chicago easy good great hope situation team
He's a Chicago kid. That team had a great future. I don't know if it's ever easy being traded. My hope is that this is a good situation for him.
basketball good guys help
He's a good basketball player. He's going to help our young guys just with his presence.
court gets great guys looks nba needs
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.
drive jump shot
Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!
ball maybe ran stuff three tonight
You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.
perspective step
From my perspective, it's a big step forward.
against great player today
(Frye) was up against a great, great player today and didn't back up once.
focus
I don't think you can focus on the record. It's a marathon.
ball except expressed guys heard last playing pleased seven shot stuff until
I don't think you guys ever heard me say I wasn't pleased with the way he was playing until the last game. Even with all the other stuff that's going on every other week, I've never said anything except I was pleased with the way he's been playing and way he's trying. The last game, he was not aggressive. He shot the ball seven times. He deferred. I expressed that. That's one game.
except expect great guys happen heard last played playing pleased progress until
I don't think you guys ever heard me say I wasn't pleased with the way he's playing until the last game. I've never, ever said anything except I was pleased with the way he's playing, the way he's trying, and I thought he has been making great progress ... We've played twenty-some games. I don't expect this to happen overnight.
basketball hear love team tune
I don't tune them out at all. I hear it all. I'm embarrassed. I know how much they love basketball and love this team and want us to do well. And when we play poorly, I hear it, and it kills me because I'm responsible.
fun
I don't know where I got the term, but I always tell the guys, we always write on the board, 'play hard, play together, play smart, have fun and try to guard,'
honestly hopefully sooner
I don't know when I will be back. Hopefully it'll be sooner than later, but I honestly don't know.
across everybody people trying value win
I don't know what people can do yet in a lot of cases. What I'm trying to get across to everybody is, this is what we value as a group, and this is how we can win games. We're trying to see who's on the same page.
