Anytime you can coach the greatest athletes in the world for a day, it's a thrill.

Anytime you got a guy that can score 50 points in this league, you know he can score.

Anytime you're in a game and you have 42 buckets and 30 assists and only nine turnovers, you're distributing the ball, playing pretty well.

Anytime you lose someone, a death in the family, it's very, very emotional. We're not in any situation to pressure him one way or the other.

I don't think you can chase anything. Anytime you chase something, you never end up catching it. So it if comes, it comes.

There's always an energetic bounce - whether good, bad or indifferent - because a new voice, a new energy comes in. Anytime a coach takes over a team, there's always that initial excitement that carries over to the team.
