I do understand putting them all in at the same time is dangerous. I don't really care. I'm still going to do it right now. I think they need to get out there and play minutes so I'm going to keep doing it.
liked
I don't think he liked it. But he didn't squawk about it, either. And I think he understands that when he comes off the bench, it makes us a better team. We need him there.
asked cares coaches difference night rip scores
I asked one of their coaches what was the difference between here and, like, Minnesota. And he said: 'No one cares who scores. If Chauncey scores 40 one night and Rip has two, Rip could are less. And that's unique. That's a coach's dream.
blow coaches court few hold rookies solid
He's one of the few guys, especially as a rookie, that when he's on the floor, at least to some degree, you breathe, ... Usually when rookies are on the court coaches don't breathe. They hold their breath. But he doesn't play that way. He's not going to blow you away with flash. He's just going to blow you away with solid basketball.
best calm featured game gets good guy job letting plays quality videotape watching
He's not going to be a guy that will be featured on ESPN, but he may be a guy that is featured on our videotape when we're watching film as a team. To me, that's always more important. He does a lot of things well and he does them the right way. His best quality is that he plays with a calm and he gets the job done. He's so good at letting the game come to him.

It was an interesting game, I'll say that. I was really happy besides the ending. I was just really proud of our young guys. They just kept fighting. I obviously thought we had a chance to win the game. I just wanted to teach execution to the young guys.

The mental part is difficult early on. Then it comes down to how much they want it after that.

If I was a betting man .... You can't even joke about that any more. If my wife was a betting woman ... I'd say Al would be back first.
fourth good learning
It was a good fourth quarter. A good learning tool.
came five funniest guess guys locker michael minutes missed player ran room sat stayed
The funniest part is I missed most of the celebration because I ran into the locker room because I thought that's what everyone did, ... I probably sat in there for five minutes and not one player came in there. I came back out and Michael Wilson's on the rim, guys are celebrating. I guess I should have stayed out there, but I didn't know.

The end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth, Paul Pierce took over the game.

The difference now is that he keeps his teammates involved. He scored 36 in the flow. The guy's in the third year of his career. To understand the game the way he does, he should coach.
