continuing good hard job keeping team together train veteran
He's done a good job of going in there and keeping it together and continuing to train - which is hard to do sometimes. Especially when you have a veteran team like that . . . that's used to doing things their way.
effort good hit ray shots stretch tough until
I thought we had a good effort until about a two-minute stretch when Ray (Allen) just went crazy. He hit some tough shots and some tough threes.
competition continues good job lose point team wrong
Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.
days fight good lost spirited
I've said this all along; I do want to play Marko. And Marko has had two good days of spirited practice. He's got that fight back. He's got that spirit back that I liked. I thought he lost that.
coaching good great players whether
From a coaching standpoint, I would say I would like to have other players involved. He's a great player, you can't take that away from him. It's entertaining, it's good for the league. Whether it's good for his teammates, I don't know.

Rashad did a very good job for us, running the break, shooting the three, spotting up. I've said this for a couple weeks - he's really improving.
good job passion playing
He's doing a very good job of playing under control. He's got his passion back.
decide dilemma fred front good nba office trying wants whether
I think right now Fred is just trying to decide what he wants to do, whether he wants to coach, be in the front office or play. I think he could do all three. He still can make shots. He's very knowledgeable of the NBA to be in the front office or to be a coach. It's a good dilemma to have.
applause deserves flip good heart matter soul thank
Flip deserves it. You give your heart and soul to an organization for 10 years, and you deserve applause and a thank you. No matter how it ended, it was a good ride.
good guard point stretch super
Decision-making down the stretch is so huge. Marcus is going to be a super point guard in this league. You have to take his good with his bad.
below chance fair games gave good starting
Marko had 40-something games to get it done, and we were below .500. I feel very good that I gave Marko more than a fair chance with the starting position.
boards defensive hard offensive run
It's hard to run out when you don't get defensive stops. They got so many offensive boards that it slowed down our momentum.
execute mentally
It's not really who you play; it's us. It's how we mentally prepare. It's how we execute offensively. It's how we execute defensively more so than who the other (team) is.
sees somebody
If he sees somebody open, he's going to make the pass. He's very unselfish, which is what you want in your superstar.
