believe brought none reason talked
I don't have any reason to believe that he won't be back. I haven't talked to anybody, but none of us has even brought up the possibility that he wouldn't be back.
asked guys mentally people prepare ready shape themselves
Over the summer, most of the guys here know what to expect. I think people can prepare mentally and get themselves in shape and get ready to come out and give what you're asked or not be here.
along business definitely gotta nba roll understand
It definitely is a shock, but I also understand it's a business decision. It's something that comes along with being a NBA player. I've gotta roll with it.
last remember
That's the way I play. I never remember my last shot.
coach great means proven single won
I said from Day 1, and I'll say it now: I know Coach is a great coach. He's proven it. So the only thing that means to me is that we're not doing it right. We can't be doing it right. Because he's won championships on every single level. So what does that make us? Imbeciles. That's all it can make us.

I'm thrilled that I'm getting back to playing the way I play, downright dirty and nasty. When I get people down in the post, I'm going to abuse them and score.
coach compete defeat listen points
It's tough, but not 28 points tough. That's defeat. I know we had a lot of turnovers, we have a lot of young players. Other than that, we just have to compete and listen to what coach says.
either staying
For me, it is what it is. Either you're staying or you're going.

It was a low-scoring, ugly game. We both slowed the game down. It got ugly for a while.

The thing is, we're concentrating on defense and stopping teams. That to me is making a big difference.
losing lost
I've lost before, but it's the way we're losing now that hurts.
ugly
It was ugly. It was a low-scoring, ugly game.
