high move offensive people player scoring sets
He's an offensive player in the sense he sets other people up in the offense. He's not a scoring offensive player with high numbers. ... If you move without the ball, he'll find you.
defense interior liked
I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
couple gave left minutes rest tight
I left him in there too long. I should have gave him a couple minutes rest, but it was such a tight game, I wanted him in there.
affect anybody died hope monkey
I hope that monkey died and doesn't affect anybody else.
coming gesture likes television
I made a gesture coming out of my huddle. And he wanted it. He likes television.
job man prepared sure
I'm sure they'll be prepared for it this time. We just have to do a better job with our man and keep them off balance.
behind crowd depends game home looking maybe
I don't want to see him get another 37 and 15, especially at home where the crowd will get behind him. We're looking at some double-teams, maybe some zone. It depends how the game goes.
bob defend extra guy hard hurt improve matured nights quicker scoring stuff time worked
He's matured as a player. He has worked hard with (associate coach) Bob (Nash) with a lot of extra stuff to try to improve his scoring output. He's called on to defend a smaller, quicker guy most of the time, too. Some nights he got hurt with it, but most of the time he's been good.
coffee fishing hand walking
I can see him right now walking in with his fishing vest, (cup of ) coffee in his hand and a smile. It won't be the same without him.
bring guy hard help works
If every guy who comes back works hard and improves, and if we bring in recruits who can help us right away like we did this year, we'll be fine.
beat blown figured flat good hands nevada
I figured they would come out flat after getting blown out, but they come back and beat a very good Nevada team. Now we know we're going to have our hands full.
problem team year
I'd give it to him because his team is in first place. But I'd have no problem with Millsap getting it either. If there was a year where you could have co-MVPs, this is it.
doubted themselves tougher
It's probably something they needed. They could've doubted themselves (if they had lost). It makes it tougher for us.
affect against altitude key
Conditioning is such a key on the road, especially in altitude like (Reno and Logan). We let it affect us against Nevada. We can't do it again.
