days four
He told me he was stiff, he said go to Jamal (Crawford). I've said the same thing for four days now.
five gotten weeks
He told me he was here five weeks ago. He said we'd gotten better. That makes me feel good.
behind bigger butler david guys hard jackie kids lee level nowhere rest takes worked
He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.
cheering good improved kid people player please team
He's the most improved player I think I've ever coached, and he's as good a kid as I've ever been around. He does things for our team to please me to a fault, but you get enough like that and we'll have some people cheering for us.
knew man
Gee, I never knew you had a comb-over. Man overboard!
home trouble
Antonio would be in a lot more trouble if he went home and hadn't done anything.
draft earlier love orleans picks
I love the kid. I begged my friends who had earlier picks than New Orleans to draft him. He's phenomenal.
handle quickly
I'll have a better handle on it tomorrow. He wanted to go back in and them motioned to me pretty quickly that he was hurt.
affect bad ball believe compound effort generally hustle kids strongly talk turn understanding
I look around, the young kids can make a mistake, but it's generally with effort and that will go a long way to correcting itself, ... We've got to get all of us doing that, because you're going to make mistakes. Take a bad shot, turn the ball over. It's going to happen, but you can't compound it by not doing your job, and understanding the trust, I always talk about trust, if I don't hustle back I affect my whole team, and I have to believe strongly enough not to ever let that happen.
afraid consider great nervous players rush walked
I know he's not afraid to take it. I was a little nervous that he walked it up. I wanted him to kind of rush it up but it was a great win, especially when you consider the players we had out there.
guys mean simply
I know how much those two guys mean to us but we had some guys that simply didn't compete.
record
In this league, you look at the record and to have a record like us you have to look at the coach.
coming grew happen heard imagined
I heard it. I grew up coming to this place. I never imagined that would ever happen to me. Obviously, that was very special.
answer break evaluate heard until
I heard he said he was out until the All-Star break, so I don't have to answer it any more. That's what I heard, so he's out until the All-Star break and we'll evaluate after the All-Star break.
