anyone challenge harder staff works
I challenge anyone to look at any other staff and see who works harder than the staff we have.
confidence difference playing training
I can see a difference in him. In training camp, it was like he was a little lost. Now, he's playing with confidence and like he belongs.
game
He's very competitive. He's edgy. I like that. He scraps. If the game is ugly, he can play that way. If the game is pretty he can play that way.
feels guy open question took wide
He thought he had an open shot. He was wide open. So he took the shot. I will never question a guy if he feels like he has a shot.
almost impossible physically stop
He's like a locomotive going to the basket. It's almost physically impossible to stop him without fouling him.
force handful played wrestling
He's a handful for us down there wrestling with him. He's really played well and been a force.
defensive figure great guys night offensive player sets spent trying
He's a one-man wrecking crew. We spent the whole night trying to figure out the offensive sets around where he was on the play. He's a great player. He's one of the guys you have to think about for Defensive Player of the Year.
advantage bit block chance couple creative fact guys lane move opened quite sending special three took top
Garnett was special (tonight). We opened up the lane for him quite a bit where he had the chance to move from block to block. He took advantage of the fact that we spaced the floor. They were sending a couple of guys at him - one in front, one behind, and one on top of him. They had three guys on him at all times, so we had to get creative with the ball.
dress improve intentions race trying whatsoever
I don't think the commissioner had any race intentions whatsoever with the new dress code. I just think he's trying to improve the image.
alone anyone team
I don't think he alone will let anyone on this team give up.
almost anyone asked build goal guys hope justin missed ran reed run
I asked Justin Reed if anyone had ever run an 'iso' for him in Boston, and he said no. We ran an 'iso' for him and he almost missed the whole goal he was so open. Those things you go through and hope the young guys build on that.
asked football time
I asked him one time why he didn't go to Kentucky. He said it's not a football school.
blew couple past
I don't think they blew by us once on those mid-pick-and-rolls. The past couple games, they've had a smorgasbord.
blew containing couple defensive excellent executing job past stopping tonight
I don't think they blew by us once in a pick-and-roll situation. Where in the past couple games, they've had a smorgasbord, tonight he did an excellent job of containing that, stopping that and really executing our defensive schemes.
