group sustain trying wins
We don't want to get over-excited with just one win. We are just trying to be consistent. We have to sustain a group of wins and then I'll be able to say we are successful.
build consistency feels finish finishing games good monkey trying win won year
We wanted to finish the year off right. We know we've been so close, and for us to get a win like this feels good - especially finishing 2005 off with a win. But we've won back-to-back games once this year, so I don't think we're going to get too high. I mean, we're still trying to build some consistency as a team. Hopefully, we got the monkey off our back.
great rules showcase
The new rules are made for great individuals to showcase their talent, and that's what they're doing.

Even with all of the players that they have lost, they still have a great team. Kenny Thomas stepped it up and knocked down the key shots. We knew that they have capable players, and by no means did we take them for granted.

It takes a while to learn about everyone's tendencies. You have to learn where guys like to get the ball. Today was good for that. It will be even better next week when we have three days off.

certain establish figure goes guys last looking played talent team year
We're looking for certain guys to establish their roles. What are they going to be for this team? That's what preseason is about, especially with the team we have. A lot of guys didn't play last year, and the guys that were here last year played sparingly. Obviously, we have a lot of young talent here. We've just got to figure it out as the preseason goes along.
both court great juices night respect utmost whenever
Whenever you get two all-stars on the court at the same time, you always have that sense of pride. We both have the utmost respect for one another and I think our competitive juices come out. What can I say? It was just a great night for both of us.

'A Christmas Story' is my favorite Christmas movie.
came three total weeks
In college, I probably lost a total of about 11 games, and then I came to the Celtics and in my first three weeks we went on a nine-game losing streak.
I've never been in a gang. None of my friends have been in a gang. I've never rolled around with big entourages.
gym love
I'm a competitive person. I love the game of basketball. I'm a gym rat.

Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.
