If they hadn't been treated so badly under the last administration, there wouldn't have been such a push for this, |
If you want to play really good defense, you have to have some defensive-minded guys. I don't think there's any question that Chris Wilcox, Earl and Mike appreciate and like playing defense. When you get guys like that, normally your defense will get better. |
In Earl, we get a proven point guard. He has great quickness and can control the tempo of the game. |
In Luke's case, he's scared. He's a baby. He wants to be something. |
It could be fatigue. We all know it's been a long year. Ray Allen still amazes me. He's playing really hard. He competed his heart out, he just couldn't get the ball in the basket. |
It feels really good. I'm really proud of (the team) and they responded from day one. ... It's really important that we get better every night and we did tonight. |
It was a tough night. We stunk it up. |
It was great. It was like a place revisited in my life. And I think the first quarter, it took me a quarter to kind of feel as comfortable as I should. Then once I got that first quarter over with, it was great. |
It was huge. He's got a lot of courage. |
It was ugly. It was just ugly. |
It wasn't a get-back [game]. Neither team is going to the playoffs. It was just two teams playing hard and not playing for anything. ... It's not about getting them back, necessarily. It's just about they got us pretty good, now we owe them one. It's just the way the league is. |
It'll be more experience for him. He's aggressive. He's the first to ask a question if there's something he doesn't understand. It'll be good to have him around. |
It's a chance to have a real insight into a true coastal community that depends entirely on the ocean for their livelihood and as well as for food gathering. |
It's a very, very good win for us. I hope it's a breakthrough win for us, and we can build from this. |
It's amazing what a little chemistry will do for you. This group likes one another. They deserve a game like this after everything they've been through. |
