aggressive coming heard people
Coming in the league, a lot of people have heard he wasn't aggressive or physical, and with all rookies, he'll be challenged,
depends everybody guys handle heard knew michael time tried
It depends on who the guys are. I've heard Michael do it. Because everybody knew he tried to do everything the right way all the time I think they could handle it.
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.
guys heard knew situation walked
This is the not the same situation I walked into in Detroit, ... Those guys all knew how to play. There weren't a lot of things I told them that they haven't heard or done before.
coming grew happen heard imagined
I heard it. I grew up coming to this place. I never imagined that would ever happen to me. Obviously, that was very special.
answer break evaluate heard until
I heard he said he was out until the All-Star break, so I don't have to answer it any more. That's what I heard, so he's out until the All-Star break and we'll evaluate after the All-Star break.
caught games great heard hope hurt next played playing plays teammates wants win
I hope he wants what I want. I hope he wants to win games, make his teammates better. That's the only thing that really matters. I heard he wants to play like Allen. I heard he wants us to play like Phoenix. I don't get caught up in that. I thought he was playing great and if he plays like he played before he got hurt we'll win games next year.
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.
caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.
ball caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.

What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
