david guys helped jackson situation stern
I'd like to put Stu Jackson and David Stern and some of those guys in that same situation and see how they would have reacted. He helped get things under control.
amazed david home jackson night restraint situation stern trouble
I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.
butler chance giving good guys hope jackie kid lose minutes particular playing somebody win
You guys want me to play the young guys and Jackie Butler has been pretty good. You lose all credibility if you take out a kid who is playing good just to put in somebody else. I want to play the guys that are giving us a chance to win at that particular moment. My hope is that Eddy Curry can play 40 minutes every game.
best center far jackie
Our best center by far is Jackie Butler.
behind bigger butler david guys hard jackie kids lee level nowhere rest takes worked
He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.
amazed david guys jackson point restraint situation stern understand
I could understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson or David Stern or one of those guys in that situation and see how they would have reacted. I'm amazed at the restraint he had.
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.
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.
advantage player team
What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
