I'm very, very excited for this opportunity to kind of resurface in the community and the arena that I miss playing in and that I loved so much when I was there.
I need to get some extra work in. Same shots I've been shooting haven't been going.
I needed to get some extra work in. The same shots that I've been shooting just haven't been going in. I think it's just reps. We haven't had that much practice time. I haven't had that much time to work on it, so it's just repetition.
In a strange sort of way, this is probably our best loss of the season. It lets you know we can't coast to the finish line.
I'm not sure what's wrong. They've been able to score points against us early. We give teams that freedom early on and when we try to play lock-down defense it's tough, because they've already got it going.
He's the best (sixth man) in the league. He's better than 90 percent of the league's starters. So (having McDyess is) a luxury, really, for us.
He's the best I've ever worked with. He's helped me so many times. We all have the confidence that Rip is going to be fine, especially with Arnie helping him.
I don't think so. It's going to be a long time before we even possibly see each other (in the conference finals), and even if we do, our records will be 0-0.
I don't know if we can play that much better. We don't need to, though. If we can keep playing like this, that's fine.
I don't know how much better we can play. Things are pretty good right now. If it stays this way, I'll take it.
I don't know. I really don't. I just know how good it is to do it in basketball.
But, you know, they apologized. They didn't mean for it to come out like that. They feel bad about it, and we've moved on.
Honestly, we were successful during the regular season, but that stuff really don't matter anymore. It's 0-0, it's all about Sunday night, 7 o'clock, nothing else really matters. The history really doesn't matter.
He's very skilled. Very skilled. He's got a good opportunity. The only thing that I was ever frustrated with was when he was on the floor and he just looked like he didn't care. He looked a little disinterested. At the same time, I understood that as well because he wasn't getting an opportunity to play.
