blame decisions guys happened head position power rest takes team ultimately waiting
He, like the rest of us, has a lot of things going on. He's in a position of power, he's the head coach, and ultimately he takes a lot of the blame for what happened this season. But he has a lot of decisions to make, just like a lot of guys on the team have a lot of decisions to make. I'm waiting to see what happens.

It was basically a support meeting. Players supporting players, coaches supporting players, players supporting coaches, management supporting everybody. It was good. It wasn't anything like, 'You guys have to start playing harder.' It was just support.

It was so weird, ... People would say, 'You guys did great. I'm happy for you.' I'm like, 'But I was traded weeks ago.'

against best bruce caught defenders drove finals gave guys people shot stop
Then, it wasn't a Finals atmosphere, but he went up against Bruce Bowen, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and he gave Bruce fits. Al wasn't one of those guys to play with the ball. He caught it and shot it or caught it and drove it and shot it. Not many people could stop him.

cares coming game love question ruling stern supposed tells uncertain wonder
The question to me is, what do we do? You kind of can see where (commissioner David) Stern is coming from, but I wonder if he's at a game and it's someone he cares about. What would he do? What are we supposed to do? This ruling tells us, again, in no uncertain terms, don't go in the stands. So now my question is, what do we do if someone we love is getting attacked?
beating check definitely equipped heart inside legs shirts sustain takes team
You got two legs and two feet, a beating heart and a brain, you're equipped to play defense. I think this team definitely has what it takes to play defense. We just have to check what's inside our shirts to see if we're going to sustain that.
learned stay takes
We learned as we went. You learn what it takes to be good. Once you know that, you learn what it takes to stay good.

We don't want to be associated with the worst (record). If you're looking at the pick Chicago has, we don't want to finish too far in the basement because the further down we finish, the higher their pick is.
cleared giving
Mr. Dolan just kind of cleared the air. He said he's not giving up on us.

My instinct was to go for it, ... But then reality set in and I was like, ?What the heck am I doing??

Nobody really said anything on the bench, ... But, yeah, I guess you could say I messed up the streak.
hard knowing larry likes people thinks wants
Part of me thinks Larry likes it, people not knowing what he wants or whatever. All I know is I go as hard as I can when I'm out there. Sometimes, things just don't go your way.
