He?s got a lot more years left, and he?s going to get better. |
He's a complete player, |
He's always said that he would love to someday play in Toronto, and that's understandable. That's his hometown. But he's never come in here with a bad attitude. He's been a true professional every single day. He knows this is where he's going to be playing for the time being, and he's giving us 100 percent. |
He's going to have to really grasp it a lot quicker. He seems to have some trouble with it. But once he gets there, I think he's going to be pretty good. |
He's just a great little player. He's got a lot of heart. We knew the triple double would come sooner than later, but obviously tonight we really needed it. I thought he really came through big time. |
He's just a very competitive young man who wants to play. |
He's not playing tonight. I just ran into him in the hallway and he said he'll be ready at halftime. But that's just Chris being Chris. |
He's playing really well. He's in a groove right now and is playing more comfortable. I told him with the way he's shooting the ball, I need to find ways to get him the ball more. |
He's really good. He's gotten better each month and he knows we expect a lot from him, and he expects a lot from himself. I don't think anybody could envision him playing this well this early, but now that we see how good he can be, we continue to try and push it. |
Hopefully Saturday we'll be pretty much full strength. We'll have some bumps and bruises. Those guys won't be at 100 percent probably, but they'll be in uniform and ready to play. |
Hopefully this is something that will be uplifting and bring happiness to the fans that come to the game and cheer us on. |
Hopefully, one of them will be back soon - soon being Friday, It puts a lot more emphasis on guys to play a lot more minutes. But that's pro basketball. You've got to be ready to play. |
I can't wait to get him back. Our second unit needs that point guard, needs a guy like Speedy in there. |
I didn't think in the first half we were here. We were just kind of out there going through the motions and at halftime I wasn't very happy. Much better effort in the second half and we got the win. |
I don't know what our record is going against him. I know in Jersey my second and third years, we had a good team. But that doesn't matter. He's still a great coach. |
