allen bench gave guys hear
You could hear Allen on the bench keep saying, 'We're still there, We're still there. I think he gave a lot of guys a lot of hope.
came defended game
Come on, the game was much more important for us than for them. We came out and defended and got out early, and that was the game, really.
basketball creative dunk
He can dunk the basketball. You have to be a little creative out there. I think he'll do fine.
spot
I just can't give him a spot right now.
anxious driving game good interested running
I'm very anxious to see how he plays. I don't have any second-guessing that he will not play the same. He's been very good at the things he's been doing - driving the ball, running the team. I'm very interested to see him out there in a game situation.
glad
I've never been so glad to see No. 3.
heck
It was a heck of a shot. Once again, it was our rebounding that put us in a hole.
move moved past
I've been over there before. We have to move on. You can't always live in the past of what we did or what we were. The Blazers moved on and I moved on.
It's unacceptable that they got here a little late.

comment focused glad passing
I can't comment about the Raptors' passing on him. I'm glad he's on our team. He's a young player, a very focused player. He's still growing, still learning. He's a very important part of our team.
