For some reason, it put me at peace. We don't know where we're going to be next. And who's to say that the next place we go is greater or lesser than where we are (now). But we're just happy with the current state and not knowing the unknown. For me, it did a lot psychologically. |
From here on out until April, all these games are important. But this was a division game, so it was even bigger. |
Giving up is very easy. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially in a rough environment when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity. |
Good; I can talk some (trash) to him. That's probably the reason he's not returning my phone calls. It makes a lot of sense. |
He has a difficult task on his hands as far as carrying a team but not just carrying it by scoring, ... It's night in, night out making the next guy better, making the guy who is supposedly average, making him better than average. Gilbert can score. The next task will be getting Brendan Haywood, [Jarvis] Hayes, even Jamison, easy shots. Make the game come easy to those guys and make them step the level of their games up. I feel that's the next step for him. |
He has matured so fast. Probably because he's had no choice, given the position that he's in. He had to succeed. He had to be aggressive. It's been learn-as-you-go. He's handled it. He's maturing beautifully, and it's working out. So far, so good. |
He just expressed his thanks for me reaching out to him and being honest with how I felt, and some more personal things. I have a lot of respect for the man. |
He just talked to me briefly, and I could tell right away that we were going to get along. |
He really is something, ... He not only has met all those incredible expectations, he has blown them out of the water. He has built the expectations for the next generation. |
He taught me to keep the guys together. The way you win championships is the chemistry you form with them off the field. |
He was one of the very few people that I enjoyed being around, to tell you the truth, because he was just himself. I had a lot of private conversations about being who we are, being people, not being afraid of making mistakes. |
He was one of the very few people that I enjoyed being around. |
He's definitely into it. Sometimes, he does look a little bewildered, but I don't think passion is in the back seat, so to speak. He's playing with a lot of heart, but at the same time, he's trying to figure it out. |
He's the coach. I do what the coach tells me. I can't even remember the last time I played 24 minutes. My knees are thanking Case at this point. |
I am happy that I can help make a difference in the communities, and blessed to be in the position where I am able to lend support. |
