boston both game huge meant played teams
It's important both teams get better. If you look at what Boston meant to our league, every game they played was a huge rivalry.
against bothered defense hard stopping three time zone
We had a hard time stopping them. Their zone bothered us. We had to come down against a set defense for most of the first three quarters.
both great opportunity reward
It's been a great series. It's a great opportunity for both teams, ... The reward is incredible.
both defensive fought last minute night rebound
I thought he did a lot better. He rebounded much better the other night; last night he got his first defensive rebound with a minute to go. But I thought he fought them both on the post.
both early hard help please quality trying
I thought early on they were both tight. I think right now they're trying too hard to please me. I told them to take quality shots, as many as they can get, and by doing that you'll help everybody.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
game loved people tried
I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.
caught coaching expected games hope people race trying won
I never expected this. But again, I don't get caught up in records. It's disappointing, obviously, that we've only won 19 games and we're not in the race for the playoffs, but the only thing you can keep doing is trying to get better, keep coaching and hope that people understand.
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.
audition guys stuff
I know what we have. You guys know what we have. There's no audition. That audition stuff has been over a long time.
amazing asked bad paid positive record
It's sometimes amazing to me, you see our record and you see how positive he is. I feel bad. I'm being paid a lot of money, I've been asked to do something, make changes, make us better, and I feel bad that it's going like this.
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.
gets painful
It's sore. It's going to be painful if he gets hit.
wind
It's not going to be as bad. The wind will be a lot lower.
