Like I told the guys, we're here now. Might as well go for it all. Continue to play at your high level and we have an opportunity to beat any team in this league.
This was a big win after what we just dealt with. Everybody contributed; everyone made plays.
We had the game. We had it in our pocket and gave it to them. Maybe we were confident. Maybe we thought we were going to win. But it's just an example of how much pride these guys have, especially the opposing team.
From Day 1, my whole priority and my objective is to get these guys into situations where they can get some money out of this game. I'm not going to hold any of 'em back at all.
They're ready. Everybody's playing unselfish basketball, which I've always preached. I envisioned guys playing competitive basketball. I envisioned us doing well coming into the job.
It's always the case when you are up by 30 or so points, to keep up the intensity. Every team has that issue and it's difficult for them to keep the focus up. But we have to learn to punish teams and make a statement. I don't think this will be the last time we do this.
He tried to wait as long as he could for an NBA call-up and continued to turn down different offers (overseas), so I advised him to go ahead and take advantage of this opportunity, then be ready for the NBA camps.
The timing is just awful. But he's waited long enough. I won't hold him back.
I quickly realized this guy can go to the basket with the ball. He plays above the rim. He has big hands and can drive. I began running plays for him so he could play to his strengths and he's shown it.
