appreciation credit focus game great guys liked scholars-and-scholarship start tremendous
I've got a great appreciation for the focus they've brought. We didn't start off as well as we would've liked in the league. For us to be in the championship game after 0-3 ... it's a tremendous credit for all the guys on this club.
continued couple created difference game half needed played second separation
In the first half we did the things we needed but the game has to be played for 40 minutes. That separation they created in the second half was the difference in the ballgame. We made a couple of mistakes. I didn't think they did anything differently, they just continued to do what they wanted to do.
bench games players preference sat whether
I sat the bench (with the Kings) for I don't know how many games. It is just a coach's preference whether or not they are going to play players or not.
either fans game impact maybe
It was really incidental. It wasn't even a distraction for either team. Maybe the fans and everyone else got excited, but for us, for the most part, it really didn't have any impact on the game at all.
fun game guys watch
I watch the All-Star game every year. It's a fun game and I want to see what the guys are doing. I like to see my friends who are in the game and see how well they do.
defend far game hoped level percentage raised shooting talk
He raised his game to another level as far as his shooting was concerned. We didn't defend him as well as we hoped to, because we talk about shooting percentage and his shooting percentage was pretty good. But again, it was a big game and he responded.
couple exploited front game happened key looked mistakes played
I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.
asking basketball careers extremely fortunate games happy hope paycheck portion win
They've been very fortunate to win a lot of basketball games here. I'm just extremely happy for them. They'll probably be asking me for a portion of my paycheck after their careers are over. I hope y'all acknowledge that I said 'after their careers are over,' so we don't have any problems.
basketball care continues energy eventually game match minutes played size start strength win
Duquesne played with a lot of energy and hustle. We didn't match that energy in the first half. But the game is 40 minutes long. I thought our size and strength eventually would take care of that. If Duquesne continues to play like that they'll start to win some basketball games. They've got a feel of how they want to play.
ended game needed
They did what they had to do. We accomplished what we needed to do, and that's why the game ended up as it did.
bail blocking chance game last line nice quality rely shots
Blocking shots is the last line of defense, you don't want to rely on it. It's nice that he can bail you out, but you don't want to rely on it because it doesn't give him a chance to play the quality game that he can.
arms environment maybe open scholars-and-scholarship welcome
It's not like they welcome you with open arms in that environment, either. This is not really new for us. Maybe we're new to you, but this is not new to us.
execute
They're double- and triple-teaming him and they're bodying him ... and he's consistently been able to execute his game.
detention expansion operations
There's an expansion in the detention operations going on.
