confident felt help playing talked twice work
We talked and he wasn't getting enough work here. He told me we're playing a lot of games, we've been traveling. He told me he could work out twice a day, and he's done it before and he really felt confident that this would help him.

We're playing under control better. We're not just running up and down the court. I feel good about everybody's contribution.
bit control extra good guys open playing running seems steve
We're playing under control a little bit better and not just running up and down the court. When you've got guys like Jalen and Steve who will make the extra pass, it just seems to open it up for everybody. I feel good about everybody's contribution.

We've got to take care of the basketball and take good shots. They just don't get it.
care control harder hope imperative playing realize though time
We've got to realize that you play differently in the playoffs. You've got to control tempo. It's imperative that you take care of the ball. You've got to play harder than you thought about playing at any time of the year, even though you hope that's a given.

To come back from 25, you gotta be perfect. Unfortunately, we didn't get it done, but it was fun watching them compete.

He reminds me so much of Isiah (Thomas).

He's a great official. It's great for the game. He still looks young and he gets up and down the court as well as anybody. The NBA needs guys like him.

When it happens, it happens. It's the second day, so I don't think it's critical.

We don't see it as a crisis, we see it as really moving in a positive direction for the people we serve.

We got close, but did not get it done. But it was fun watching them compete and watching the younger guys.

We got beat on dribble penetration and that was huge. They have a bunch of guys that can shoot and pass the ball. When you have Jason (Kidd), it becomes contagious.
