When we didn't turn the ball over, we got some good opportunities. Michael's approach was terrific. He got in little more of a rhythm and made some timely shots.
I could see just from how the players were responding just how much it meant to them.
In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
During a game, having players wear a sport coat is reasonable,
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game. In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
It's a challenge. I want to put players in a position where they can succeed, and obviously, so we can succeed. ... How we do that, that's part of the process of building a team.
He's a great player and he did just what great players do. He was able to keep his confidence in a game where things weren't going his way.
But I did think that Michael was being held and grabbed a lot. I'm just stating what I saw.
It was a competitive scrimmage. We still have a long way to go, but it's reassuring that the work we did this week is showing up a little bit.
It's hard, as much as Rip was holding and grabbing.
Joe is still playing limited minutes and he's still in an adjustment period as far as managing the game. And managing if you want to save his (last) 2 or 3 minutes until the end of the game or not.
I think what this trade does is put us, hopefully, in the forefront of being a playoff team. We want to make the transition easy for Andrew.
I like the way we responded after last night's loss; it was pretty demoralizing. To come back with the energy that that we had tonight was good to see.
Andrew and Jamaal did a fantastic job of rebounding the ball.
