acted call felt happened later learned man saw terrible threatened time touch wife witnessed
I witnessed my wife being threatened by a man that I learned later to be intoxicated. I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn't react. There was no time to call security. It happened too quickly.
bit dressed embrace fight good guys hopefully impose reaction realize start
I think anything you impose on players, the first reaction is going to be, 'Nah, I don't want to do that,' ... We fight a little bit about change. But in the end, when it all settles, and you start to realize why, and guys will come in and they'll feel good about how they're dressed and things like that, hopefully they'll start to embrace it.
larry team younger
Larry and Isiah, they need to get on the same page. Is the team going younger or older? What are they doing? Where's the team going?
choice larry work
We don't have a choice. Larry won't let you play if you don't work on D.
concerns guys speak talk union voice wrong
We don't feel we have dissension. I just feel they have another opinion. We say come in and talk about it. We need those guys to voice their concerns -- what's right and what's wrong -- not only to speak out in the media. This is their union too.
job ready tonight understand
You have to come in and be ready to play basketball. I'm just going to keep working because I have to do a better job than I did tonight and I understand that.
coat exactly fair nice seen sports
I don't think it's fair for them to tell you exactly how to dress. You can't say no jeans. I've seen businessmen in jeans, a sports coat and nice shirt, and you say that's classy.
great hard heart
He's doing great under the circumstances. He's working hard and hasn't had any heart problems.
effort hopefully lead next rub time trying
Right now, I'm just trying to lead by example. If I can go out there and show effort each and every time up and down the floor, defensively, offensively, hopefully it will rub off on the next guy.
complacent far good guys sitting trying
The thing that I like so far is that guys care. Nobody's sitting and being complacent with what's going on. I think everybody's fighting, trying to make it better. So that's a good sign.
issue
this is not an issue in my household.
good left people stand worry
They have a right to feel how they feel. Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
thinking would-be finals
I've never had a chance to go to the Finals, and I don't have a ring - and that would be the only thing that would get me to think about it.
worry people like-you
Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
