best champions nba potential saw second seen teams top
That's one of the best teams I've seen assembled, from top to bottom. You saw the potential NBA champions in the second half.
ball defend explained key playing push supposed
I've explained to him to get in there and push the ball and defend and do what he's supposed to do when he's starting. The key is getting that opportunity, because Marcus is playing so well right now.
flexible goal ready starting trade
It's your goal starting out to make the playoffs. I didn't see not making the playoffs, no, I didn't, not at all. First, I didn't see the trade (with Boston) coming. I didn't see going into the development direction. But again, you've got to be ready for that and flexible for that as an organization being on the same page.

It's who's playing the best basketball, at both ends of the floor.
anybody disrespect guy liked mentally ricky spirit tough toughness type wins
It's who he is. That's what he does. He's that type of athletic, mentally tough guy that I've always liked from afar. No disrespect to Wally or anybody we lost, but I've always liked Ricky Davis' spirit from afar. That type of toughness is what wins for you down the stretch.

It's something you cannot take lightly at all. And I don't take it lightly.

Eddie Griffin had a great game. He did an excellent job of protecting the paint and playing big.

Everybody's going to make a run and when they did, we didn't collapse. It's not fun losing the lead, but the important thing is that we didn't give in.

It's hard to run out when you don't get defensive stops. They got so many offensive boards that it slowed down our momentum.

It's just whenever it feels like it's right.
ahead tempted
It's just better to just go ahead and not even be tempted to give them those minutes.
applaud attacked basket freedom learning responsibility took
It's just being young. He wasn't afraid. He attacked the basket and took the shots. But with freedom comes responsibility and accountability. You have to make those plays. I applaud him for being aggressive, but you've got to make it happen. We just have to keep learning from those experiences.

It was an accident. Nobody feels more dejected about it than Kevin.
accident
It was an accident and he apologized profusely.
