backs ball create easy hold position running shot swing
We can't just hold the ball when the shot clock's running down and then swing it to him and want him to create a shot. I think it's on our backs to get him in better position and get him easy looks.
great
He's a great coach, but that's a great team, too.
beat donate
I was going to donate some money, but to actually come down here and help, hands-on -- you can't beat that feeling.
closed great shooting
It's got a great shooting background. It's kind of like college; everything's kind of closed in.
chances grabbed line maybe next putting supposed three took
We were supposed to foul, but he pump-faked me and I didn't want to put him on the line for three shots. Maybe I should have grabbed him and took my chances putting him on the line. I'll do it next time.
break chance games gave happens hard leads
Those make you or break you. They're big games we should have won. We had leads in all of them and gave them up. When you play that hard and give yourself a chance to win, and it happens like that, it's heartbreaking.
open shots stepping
We're not stepping up and making shots as a team. We had a lot of open looks.

You don't get guys built like that coming out of high school. He was a grown man coming out of high school.

This means a lot because everybody (in the Hall) is great at what they did, and they are great people. They laid the foundation for me.
anytime family supported thick
Anytime I come home, it's great. I have a lot of friends and family here who have supported me through thick and thin.
best defensive dirty forward help power
Defensively, I think it's going to help them big time. You've got a power forward who does all the dirty work. You've got Ruben Patterson, who's one of the best defensive (small forwards) out there.
chances grabbed maybe next putting took
I was wrong. Maybe I should've grabbed him and took my chances putting him on the line. I'll do it next time.
best cleveland excellent keeps teammates
He's got Cleveland on his back right now. He keeps on getting better. His jumper is excellent this year. The best thing he does is make his teammates better.
caught face familiar hand saw turned
He saw a familiar face and he turned around and had his hand out, and I had my hand out. But then I caught myself. It was funny.
