players talked talking
We were talking about our team, I kind of let him know about what our players are doing. And then we talked about the Minnesota-Boston trade.
great high level limited nights players
Two great players had spectacular nights and we competed at a high level with a limited group.
players wish
I wish this would get over. It's really about the players and us getting better.
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.
believe confidence great listening players settle talking
I think he's got a great feel for the game. He's got experience. I believe he can settle us down. He's been great for me. He contributes a lot, in a lot of ways, just talking to him and listening to what he says, suggestions he makes. And when he plays, players have a lot of confidence in him.
confidence follow players showing took written
I think he said it because it was his way of showing his confidence in his ability. That's the way I took it. I wouldn't want players not to have confidence, but I think sometimes, because it's written in this day and age, that it's going to follow you.
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.
bench floor huge meant players win
It was a huge win for us because there haven't been a lot of opportunities for us to smile. I could see from our bench and the players out on the floor that it meant a lot to them.
afraid consider great nervous players rush walked
I know he's not afraid to take it. I was a little nervous that he walked it up. I wanted him to kind of rush it up but it was a great win, especially when you consider the players we had out there.
defend hope players willing
I hope we get players in here who want to defend and we keep the ones who have that as a priority. I think that's the only way you can win. Generally, if a guy's willing to defend, he's going to be unselfish, he's always going to play hard, and he's probably going to have unbelievable character.
hope players
I hope we get players in here who want to defend. And keep the ones who make that a priority.
hope players
I hope we get players in here that want to defend. I hope the players we keep, that's a priority.
active commenting players talking
I'm not commenting on Jerome. He's not on the active list. I'm talking about active players right now.
blessed coach coaches good happens happier people players privilege taught time
I've been blessed with the players I've had the privilege to coach as well as with coaches that have taught me. I know every time something good happens to me, those people are happier than I am.
