best definitely five less players playoff quality race recipe teams
There's no recipe for winning. I can tell you right now five teams that are in the playoff race that have definitely less quality (players) than we do. But you know what? They have chemistry. It's not only about having the 10 best players in the league. It's about having chemistry. That's what we couldn't find this season.
atmosphere best chemistry couple definitely good guys kevin pieces players point team teams together
Me as a point guard, I want to try and put all those pieces together and make a good atmosphere and team chemistry and try to make all those players better players, ... With Wally, with Kevin (Garnett), with a couple young guys we've got, we're definitely one of the best teams in the West.
everybody greek likes past percent sure team works
Of course, there's no one team that everybody likes each other 100 percent and that everything works 100 percent. Even in the Greek team that won, I am sure that there's some things that didn't work. In the past when things don't work, these things come out.
dream exhausting fans five game lost people realize team teams tough win
It's tough, we lost the game and (the fans) were very, very tough on us, ... Because we were like a dream team 10 years ago, much better than other teams five or 10 years ago, the fans are used to winning. Now, people in Serbia and Montenegro can't realize why we don't win so easy. ... Mentally, it was exhausting though.
bad mentality played ready respected split team three winning
I played here for three years and I respected this team. I did everything I could for this team and I have nothing bad to say about them. We just split up. I wanted to go to a team with a winning mentality that's ready to win.
afterwards apart coach federation following forever national needs next nobody players protected stood team tear year
They let one coach who declared that he was done forever with the national team tear us apart - the players that this federation needs for next year, the following year and afterwards - down. Nobody stood up for the players and protected players from all this stuff.
angry happened man responsibility run team
I'm very angry about everything that happened here. I am the kind of man that doesn't run away from responsibility and if they think I did something for my team not to win, and if it was true, then I would take responsibility.
both defense effective hustle legs might offense point sides trying
We might have some lags in the offense because we are trying to really hustle on defense, ... I know we're going to get to that point where our legs are going to come back and we're going to be effective on both sides of the court.
career dye early played
I used to dye my hair different colors and have crazy periods, especially early in my career when I played in Italy.
That's the point; I don't even know what to expect.
business interested learning subscriber teaches
I have become a subscriber for 'Business Week.' It teaches me a lot about business, and I have really started to get into it. I'm interested in business and learning about how everything works.
anytime ball drop fault missed open shot tried
The play was to drop the ball to Kevin, but they overplayed, so we tried to play pick-and-roll. I had a wide-open shot for the lead; I missed it. That's my fault right there, but there's nothing I can do about it now. Anytime I have an open shot like that, I'll take it.
both europe exists routine tasty three
There is something that has become part of my routine that I eat two or three times a week. Sushi. It exists in Europe but isn't very popular, and especially in L.A., I started eating it. It's both tasty and healthy.
chances last playoff race soon wake
This (road trip) is one of the last chances for us to get in the playoff race. We need to wake up as soon as possible.
