barely good guys half initiate involved knew order player scary second took type
The first half was unbelievable. He knew in order for us to win, he had to initiate the offense, look to get guys involved and then in the second half, he took over. Those are things you see him evolve, day-in and day-out and it was good to see him do the things he did tonight. But I think everyone understands the type of player that he is. The scary thing is he's barely scratching the surface.
calls care continue guy himself job learning rest scary surface win
I don't care what he calls himself as long as we continue to win and he does his job. His job is to first come in and make my job and the rest of these guys' job easy. The guy is unbelievable and the scary thing is the sky's the limit. He's just scratching the surface and he's just learning how to play the game.
finally glad great guys order points starting takes understand
I think we are really starting to click. We are starting to understand what it takes in order for us to be successful, with everyone getting touches. They don't know who to give all their attention. You concentrate on two guys and there is still another guy who can get 20 points a night. This is a great nucleus and I'm glad it's finally starting to come together.
coming guy though won
I don't see myself as a guy coming off the bench. But we won tonight, so even though I was coming off the bench, I'm happy.
basketball finding guys playing standards tired ways win
Guys just got tired of not playing up to our standards and not finding ways to win basketball games.
aggressive apart ball came comfort gone great guy pick tonight tried zone
All of the great ones have gone through it. You can't let a guy pick you apart and not be aggressive with him. Tonight we came right at (James). We tried to be more aggressive and tried to get the ball out of his hands. We didn't let him get into that comfort zone that he was in the first game.
basketball close far four fun game guys job last leadership poise showing sure three
The frustrating part is we're right there. We're in every game going down to the last two or three minutes. we've just got to do a better job as far as showing some poise and some leadership to make sure guys are all of one accord. Of late, it just hasn't been there. It's fun basketball to be in a game that comes down to the last three or four minutes, but it's not fun when you're not winning. We just have to find a way to close them out.
carried check earned game guy team
This is a game when Brendan would have helped. The big guy (Yao) earned his check and he put his team on his back and carried them.
attention
They put a lot of attention on Gilbert,
achilles beginning composure five focused good job keeping last minutes quarter stayed third
Our Achilles has been the beginning of the third quarter and the last five minutes of the game. But we did a good job of keeping our composure today. We stayed focused and stayed positive.
blowing box close games improve instead people three
Rebounding. The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

He'd rather go bowling on a Friday night than go out to the club and party with his boys.
