best opportunity reason wins work
I think it's fantastic. I have had an opportunity to work with him. He is one of the best in the business. That is the reason why he wins the ballgames.
coming complete guy key league lethal proved starting team throughout title win
I think that title team proved throughout the league that you could win and not just have one or two superstars. That team was lethal because you didn't know where it was coming from, and that's how they are now. You can't key on one guy on that team, especially the starting unit. That's a complete team.
great playing plays
He's been playing unbelievably. He's made plays where at first I am saying, 'No, no, no,' then it's a great play.
forget guys missed owe stop
He's going to be missed for a long, long time. I don't want these guys to forget him. I don't want them to ever stop remembering him and what he was about. I think we all owe that to his legacy.
familiar
He's been here and he's familiar with everything we do.
anyone good starters
We made them play their starters big minutes. That's what you want, but their starters are as good as anyone in the league.
game guys necessary plays stepped win
Our young guys stepped up and made plays when the game got tight. We were able to step up and do the things necessary to win the game.
finally finish locker offensive playing room solid team time
Our locker room is very excited. I think any time you play this team (Boston), they're well-coached. They've got a lot of offensive weapons. For us to come in and play a solid game, and finally finish a game, (is satisfying) because we've been playing pretty well as of late.
grown last looks percent shot year
He's grown up. Last year we would have cringed when he shot the basketball. Now his shot looks like a shot. He's 100 percent better than he was last year, but he still has a long way to go.
few hurt mix percent pickup run sure tests training
He hurt it the other day during a pickup game, and we just wanted to run a few tests to make sure everything was fine. We wanted to make sure he was 100 percent before we put him out there in the mix for training camp.
couple currently great league mesh talent wait
He is a great young talent in our league and when you couple him with the young talent we currently have on the roster, I can't wait to see them mesh as a unit.
figure plays
We just have to figure out how to make plays at the end.
care defense offense rebound score
We've got to take care of the ball, rebound and defend. I think we'll be able to score some, so offense won't be a problem. That's why our defense has to be a given.
ball chase dirty floor glass guys hits loose scoop screens
But I need that from all those guys. We need our big guys to do the dirty work, to set screens and chase down loose balls. I need to know that if my big guys are around and a ball hits the glass or the floor that they're going scoop it up.
