amount coaching credit game people realize staff time win
The amount of preparation and the amount of time you put in just to win one game is unbelievable. I don't think most people realize that. That's where I give our coaching staff a lot of credit. They put in the time, and we're always prepared. They should get a lot of credit on that front.
biggest fearless finish guy quickness streak team
He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he does have a fearless streak in him. He has that quickness about him around the basket, where he can finish well, and he's probably the one guy on our team that can ignite the crowd.

I've always thought that pressure is trying to feed your family, trying to make a mortgage. We play a game...And this is an amazing game.

I don't complain about playing time. My job is to play so well the coach can't sit me.

The last time I checked the dictionary where it said evacuate, it didn't mean sit on a bus under the building. It means go outside.
city fired games question reception
The city would really be fired up if we can get one of these (games) in Dallas. The reception for Games 3 and 4 would be unbelievable. There's no question that we can't do that without our home-court fans.
