A lot of people do illegal stuff. I had no problem with those guys rushing the floor. It's an emotional game. They wanted to win. They had their little pep rally and they came out and got the job done, bottom line. We can't be mad if they rush the floor if they win. We should have taken care of business and not even given them a chance to do that. |
Al has always been able to do that. But sometimes, Al doesn't play like Al. |
Chris is a huge part of our offense. One person can't stop Chris. He's too big, strong and athletic. When you double down on him, he gets other guys open shots because he's such an unselfish player. |
Chris was a monster for us today. |
Confidence is never a problem. We're a very good basketball team. We know what we need to correct to make things happen. |
Earlier in the year, that's how they beat us, being more physical than we were. That was an emphasis in practice this week, that we weren't going to be pushed around; that we could be just as physical as they were. It worked. |
Everybody expressed their opinions. We said what we had to say. It's worked. |
Except for one year when we were on the bubble, we've been in the exact same spot. One or two in the East [division], top three in our league. This is nothing different. |
Glen Davis is a big dude. He's a tremendous athlete and goes to the boards hard. He does everything well. |
He doesn't shoot enough. Literally, Lee could shoot the ball every time he touches it, and I wouldn't care. But he's just not that type of guy. If Lee has an open shot, and someone has a better shot, he's going to get rid of it. But I'd rather see Lee shoot the ball. |
He used to destroy us (with) three-hour practices. We would spend hours killing each other before games. |
He used to destroy us the whole year. |
He was explaining to me there was a dip in the road and he just fell off the bike. I saw scrapes on his shoulders and a knot, but I didn't think too much of it. . . . He hurt himself going through the things he does every day, so I would think that would be more frustrating than anything. |
He was in a cold sweat, stumbling for words. But I'm happy for the kid. Most people don't get to meet their idols. |
He's got twinkle toes down there. He's very limber, very agile, has great feet, finishes well with either hand with an incredible soft touch for his size. |
