[They not only win big; they seem to do it without any of the negative stuff that crops up everywhere else. No public feuds. No drug busts. No players griping over contracts or swearing at fans.] That's just the way it is here, ... We've got a good group of guys. |
All the basketball players in the city, the NBA guys, the coaches, everybody told me to go see Herb. He's shaped the games of so many players. |
All this stuff, we can't really worry about it. If we get better and keep getting better the rest of the year, that's our ultimate goal. |
As well as being unfamiliar with one another, they're unfamiliar with the offense and their roles, ... So that's going to lead to a little bit of chaos early on, but we'll get it together. |
But, you know, this is America . . . I just don't really care for it. |
Coach has been leaning on me all season. He's been depending on me to do a lot and I haven't been able to hold up my end of the bargain. I'm just glad these last couple of weeks I've been able to do some positive things. |
He has so much potential. Sometimes he doesn't realize that we go as he goes. He's such a nice kid. I wish I could slap him before each quarter. He has to get some type of edge, some type of fire. |
He, like the rest of us, has a lot of things going on. He's in a position of power, he's the head coach, and ultimately he takes a lot of the blame for what happened this season. But he has a lot of decisions to make, just like a lot of guys on the team have a lot of decisions to make. I'm waiting to see what happens. |
He's been really gaining confidence as of late, and it's looking good. He's out there playing well. He's moving defensively, he's hitting that shot, he's spreading the floor and he's scoring inside. He's finishing. So it's making him really, really dangerous. |
He's just one of the most mentally tough players I've ever seen. |
I came from a winning situation and I've seen it done the right way. I've seen the sun shining, so I know every day shouldn't be rainy. Maybe some of the other guys haven't seen the sun shining and they don't really know what they're missing. |
I can?t explain it. I really don?t know what?s going on. |
I don't know why that is. |
I don't tend to dwell on that too much. I'm starting to feel good, as far as confidence is concerned, but I'm just hoping things can keep going. |
I don't worry much but I'm starting to worry a little. |
