against coaching good hate honest job nba people playing pressure puts quality season speed step three
I really didn't know what to expect, to be honest with you. You hate to put three of them out there together, playing in an NBA season against quality teams. That puts a lot of pressure on them. But they're good kids, they want to get better. It's going to speed up their growth, so we have to have some other people step up and we have to do a better job coaching them. But they're getting better.
anybody best career conference effect eric finals free given guard nba outcome point rein surely workman
If you're the best player, surely you're going to have some effect on the outcome of a game. And I've said this from Day 1: I've never given anybody in my career more free rein in my career. And I went to the conference finals (in Indiana) with Haywood Workman as a point guard. With Eric Snow, who was the fourth-string point guard in Seattle. He went to the NBA Finals (with Philadelphia).

bounce confidence games hitting lost period rookies shot since

I just love the effort tonight. But when you don't have the win that makes it tough.

I put the wrong people in a position to fail. That's the bottom line.

Say it was last summer, I think you'd probably make that choice. I think he's going to improve.
