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.

anybody best career conference effect eric finals free given guard nba outcome point rein surely workman
If you're the best player, surely you're going to have some effect on the outcome of a game. And I've said this from Day 1: I've never given anybody in my career more free rein in my career. And I went to the conference finals (in Indiana) with Haywood Workman as a point guard. With Eric Snow, who was the fourth-string point guard in Seattle. He went to the NBA Finals (with Philadelphia).
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.

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.

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.

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

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.
best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
