against anybody ben bunch few gets hot maintain nobody pace players ray
Very few players are able to maintain the pace he's on. I don't think anybody I've ever had can get as hot as he can get. Ben (Gordon) and Ray (Allen) are probably better shooters, but nobody gets as hot as he does. He's done that against a whole bunch of folks. It's not the first time.
nobody
We have no one like Brandon Roy. Nobody does.

He gave us that legitimate guard that I've been talking about that nobody wants to hear.
ball coaching composure nobody player roy seems tough watch
There is nobody like him. When you watch Roy play, from a coaching standpoint, he's everything you want a player to be. He has composure and seems to want the ball in tough situations.

We were living on an 11-0 season that meant absolutely nothing. We took a 15-8 lead and from then, didn't play an ounce of basketball.
absolutely living meant season
We were living on an 11-0 season that meant absolutely nothing. We never were much of a factor.
ourselves
We shrunk ourselves down to make ourselves better.
ball call heart inside points seven shown turned
We turned the ball over 26 times yet I think our heart was shown on enough occasions. When you're down 10 points or down seven points with something to go, you need to call upon the reserves. There's something inside you that won't let you lose.
