He has to be seen to be appreciated. He's such a talented player. |
I hate to compare this team with last year's, but it's a one-and-done tournament. We're a very unselfish team, and that's really helped us. |
It was hard not to be excited by his return. Nick brings so much defensive intensity, and he changes the way we play the game. He always guards the opponent's best player, unless it's a (center). |
Normally we like to go at noon and get it done. But we were going at 3:30, so that Nick could join us. |
Sean and I butted heads quite a bit. I'm pretty strong-willed and competitive and so was he. He had a hard time adjusting to not playing a lot, and his frustration came out in ways he probably didn't want it to. |
The game was physical. That set the tone for how the game was going to be played. We couldn't get to the basket and do what we wanted to do. |
