He understands what I like to do, and I know what he likes to do. Right now, he has the upper hand in that, and right now, I got to find a way to take away his comfort.
He can stretch a defense. He's a big threat. They missed him in Game 2.
He kept sending somebody to the (scorer's) table, and I kept shaking him off. It was like a pitching coach calling a fastball and I wanted to throw the curve.
He gets out of bed with 20 points. I tease him all the time about how he shows up at the arena and already has 20 points. He's that good.
That defensive switch and Jacque's two shots won the game for us.
I rather it happen now than Game 7 in the Finals or an important game. I am not trying to downgrade this game as not important but those type of things happen. We have counted on Vince in the two years that he has been here and he has room for error.
Hopefully, it will be a wake-up call for us. The big thing is for to continue to get better and play for 48 minutes. (The winning streak) is great but it can also be dangerous if you become complacent and feel you can turn it on when you want.
For the guys who were here before with the 14-game winning streak, we would love to try to tie that or break that. That is hopefully a goal we are setting.
My job is not to scream and yell, my job is to cheer you and be positive. If you miss four shots, I'm still going to pass to you.
Every team that I've gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that's what I've been put on this earth to do, to fix it.
The business always gets in the way of basketball.
The 76ers currently play very good basketball, and we don't. However, we are still only one win behind them. If we continue to improve, we should be on the top of our division at the end of the regular season.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.
