entirely great opportunity smart worried
Well, if he's miffed he's not as smart as I think he is. I'm not worried about it. He had a great practice. He'll have an opportunity to play. It's entirely up to him.
guy guys odd player until worried
It's odd when you see a big-name player (on the market), but I'm not worried about that until I see the guy on our team. I've got to think about how I can make these young guys better.

That's his wife up there. We were worried about Kendra. He saw her fall back and someone flailing.

This is an audition now. I'm not worried about egos. I'm going to play the guys I think can help us.

I was worried about Kendra. Antonio told me that's why he went into the stands, to defend his wife. ... We could have used him out there (on the floor). I don't blame him, though, and I don't think anybody blames him.
anybody blame blames concerned entirely falling flailing man saw tony worried
That's entirely different. He was worried about his wife, Kendra, that's why Tony went into the stands. He said he saw her falling back and someone flailing at her. That's a man concerned about his family. I don't blame him. I don't think anybody blames him.

We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.

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.
