early good
He's been fantastic. Early in the year, there's no way we put him on the floor. Offensively he's been pretty good all year. But now, he understands how to get his shot.
eat feeling looks talking tough
He's doing much better. He looks great. He's feeling better. He's talking more. We've got to get him to eat and all that stuff, but at 88, it would probably be tough to get me to eat, too.
coach guy loves numbers opened people trade
He was kind of a throw-in guy in the trade to make the numbers work, but he has come in here and opened my eyes. Our big-man coach loves him, loves all the little things he does. He's a banger. He's physical. We need that. He's going to make it very interesting. I think he's already making people uncomfortable.
figure hurt tried warming
When he tried to go, he hurt it warming up before the game. We're really short-handed at that position, we're going to have to try to figure out something if he's going to be out.
beat cause contact dribble force foul hand hands helping shot
Because they go pick-and-roll we wanted to go man-to-man on them and force them to beat us off the dribble or make a shot with a hand in their face. I didn't want them to go to the bucket, cause contact (from a helping big man), and put it in someone else's hands to let them do it at the foul line.
loved saving
I loved it. He was saving his money.
art beautiful draw game
I do not think you are going to draw art from this game at all. It was not a beautiful game in any way.
basketball giving good great hope keeps near team
He's a great scorer every night. It's the other things that he's done for this team that just keeps giving us hope that . . . with the things that we can add, we can be a good basketball team in the near future.
hurting move positive team worried year
He just wasn't responding. He couldn't move out on the floor. He was hurting the team and he was hurting himself. I was worried about the confidence. At the end of the year the one thing I try to protect, especially with our young guys, is going into the (summer) with a positive feeling.
actions louder obviously speak
He's back. We had another talk. It went well, but actions obviously speak louder than words.
I did go to school. I did do math, a little bit, and I do know that it's not good.
imagine knew second shooting
I can't imagine shooting like that, but I didn't give it a second thought because I knew he could play,
decision far
This was by far the worst, the toughest. I'll second-guess every decision I made, and everything we did.
game needed team throwback win
This was an important win for us. In our standards, this was like a throwback game defensively. So, it was what we needed. I think this team needed this win.
