darn good
I just think he's a darn good prospect, ... He's only going to get better.
equate guys money worry
I don't worry about what guys make. You worry about the contribution they make to your team. That's the thing that's most important. Because guys are making a lot of money doesn't always equate to wins.
forget looks people
He looks so much better physically. A lot of people forget that when he was thinner, he had a lot of skills.
comments good love
I love Tony. He's a good friend. I'm not going to make any comments on what he said. That's not my place.
aware shoot
I wasn't aware how well he could shoot the ball, ... He can really shoot it.
beats guys help nobody
I'm mad, ... But that's my responsibility. I've got to get guys to play the right way. But I see a two-on-one break, and we don't make a pass. Defensively, a guy beats us and there's nobody there to help out.
far games gotten played
He's gotten better each game. Of all the games that he's played this year, this is by far the best.
shut
It's not something where we'll have to shut him down.
hopeful
They got him in a splint, he's hopeful he'll be back.
supposed
That's fun. That's the way we're supposed to play.
talked tells
I've talked to him and he tells me he's going to be all right.
position
They were exhausted, that was one thing. And two, I didn't want to put them in that position yet.
foul guys recall three
I don't recall the play. We would never foul if we were down three points. I wanted our guys to go for steals.
cheering good improved kid people player please team
He's the most improved player I think I've ever coached, and he's as good a kid as I've ever been around. He does things for our team to please me to a fault, but you get enough like that and we'll have some people cheering for us.
