It's all about making shots. The key to a Game 7 for a coach is to treat it like any other game. |
It's been a great series. It's a great opportunity for both teams, ... The reward is incredible. |
It's been a struggle. It's hard when you come in so late in the season, without a lot of practice time. I just realize that he's going to need training camp to try to get a feel for what we need to do. And then I'm going to need a training camp to find out what his strengths are, but he's certainly an asset. |
It's great having him back. We've missed him. |
It's hard with Stevie because he's not aware of any of the [plays]. [Plus], if you get in foul trouble, you're turning the ball over, you're having trouble getting stops, how would you play? |
It's imperative that your better players bring it every night. I don't think there's any way to be successful in this league with just young kids. You need veteran leadership. Sometimes it comes from guys who don't play, but for the most part it has to come from the guys that are the key players. |
It's important both teams get better. If you look at what Boston meant to our league, every game they played was a huge rivalry. |
It's important to me that you give something back to our sport, ... and people here understand the right way to play. |
It's killing me because I'm the coach and I've got the responsibility to make the team play better. Obviously, we're not getting better. We didn't compete with New Jersey. They dominated every area. |
It's not going to be as bad. The wind will be a lot lower. |
It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do. |
It's not something where we'll have to shut him down. |
It's odd when you see a big-name player (on the market), but I'm not worried about that until I see the guy on our team. I've got to think about how I can make these young guys better. |
It's over, in my mind. My whole focus is that I've got 12 guys that suit up and 15 guys on the team, and we have to try to get better. |
It's so special when guys spend their whole career with one team. (Reggie) still looks like he can play to me. I think everybody used to say that physically he wouldn't hold up. He's amazing. He's the best shooter I've ever been around. |
