game
This game was ours. We did all the right things.
blew last point prove winning
They have a point to prove to a lot of people, and they go out to prove that every night. They feel like they blew one last year, and the only way to prove that point is by winning it again.
everybody great job pitch
With Wally going out, everybody had to just pitch in. Everyone did a great job of it.
absolutely knew paul realize
Paul was absolutely sensational tonight. I didn't realize they had 50 and 43. I knew they had a lot. I could sense that. I just didn't know it was that high. Pretty cool.
effort gave paul rather superhuman
Paul gave a superhuman effort for us to get back in this game. You'd rather have a balance, but I'd take 40 from Paul.
execution happy teach using
I was really happy with our young guys. I was really using it (the game) to try to teach execution to the young guys.
paul played playing shots sure
We have to make sure that Wally and Paul have shots at the end of the game. I'm disappointed in the loss. We played hard, but we're not playing smart.
complete
I just don't get it. He was a complete player.
drive hands intentions office played playing ran ready reason saying shoes starting time
I had no intentions of playing him. I didn't think he wanted to play. But he ran into my office with his shoes in his hands saying he was ready to go. The only reason I played him was because he was starting at me every freaking time out. I told the coaches, we have to put him in, or he's going to drive me nuts.
surprised
I'm hoping. Let me put it this way. I would be surprised if it didn't go that way every night.
bet care changes hate league next start takes time tough turn
If you make a lot of changes in this league and even if they can play, it takes time for it to work. Then when you start losing, the snowball starts. I don't care who you are, it's tough to turn around. I would hate to see them next year, even if they make no changes. I would bet you that they'd be much better.
drive guy stared
He stared at me every freaking timeout. And I told our coaches, 'We've got to put this guy in or he's going to drive me nuts.' Honestly, that's why I put him in.
basically body couple engaged good half language mark season summer system talked
He's just been engaged. We've been engaged with him. Mark and I, we've had a couple of good conversations this summer one right before the season started. We basically talked about a lot of things. I told him on my half I will just try to communicate better, but on his half the body language and all the other things have to be better. And if we were in a grading system he'd be an A-plus.
deserved stretch ton win
I don't know if we actually deserved to win. But I did think we had just a ton of opportunities down the stretch to win that game.
