best guards mike player post shut
Mike guards the best post on the other team. I know he can shut that player down.
positive player organization
I've been hearing this since I first joined the Reds organization, that I'm going to be the next this or that. It's tough on a young player coming up. You show some positive things and everybody jumps on that and says you should be the next Willie Mays.
player glad anticipate
For me to become the highest paid player in the franchise, it was something I didn't anticipate. But I'm glad. I like playing for Cincinnati.
team player people
I was disappointed in everything - my start and the team's start. People got down on me, but I never got down on myself. I still believed I could be the type of player everyone, including me, thought I was going to be.
player thinking people
I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect.
late missed
We missed some one-and-ones late in the game. Then they made some big baskets.
effort rally seemed short
It was very short on specifics, and lacked any new initiatives. It just seemed like an effort to rally the country.
gave swing third
There was a five-point swing at the end of the third that gave them momentum.
defense game kept knew played
Our defense has kept us in every game we've played this year. I knew we'd come out and play hard.
fought game hard league physical
Every game in this league is a hard fought battle. We wanted to play physical and take it to them. Selah wanted to play physical and take it to us. I say let's go at it.
defended heck lately mike played turn
Mike got his turn (on Thursday). He hadn't played much lately but he went out there and defended the heck out of people.
beginning feels goal league win year
It feels great. We had a goal at the beginning of the year we'd like to win a league title.
break point six
We just couldn't break that four, five, six point barrier.
help kids
Those are the two most competitive kids I've ever coached. They will do anything to help out the team.
