best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
american-coach basketball best front
I think his best basketball is in front of him,
best career everybody guys hold looks physically shooter special spend
It's so special when guys spend their whole career with one team. (Reggie) still looks like he can play to me. I think everybody used to say that physically he wouldn't hold up. He's amazing. He's the best shooter I've ever been around.
best darn difficult lose overcome
They started out pretty darn good, but when you lose an Allan Houston, you know, your best player, it's pretty difficult to overcome that.
best group guys jump none walk
You walk into this place, and none of these guys will jump out at you. But they are a hard-working group ? probably the best group I've ever coached.
becoming best
Jamal, to me, is becoming our best perimeter defender. When did we think that would happen?
best center far jackie
Our best center by far is Jackie Butler.
arguably best help positive somebody tells vibes
He's your leader, he's arguably your best player. We got a young team. They look up to somebody like him. If he doesn't show positive vibes it's not going to help them. He always tells me, 'No coach, I'm involved, I'm not getting down.' I said, 'Sometimes you have to show them that.' Again, that's not his nature, but it would be helpful.
best league
He's phenomenal. He's one of the best that's come into this league in a long, long time.
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.
best faced until
But until we find out what our best lineup is, this is what we're going to have to be faced with.
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).
along best chance figure gives golf hole jack love playing rather run somehow somewhere
I love to see us run up and down the court, but I think somewhere along the line, we're going to have to figure it out. It's like playing Jack Nicklaus in golf in his prime. I'd rather play him one hole than 18. We've got to somehow say this gives us our best chance to win.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
