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.
except great maybe miami rare team teams three
They are the rare team that has three great players. Most teams have two - except Miami maybe has 2 1/2 with Shaq and Wade.
ball found game great guys kept moving open swing trap until won
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement.
action believe great guys job stuff title
I want these guys to be great players, I really do, but I also want them to be professional. I don't know if that comes into my job title or not, but I believe it does. So when that stuff happens, you have to take an action that you don't really want to take.
floor great middle player shot sideline stay
I wanted him to stay more in the middle of the floor because we thought if he went to the sideline they would be able to double. And they actually did, and he still got the shot off. That was just a great player making a great shot.
great player wait
That was such a great game. As a player I couldn't wait to play it.
control fight good great happen jersey kept nice took win
That was a great win for us. We had control of it at times, but you know New Jersey is going to fight back because they are so talented. I thought it was nice that when they did fight back, and took the lead, we kept our composure. We kept fighting, and good things happen when you do that.
great lesson month past proved shake three together
It's a great lesson for us. We can play with this team. We've proved that. But they've been through so much in the past three years, they can't be shaken. We've been together for one month and things shake us.
game glass great needed ryan terror win work
Ryan has been great for us and he's just a terror on the backboard. Not only did we need his glass work but we needed his quickness. Without Ryan Gomes, we don't win this game tonight.
came fact great knew played run together trusted
It came down to the fact that they've been together and they trusted each other. They made a run and they played great defense. You knew they were going to do that.
aggressive ball couple felt friday great guys hit job quick react reacting score tried
Ryan's been great. I still want him to be more aggressive on the post. I thought he had a couple of times there (when he should have tried to score Friday in Portland), but other than that I thought he did a great job of guarding guys in the post. He is quick to react to the ball. There were times I felt he was reacting to the ball before it hit the rim.
benefit given great hope legs next number year
He's given us great hope and he's given us great confidence. I didn't see this out of him this year. I just thought it would take next year before he got his legs under him. Benefit number one is his health.
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.
danny five games last page six teaching
These last five or six games are tough, and like I told Danny (Ainge), I don't know what to do. But this is nothing I want to go through again. Me and Danny are on the same page about this, though. We have to keep teaching the young guys.
