I think that for whatever reason we think that we can coast to the finish line, and not do what we have done all season.

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 .
