We want him out there. We want their full team out there to play, so you earn what you win.
When you start out a ball game and the first thing they do is call an offensive foul on him for a nonexistent foul, you know the kid doesn't have a chance out there playing. The referees just give him nothing. It's embarrassing.
We're a ways away from being that next level of NBA team.
We let the momentum slide in the fourth quarter.
We're not even going to discuss it. It's a basketball team and we've got to focus on what we need to do.
We had some luck with us tonight, ... We were fortunate to stay in this game. We made a lot of mistakes, obviously, but we learned from them.
Yao was great (Sunday). He was posting up and hitting those shots. He's in great shape now, probably the best shape I've seen him in since he's been playing in the NBA.
There are times and moments and there will be one in this playoffs where he will do the offensive work. He's going to be on fire and feeling the ability to go out there and shoot anytime, any place. Right now, I think he's just moving the ball well and doing the right things for us.
Von has a lot of game. He is an aggressive player, but sometimes it is good to have a wild horse out there who can push guys and challenge people.
Tracy looks like he's injured to me. He just didn't seem to play with as much vigor.
You learn about winning at a different level. College is a much different level than the professional game. It's exciting and it's high energy. But as we know, there's very few that come and play in this game.
My parents were, had a marriage of passion, and the passion was about their religious beliefs. They were both immigrant families that - well, my father's family came as Puritans to Massachusetts.
When I was young, I was dedicated to become a minister - my brothers and I were formally brought in front of the congregation in a dedication ceremony, where we were dedicated to the future service of God.
I think there's something about wanting to stand in the spotlight. I think the ball is a spotlight, for example, and I think they want to stand in that. I a lot of times see - LeBron is a guy that vacillates between wanting to do that and then wanting to get somebody else involved.
