anywhere calling damage either heck hope hoping played player plays sidelines takes uniform
Either he's going to be in uniform doing some damage or he's going to be on the sidelines calling out our plays like he did when we played them in the preseason, ... I'm hoping that he's not anywhere to be seen. He's a heck of a player and I hope that he takes another day off.
competition defends defensive excellent kinds passes player seems shoot step stood taste
The thing that stood out to me is that Andray seems to have an excellent feel for the game, ... He passes well, he defends well, he can step out and shoot the ball. He competes on the glass. He doesn't back down on the defensive end. Those are the kinds of things you like to see from a young player getting his first taste of competition at this level.
center forward great guards physical player presence quarters question special three
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.
change players repetitive serious time true
The time when we made the change in the lineup was a true wake-up call. It said that we've done enough with the X's and the O's and the repetitive talking, this and that and film work. Now it is time to change the people. When players see that, they say this is serious business.
attacks best bit early help home knows players
I think he may be more aggressive. He's a little bit different at home - he attacks early and often. But he knows that the best players help their teammates, and that's what he's been doing.
adding excited player playoff smart tough
One of the things I like about Antonio is his versatility, ... Those two can really be interchangeable back there. He's a tough player and he's a smart player with a lot of playoff experience, which is something we were excited about adding to our team.
gets intrinsic player scouting surface tape value warts
When you know a player from the outside, you don't know all of him. You don't know his warts when he gets to your gym. You don't know the intrinsic value that he may have. You just see him on tape and on scouting reports, and that's the surface of the guy.
good help players raised teammates
Those two have really raised their games. They help their teammates get their opportunities and they know when to get their own. That's why they are good players and why we are a well-rounded team.
added bigger character experience heart man players
It's talent, toughness, experience and character. We've added two players that give us all those qualities. The heart is bigger than the man sometimes. That's what we have. We think that's going to take us to another level.
good players
They're good players and they're going to compete.
assassin basketball belief focused good job lead player playoff team three victories
How will he react? Will he be focused to lead this team the right way to as many victories as we can get? Will he sulk for three weeks? My belief is that he'll be a focused assassin -- a focused basketball player to get the job done and lead this team to a good playoff position.
bother commitment continued dangerous defensive doctor four hoped mike minutes percent players pressure respect six sure
This is just what the doctor ordered. I respect what Mike Woodson has done with Atlanta. They are a dangerous team. We wanted to make sure that there was 100 percent defensive commitment from our players for the first four to six minutes of the game. We hoped that if we continued to put the pressure on Atlanta, then the pressure would bother them.
ask defender develop good guards kinds liked looking player saw
I liked what I saw from Donell, ... He's versatile, he's a very good defender and he can do a lot of the things we ask our guards to do. You're always looking to develop a young player with those kinds of skills.
games second start winning
We just want to go out and play the way that we did in the second quarter. We need to start winning these games on the road.
