I would love to know how many layups for point-blank looks we missed ... It’s in the teens for sure.
He has the utmost respect for Doc Rivers and the current roster of players ... Allen would relish the opportunity to play in that organization.
Oh absolutely, he is who he is ... He's not going to change.
Twenty-four to two points off of turnovers ... That’s the game right there.
His influence on that team is dramatic
JO gave us a huge lift. He played with great energy.
Hes getting it ... You can see it; its coming. You know, I thought he went on a stretch where he tried to do too much with the ball. And those were turnovers. But I thought he fought Durant. I thought he looked so much better offensively.
I thought we did a lot of good things again, and it’s frustrating
Our turnovers are killing us ... And a lot of the turnovers we’re just trying to will the team, do too much. It’s not like anybody’s being selfish, but the way you win is with execution.
That’s the game right there ... I thought we did a lot of good things again, and it’s frustrating.
This is his team right now until everybody else gets it going
You’re always disappointed when a guy you’ve been to war with goes ... Yeah, you always are. But you also understand the business end of it. That’s what it is.
I don’t ever call it coaching against players, because I can’t go out there and guard him -- I wish I could foul the hell out of him, but I can’t
I don't ever call it coaching against players, because I can't go out there and guard them ... I wish I could foul the hell out of him but I can't. But it is going to be different, and I'm glad it's here and we can get it over with. Because he meant a lot to me.
Removing Perk from our team pulled away some of our armor
That will be different, because Perk’s a Celtic ... I don’t give a crap what uniform he has on — he’s a Celtic for life, and he knows that.
That will be tough for me, that will be different ... Perk's a Celtic -- I don’t give a crap what uniform he has on, he’s a Celtic for life. And he knows that.
Surgery went well ... They're saying it went great. Obviously, our thoughts, our prayers and every part of our being is with Jeff right now.
I'm not going to compare him to the other guys but I think he's one of the top point guards in the NBA ... Rondo has established that. There's a reason (that) whatever this thing leaked out that it's all over the news. It's because the players that they're talking about are both really good. Rondo has e...
I'm just thrilled to be able to do my job again and I am really looking forward to this season ... You've just been kind of in a holding pattern to get started -- obviously, in Danny's case, trying to fill out the right roster for us. And now we can do that, or at least get started on doing that. I'm ju...
Listen, he’s a great basketball player and he does so many things for our team ... He should be flattered in a lot of ways that this is news.
