die everywhere fans felt game giving heart situation watch
I die every game that any of our fans has to watch or (Dolan) has to watch. Hey, everywhere I've been, every place I've ever coached, I always felt we were getting better. I've never been in a situation where I didn't know in my heart we weren't getting better. And I'm not giving up here.
played
I put him in to see if he would play like he belonged. He played like he was insulted.
magic time won
His first time ever in the playoffs, Magic (Johnson) won a championship.
fault guy
His daughter's sick. I don't think you can fault a guy for that.
aware basketball careers great guys history hockey later means older players realize sure teams until
I think a lot of the young players in basketball are not aware of what some of the older players in basketball have done, what they went through, and their accomplishments. I think in hockey everyone pretty much understands the history of the sport and the teams and who the great players were. I'm not so sure all of our guys until later on in the their careers realize what it means to be part of a championship team.
suit tried
I tried to get him to suit up.
field four kept man played run six three
He was phenomenal. I kept (Curry) in with four fouls and we made a little run and then boom, he's out of the game. No blocks, six fouls, three turnovers, no assists, two-for-seven from the field and his man played with unbelievable energy.
attacked boards gave guy helped needed second stay
I really think he's the guy who helped us stay in this game. He attacked the boards when he needed to and gave us some second chances.
enjoying guys happy help realize seen team trying
I hadn't had too many guys that didn't realize you're trying to help them and make them better. You want to be fair. I've never seen a happy team losing. If you're happy and enjoying it you should be doing something else.
arenas assist guy hard indicative leading points pressure ran team
Hopefully, he'll be all right. If not will have a little more pressure on him, and Jamal will have to play. It's hard for him right now. He doesn't know any plays. Not that we ran any the first half. But Arenas was phenomenal, getting 46 points in 30 minutes. What's indicative of our team is Malik was the leading assist guy with three. We had 28 turnovers.
audition guys stuff
I know what we have. You guys know what we have. There's no audition. That audition stuff has been over a long time.
process time understand
I think we just sometimes don't understand how we get leads, and time and score. We're just young and this is the process you've got to live with.
child finer gets poster
He just gets better and better, and you won't find a finer kid. He should be a poster child for our league.
beaten shared
It was like the JV and the varsity. I think they could've beaten us by 50 the way they executed and shared the ball.
