obviously pain seemed wants
He seemed like he was in some pain and obviously disappointed because he wants to play.
good knock looking needs obviously shoot shots
He's a very, very good passer and he can shoot the ball. He needs to knock down perimeter shots for us consistently. That's obviously something that we're looking for right now.
obviously
I don't even know what I was thinking. Obviously I wasn't in my right mind.

Shaquille obviously looked rusty offensively. But he looked very good on the defensive glass, and he was more active defensively than he was for big parts of last year.
extremely goes obviously talented team year
I obviously don't know the team here, but I know they're young, I know they're offensively extremely talented ... I think the team will get better as the year goes on.

I saw your face on the sticks on Pardon the Interruption . That's big.

Our system is a little different than what some of (the new players) are used to, and what we're asking them to have an emphasis on is a little bit different than what they're used to. But they're working hard at it.
bit expectation figured low measure question team
The expectation question is a little bit overdone. I think I've got it figured out. If the expectations for your team are high, and you don't measure up, you get fired. If the expectations are low and you lose, you get fired.
gone
To be doing all of this with what he's gone through physically, I'll never get over it. It's phenomenal.
believe next
We believe we're going to be in the next series, too.
certainly
We'll see if we can make some adjustments, but we're certainly not going to panic.
easier expect game guys higher
I expect those two guys to play at even a higher level, because I think we've got some guys that can also make the game a little easier for them.
