His daughter's sick. I don't think you can fault a guy for that. |
His first time ever in the playoffs, Magic (Johnson) won a championship. |
Hold up, hold up |
Hopefully I can be careful with him and rest him. |
Hopefully, he'll be all right. If not will have a little more pressure on him, and Jamal will have to play. It's hard for him right now. He doesn't know any plays. Not that we ran any the first half. But Arenas was phenomenal, getting 46 points in 30 minutes. What's indicative of our team is Malik was the leading assist guy with three. We had 28 turnovers. |
I admire and respect him, but I have that feeling for anybody that sits down at that end. But you realize what he's done and that's pretty special. |
I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad. |
I am pretty excited about Nate Robinson — he can flat-out play and wants to learn. Nate does not appear small because he's so athletic and he has already made our team better. |
I can understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson and [commissioner] David Stern in the same situation and see how they would react. I think he looked up and saw his wife struggling and thought it was the right thing to do. |
I can't coach anymore. I want to run a team. |
I could understand the league's point of view, but I'd like to put Stu Jackson or David Stern or one of those guys in that situation and see how they would have reacted. I'm amazed at the restraint he had. |
I did it with Rip ( Richard Hamilton ), Eric Snow . How many times do you get to see your team? And he's so current. He played with all those guys. |
I didn't curse him. I hadn't talked to him the whole game. Obviously he thought I went over the line and that's his prerogative. Those things happen. It's the first game I got kicked out. |
I didn't hear what he said and really don't care. |
I didn't look at it as a bad thing. I put him back in the game (with 18 seconds left) to have him guard. I don't mind that; I envy that. |
