anybody career coaching extremely fights guys hard larry life loves martin needs plays rookies stage though time veteran wars
Even though (Brown) loves the rookies he has - because they play extremely hard and he loves anybody who plays hard and plays right - he is at the stage of his coaching career and life where he needs veteran players. Larry loves guys who have been in fights and wars and know what to do every time they're out on the court. That's why I think he'd love to get a guy like Kenyon Martin .
beat best bit came care doubt looking past struggling team teams took toughest
No doubt about it. That team is one of the best teams in the West. They've been struggling a little bit but that's when it's toughest to play teams, when they're struggling. They're looking to get back right and what better team to beat than us? We didn't look past that team, came out and took care of business.
care degree few last pride taken time toward
Also, a part of this whole thing will be me getting my degree and working toward that, which I take a lot of pride in -- obviously, I haven't taken enough pride in over these last few years, but it's time for me to buckle down and get that taken care of, too.
anyone cares gets nobody playing winning
Nobody cares who gets the glory. We just care about winning and playing for each other, not anyone else.
care court focusing healthy home stay
That's what we're focusing on, just keep it moving. Keep moving, try to take care of home court and stay healthy in the process.
career coaching needs push stage step time veterans work
I still think they'll be all right. I don't know how it will work out this year. But they've all got to be patient. I think he will push to get more veterans in. Right now, at this stage of his coaching career and life, he needs veterans who have been in the grind, who have been in the wars, who know how to play and what to do every time they step on the floor.
friend good larry six took
He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.
nba regular run sets takes team
It takes a while -- a long time, because we have so many different sets, options. It's not just the regular old sets that every NBA team runs. We run a lot of stuff. It's kind of complicated.
conference possibly records time
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.
explain game happened talk wish
I just wish that we had something where like after the game I got to talk about what happened down the stretch, why I did this or that. I wish we had something where the refs had to do it and explain what happened and why they did this and that. It just ain't fair, man.
kept rip thirsty
I don't know what Rip was doing, but he was hot, so I just kept going to him. He was thirsty today.
extra needed practice shooting shots time work
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.
extra shooting shots work
I need to get some extra work in. Same shots I've been shooting haven't been going.
stay stops sure trying
I wanted him to stay in. Just keep trying to make them. We were going to try and make sure we got stops on the other end. We have each others' back anyway.
