I'm proud of my guys for hanging in there. I leave here encouraged, playing in this environment, with that group of guards.
easier football guys nine post stick year
It makes everyone better. It's like in football -- if all you can do is run, they just stick nine guys in the box. This year we have a perimeter and a post attack. It's a lot easier to watch.
area game good guys last lift reason talent team unique wants whatever year
He can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better last year in Chicago, he wouldn't even be in college. There's a reason why he was in Chicago. He's a pro. Whatever team he's on, he automatically is going to lift that team to a different level. He's a unique talent with his length. Guys that athletic, guys that long usually aren't that good of 3-point shooters. But there's no area of the game that he's not good at.

Brandon can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better in Chicago (NBA pre-draft camp), he wouldn't be here. He's a pro. There's a reason he was in Chicago. Guys that athletic and guys that long usually aren't three-point shooters. But there's no area he's not good at.

country group hearts instead kids missed playing taken team teams usa
He was in a group that could have made it or not made it. But I said there's no way we're going out of this country playing on a team without P.J. Tucker. That's one of the things the USA teams have missed in the past. We've taken cookie-cutter kids instead of kids with big hearts who know how to win.
happy
I'm happy with the win, but disappointed with the effort.

I just think for us to be the best we can be, Terrell has to be able to score, too. I'd like to pitch it up to him in transition so he can attack the basket then, and that's when Chris comes into play.
