We just knuckled down. We still felt we had an opportunity to win. Our bench did a great job of keeping us in the game. When we came in the game in the fourth quarter, we just wanted to execute every time down the floor and we did that.
coach job player running sideline slick stuff supposed talk trash trying
The only thing I know is he's supposed to coach his team. He don't need to be on the sideline running his mouth, trying to talk trash from the bench. He's not a player no more, he's a coach. His job is to coach his team, not to have little slick stuff to say from the bench.
coach job stuff
My thing is, your job is to coach the team. Your job is not to say stuff to me, and that's what got me (ticked) off.

It was weird. I really felt a sense of relief when I stepped on that floor. It gave me a chance to forget about everything that was going on off the court. I hadn't smiled all day until I got on that court.
