complete
I just don't get it. He was a complete player.
ball beat eventually game knew michael tried
If you give Michael Redd a chance, he'll beat you, even on an off night. We tried to take the ball out of his hands. We knew that eventually he would take the game over.
drive guy stared
He stared at me every freaking timeout. And I told our coaches, 'We've got to put this guy in or he's going to drive me nuts.' Honestly, that's why I put him in.
basically body couple engaged good half language mark season summer system talked
He's just been engaged. We've been engaged with him. Mark and I, we've had a couple of good conversations this summer one right before the season started. We basically talked about a lot of things. I told him on my half I will just try to communicate better, but on his half the body language and all the other things have to be better. And if we were in a grading system he'd be an A-plus.
deserved stretch ton win
I don't know if we actually deserved to win. But I did think we had just a ton of opportunities down the stretch to win that game.
favor given miami size speed trouble win
Chicago's speed and their pick-and-roll has given Miami trouble in the past. At the end of the day though, size will win out and that will favor Miami.
believe good throw
He's young. Don't throw him out there too early. It's going to take him some time, and he's going to be a good player. I believe that.
affect good worried
He's worried that it'll affect his knee. He said he didn't feel good at all out there.
difference game keeps teammates third understand year
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.
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.
difficult early mental
The mental part is difficult early on. Then it comes down to how much they want it after that.
beginning paul pierce quarter third took
The end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth, Paul Pierce took over the game.
difference keeps last selfish teammates year
The difference in him now from last year is that he keeps his teammates involved. He scored 36 in the flow, and if he was selfish he could have scored 50 and they may have lost.
danny five games last page six teaching
These last five or six games are tough, and like I told Danny (Ainge), I don't know what to do. But this is nothing I want to go through again. Me and Danny are on the same page about this, though. We have to keep teaching the young guys.
