That's basically a lot of the belief I have. Establishing dominance and taking responsibility for it.
I was quite surprised. As far as things happening locally, it's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I was on them a little bit after the game because they were dumping the ball in his lap when he wasn't hot. But I thought they did a good job of milking the clock.
We'd rather have Steve being the guy that's taking the shots and making the points than having a bunch of guys get 20 points or 15 points a game.
We couldn't do anything better that would make this franchise better.
I'll just say that hopefully they've drained the mud out of the building, and the termites aren't going to eat the buildings away in between the time we get down there. They made a good judgment probably to get this back in, and that's the important thing about it.
I know these teams have to have an answer, and it's time for the draft to commence and things to happen. I'll be off the queue here in another day or two.
I think all our players were encouraged by the effort, and thought we had the right idea. Our execution came up a little bit short.
I think our defense was confused at times. There were some defensive lapses, and they have an experienced team, which took advantage of some of our young kids.
I think, obviously, coming back and working with this organization is a remarkable turnaround,
I just think he's a very determined player and dedicated to what he's doing. He's doing a lot of letting things develop on their own.
His confidence grew as we kept going back in to him, and he got more productive from that. I think guys started relying on the fact that he could be counted on to catch the basketball and convert.
I have never seen anything like that. It was pretty impressive.
I'm not the panacea for this basketball club, ... It's going to take plenty of hard work and dedication over the course of the summer to change the face of this team.
