far games gotten played
He's gotten better each game. Of all the games that he's played this year, this is by far the best.
assume brings follow future good work
He's got such a good work ethic. We'll have to see what the future brings for Brian. I assume he's going to follow in (his father's) footsteps.
effort hustle played plays
We made some hustle plays that got us back. We played hard. The effort was there, and that was big.
He was phenomenal. I told him he got us back in the game.
field four kept man played run six three
He was phenomenal. I kept (Curry) in with four fouls and we made a little run and then boom, he's out of the game. No blocks, six fouls, three turnovers, no assists, two-for-seven from the field and his man played with unbelievable energy.
easy figure finding giving larry maybe saying telling trying win
He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out.
gave run tried
He was great. We tried to run with him and we gave up 71 (first-half) points.
last missed year
He was really missed last year in Detroit.
behind ben few looked playing
He's playing on one leg, and he was phenomenal. I looked a few times, and Ben was behind him, and you couldn't see him.
best league
He's phenomenal. He's one of the best that's come into this league in a long, long time.
felt guy himself knowing looking looks loves perfect point special wants
I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad.
admire anybody feeling realize respect
I admire and respect him, but I have that feeling for anybody that sits down at that end. But you realize what he's done and that's pretty special.
home trouble
He'd be in a lot more trouble when he got at home if he didn't do what he did.
doctors great keeps steve telling wants
He keeps telling me he wants to come back. If the doctors give him the OK, we'll do it, but we'll just go day to day. It would be great to have him back, but if not, I'll get to play Steve more and Jamal more and Nate.
