cunningham great guarded jason
Will Sheridan did a great job, he guarded him most of the time. Jason (Fraser) also guarded him, Dante Cunningham guarded him.
ability guards intensity kids level noah possession
Noah is incredible. Usually kids that are that big, even if they're that athletic, they don't have the ability to play every possession at the intensity level that he does. I don't know many guards that can do that, but he does that at his size. That's what makes him unique.
change good guards stopping time tough
We had a tough time stopping Aldridge down the stretch. Our guards are very good finishers. There were times when we got to the rim and he made us change our shots.
compared great guards hear night plays thank type
It's cool. That was an old school, split-the-house type of night. Thank God, (Lowry) plays for us. There have been a lot of great Philadelphia guards to play here. That's just a great thing to hear him compared on this night to some of them.
anybody count five floor guard guys rebounds
We don't have one or two big guys that we count on to get rebounds and that we keep around the basket. All of our guys guard all over the floor defensively, so anybody could be in any position. We do need to use five guys rebounding.
armed britain great guards guns machine security soldiers teams
There was a lot of security for our team, and the teams from Great Britain and Israel, ... We had armed security guards and soldiers with machine guns with us at all times. That was a wakeup call.
anytime guards outlet
Anytime our guards got into their guards, there was always an outlet to one of their forwards. I was very impressed.
ask basketball block blocking four good guard guy guys loves people point reminds seen supposed team thinking
One guy, Speedy Claxton. He reminds me a lot of him. You ask how does a guy 5-10 make it to the NBA? That's the kind of things Speedy did. He's the only other person I've seen do that. That's why he's special. A lot of guys say, 'I'm a point guard. I set people up, that's what I do.' Kyle's a ballplayer. He says: 'I'll do anything I have to do'... The point guard is not supposed to do that. A good team can block out four guys. You're not thinking about blocking out the point guard, but he loves that. That's a basketball player.
best defensive efforts guards handled might physical quickness small team toughness worry
I thought that might have been one our best defensive efforts of the season. They are a very tough, physical team and we always worry about being a small team because of our guards that I thought we handled their toughness with quickness and toughness defensively.
born four guards necessity
If I had four guards like this again, I would do it. But this was really born out of necessity.
good guards rebound score shoot
I don't want to make this complicated, but we have really good players. We have guards that can shoot and score and they can go rebound the ball.
basketball enjoy guards guys mike stand tough
These guys - Allan, Randy, Kyle, Mike even - they're tough kids. They enjoy rebounding. They enjoy being basketball players, not just guards that stand out on the perimeter.
al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.
