cares deeply everybody team
I think everybody on this team cares deeply about him. We've got to just be supportive.
ball care lead league playoff points team telling trouble turned
I think if you look at the M.O. of this team all year, we have had trouble making stops. We have turned the ball over, we lead the league in turnovers, points of turnovers, and assist-to-turnovers. I keep telling them if you want to play playoff basketball, you've got to take care of the ball and execute. We don't get it and we have to keep working on it.
almost care impossible success
We can't give up. If you don't take care of the basketball, it's going to be almost impossible to have any success at all.
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.
careless game selection shot sucked
We had some slippage. We were careless with the ball, our shot selection wasn't as great, but when the game was on the line, we got back and sucked it up.
asked bottom care line night owe players share single teammates
Never asked anything of my players any different than I'm doing right now. Think about that. So the bottom line is, I want us to rebound, defend, share the ball, play hard. That's all. If you can't do that, if that's not important enough to you, it's not on me. You owe it to your teammates to do that every single night if you care about the right things.
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.
care country importance starting understand
We don't have them all, but they're starting to care about each other and understand the importance of representing our country the right way,
cares coach everybody good help knows players respect supportive wants
They respect Mr. Dolan and know he cares and wants to do everything he can to help us win. But it's up to us to coach better and the players to play better. Everybody knows how supportive he is, and I think that's a good thing.
aware basketball careers great guys history hockey later means older players realize sure teams until
I think a lot of the young players in basketball are not aware of what some of the older players in basketball have done, what they went through, and their accomplishments. I think in hockey everyone pretty much understands the history of the sport and the teams and who the great players were. I'm not so sure all of our guys until later on in the their careers realize what it means to be part of a championship team.
cares difficult guys looking season situations team
Right now, you're looking for guys that you want to keep. Because this is the most difficult part of a season for a team that is not going anywhere, and you can really tell who cares in situations like this.
basketball care good
We've got to take care of the basketball and take good shots. They just don't get it.
careful hopefully rest
Hopefully I can be careful with him and rest him.
basketball care cares far georgia good tech tendency year
I don't think that's too far off base. Is this about basketball or life? If we do the right things and show improvement, I think those things have a tendency to take care of themselves. He only went to Georgia Tech for a year and that's an engineering school. . . . I think he cares about us winning, so that's a good thing.
