absolutely crucial means miss sudden trouble
We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don't have him, it means you have to adjust. We're having trouble adjusting.
goal
We're confident. Our goal was to get one of these (first) two (games in Cleveland). We got one and they come to us.

Lute Olson teaches the NBA system. If you look at his players, they may not be dominant in college but they're going to make a bigger impact in the NBA just because of the way they play up and down. Players learn and develop and make mistakes and learn for themselves.
grudge hold hopes pain pick
That pain from the Celtics is still in my blood. When they said they'd pick me with the 10th or 11th pick, they got my hopes all high. I usually hold a grudge for that.

You see the pictures ... But you didn't get to know who they were.
showing
They are better than what they are showing now.
areas defense growing hard serious start summer teammates worked year
It's about growing up and that's one of the areas where I have to grow up in. I worked hard this summer on all of my abilities and that's one of them. I'm going to take defense very serious this year and if I start slacking off, I have teammates who will keep me into it.

It hurts. No one wants to lose a game where you fought so hard, especially with a charging call at the end.

He did good, but we teased him in the second half when he got barbecued.
third toward weird win
It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.
rookie
He's going to be an All-Star quickly. He's my rookie of the year.
couple hopefully
I went through that play a couple of times in my head, what I should've done. You always do that. But it's going to be another game, and hopefully it doesn't go down to the wire.
likely
It's up to Coach. Most likely I'll start.
