I've just been watching him all year. He's had phenomenal nights, phenomenal shooting nights. He had it going and the fact is it's hard to guard a lot of these perimeter guards. |
I've never coached that way, where we've never had a set rotation, except my first year in San Antonio, we had a lot of injuries. That's really hurt the team. It hurts your progress. All of a sudden, we settled on David at the three and we have the three-guard rotation for the most part. It helps everybody, I think. |
I've never talked anything about being a systems coach in my life. I've been a basketball coach, about guys playing the right way. That's always been what I've said. It's amazing to me the guys that have wanted to do it have really prospered. |
I've read everything Harry Crews has ever published. I reckon all of his novels and even his first story, which was published in about 1963. |
I've said this over and over again. ... You defend, you rebound, you share the ball. That's going to determine how much you play. That's the way we're going to have to reward guys, because we're not fighting for the playoffs here. |
I've spoken to you after 28 games, and there was one game I was disappointed and I said that. Everybody makes a big deal (about it), I coached him (Marbury) for the next two days just like I always coached him. He's done what I asked and tries to win the game. |
I've talked to him and he tells me he's going to be all right. |
I've watched him forever. I very rarely see him smile or get excited. I'd love to see that. I don't know if that's his nature. I've commented to him numerous times that when things are going bad we have to have him with good body language. |
If a citizen does not like the performance of an elected official, he or she votes against the official in the next election. That is the political process. |
If Boston keeps playing the way they?re playing, we?re going to have to play our best [to beat them], |
If he gets hurt, it's going to be painful for a while. |
If I had my druthers, at my age I would rather be with a more established team, ... But this is fun. I enjoy coaching. It's probably a much different challenge than I've had recently, but that's OK. |

If I saw him go up there, if I'd have known what was happening, I probably would have went up there with him. |
If I thought we were disorganized I would have called a timeout. He just made a great play. |
