locker needed
With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.
cares difficult guys looking season situations team
Right now, you're looking for guys that you want to keep. Because this is the most difficult part of a season for a team that is not going anywhere, and you can really tell who cares in situations like this.
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.
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.
felt guy himself knowing looking looks loves perfect point special wants
I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad.
court gets great guys looks nba needs
He's a great official. It's great for the game. He still looks young and he gets up and down the court as well as anybody. The NBA needs guys like him.
equate guys money
Because guys are making a lot of money doesn't always equate to wins.
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.
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.
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.
