His three-point shooting is a big plus. He can stretch the floor and pull up in transition. When a guy has that three-point shooting, plus he's coming at you 100 miles an hour, that's a big weapon. |
Howard is going to be a great player in this league. Kevin already is a great player. Kevin knows all the tricks of the trade. Dwight will someday be there, but Kevin is still above him. |
I asked him one time why he didn't go to Kentucky. He said it's not a football school. |
I asked Justin Reed if anyone had ever run an 'iso' for him in Boston, and he said no. We ran an 'iso' for him and he almost missed the whole goal he was so open. Those things you go through and hope the young guys build on that. |
I can see a difference in him. In training camp, it was like he was a little lost. Now, he's playing with confidence and like he belongs. |
I challenge anyone to look at any other staff and see who works harder than the staff we have. |
I designed the play for Bracey Wright and Justin. Marcus kept it because his man jumped to the side. |
I don't differentiate between Orlando, Miami, nobody. We've got tough games coming up the rest of the season. We have to prepare and play at the level we know we're capable of, which I didn't think we did the other night against Orlando. |
I don't think he alone will let anyone on this team give up. |
I don't think the commissioner had any race intentions whatsoever with the new dress code. I just think he's trying to improve the image. |
I don't think they blew by us once in a pick-and-roll situation. Where in the past couple games, they've had a smorgasbord, tonight he did an excellent job of containing that, stopping that and really executing our defensive schemes. |
I don't think they blew by us once on those mid-pick-and-rolls. The past couple games, they've had a smorgasbord. |
I feel for Fred. He's like the little kid that wants to go in the party and play but can't. I told Fred I wish we hadn't amnestied him. ... I'm sure he's going to have a long line of people after him. |
I felt for him, just because he's one of my players and he's going through a tough situation. I didn't judge him, saying, 'He's a bad guy. Let's get rid of him.' No I didn't. |
I have nothing but respect for Kevin and Glen. They've been fair with me, honest, and that's all you can ask. It's their evaluation; that's life in the NBA. |
