consistent count guy played veteran
He played like a veteran tonight. He's the most consistent guy we have. That's what we count on him for.
But I'm going to let him make the decision.
court home
I feel a little guilty. That was a real home court for us.
coming decide deep enthusiasm excited goal goes hoping looks matched slow time toward
I don't want to slow him down at all right now because he's excited about the possibility of coming back. I know he looks at it as his goal and I don't want to take away his dream. And if he does decide to play, I'm going to let him. I'm hoping as time goes on, his enthusiasm is matched with some deep thinking, which I think it will be, and then we look more toward the future.
I don't think this is anything we don't think we can overcome.
serious
He's got a serious injury, but he's doing OK. He's being evaluated right now. That's really all we can say.
feet reason understand watch
For some reason in the first half, it was like our feet were frozen. I've got to watch the film to understand it.
born four guards necessity
If I had four guards like this again, I would do it. But this was really born out of necessity.
both definitely gay impact key leadership parallel senior teams williams
I definitely see the comparison. Both teams had key senior leadership and I can see the parallel between Rudy Gay and Marvin Williams and the impact that each has. I had never really thought about this before, but I definitely see it.
both leadership
I can't tell them apart. They both do the same things every play and that's where our leadership comes from.
black looks poked
It's unbelievable. If you look at him, he doesn't even have a black eye. He just looks like someone who got poked in the eye. It's a little watery, but it's not even swollen.
clicked efficient phases
Connecticut was just really sharp; they clicked on everything today. They were more efficient in all phases of the game.
continue
That's really what we've done all year. We just continue to find ways. I don't think we are ever going to be pretty. ... This is who we are.
confidence create good helps team
That's something our team can do because of our depth. I have confidence in our guys, one through twelve, and we have good team quickness. That helps us create turnovers.
