He's in a shooting slump. We all know it. If you're a shooter, you have to keep stepping up and (taking) his shot. It's up to me to make the decision to go in another direction during a course of ball game if I feel we're not getting enough from him. He's still busting his butt in other areas. He had good looks from the 3-point line. |
He's quick, athletic, strong, tenacious and hungry. When you have that type of athlete with that kind of killer instinct, it's tough because he's all over the place. You're afraid to drive the basketball because he's back there. |
He's resting comfortably; we'll find out more tomorrow about it. His being in the hospital is precautionary. |
He's so unselfish. Sometimes he's too unselfish. |
He's still got to prove he can earn the minutes. That starts in practice. |
He's the lone ranger since the last time we made it. It's a special thing for Z. He's received a lot, but he's given a lot to the organization. It feels good. |
Here's a guy that's been great for the city, great for the team, great for the organization. He plays about as hard as anybody. You've got to think twice about booing a guy like that. |
His ankle is fine. Whether we were up big, down big, he wasn't playing down the stretch. |
His on-ball defense can get better. His off-ball defense can get better. His defense against the pick-and-roll can get better. Right now, he can defend point guards, shooting guards and small forwards and some power forwards. He may be able to guard some centers. You gotta figure it's all upside with his youth. I believe the sky's the limit. |
Hopefully this will give us a lift in confidence. It gives a little bit of a move up in the standings. |
How Many More Mike Browns Are Out There? |
I always wonder where the obstetrician is supposed to stand, |
I came away with a respect for those people who were so nice to us in spite of losing everything, ... The experience definitely made me appreciate what I have. I just can't imagine losing everything like they did. |
I can't say enough about (James). He makes me look like I can coach. He waved me off so many times, called a play and got us over the hump. I should've just sat down and just let him get his triple-double and coach the team. |
I definitely believe he deserves to be in the All-Star game. He's worked his tail off on both ends of the floor. |
