best bit coach convinced good hard played possibly talked
At times he's played as good as I think he can possibly play. I also think he's not completely convinced that the way I coach is in his best interest. And that's something's that's been a little bit hard for me, and we've talked about it over and over again.
difficult since
That's been the most difficult thing since I got here. It can't be about any one individual. It's got to be about the team.
anybody blame blames concerned entirely falling flailing man saw tony worried
That's entirely different. He was worried about his wife, Kendra, that's why Tony went into the stands. He said he saw her falling back and someone flailing at her. That's a man concerned about his family. I don't blame him. I don't think anybody blames him.
chances few figure games generally guard last learn listen preaching share
The last few games you see how many assists we've had, it's been a lot better. If we share the ball, try to guard and try to play hard, you'll generally get something accomplished. I've been preaching that forever. If you want to listen and learn you'll get it. If you don't, chances are you won't figure it out.
brown great hate larry respect
The Larry Brown situation, I hate that, man. I respect Larry Brown, he's a great coach. But I don't like what he has become. This is getting to be redundant.

Their effort was phenomenal. They made hustle play after hustle play.
happy played pleased stretch win
I'm not pleased with the way we played at all. But a win down the stretch is a win. And I'm just happy to be playing.
evaluate guys time
I'm going to play guys and see what we have. What better time to evaluate your guys?
francis glad scoring smart system understand won
I'm glad he won the slam-dunk contest, but I don't think they have a scoring system like that when you play a game. And I think he's smart enough to understand that when you have Marbury and Francis and Jamal, you can't play everybody.
figure gonna playing rest
I'm gonna keep playing the kids, ... and then figure out the rest of it from there.
ball free inside shot throws
I'm not going to get on the whistles. They shot free throws because they got the ball inside and they were aggressive.

I'm not going to comment any more. That's not my point of emphasis right now. I'm just happy he was back.
key
I'm not down on Eddy Curry. I think Eddy Curry is a key to our team.

I'm not commenting on Jerome. He's not on the active list. I'm talking about active players right now.
