Larry Brown Beg Quotations

We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.

A lot of what you just said is going to determine who's going to play. The guys that are committed to hustle back, make the extra pass, take the good shot, are probably the ones who are going to be out there in the guts of the game, or maybe at the beginning of the game.

We didn't have Steve Francis with us in practice, and that's going to impact us. We missed a lot of good shots. We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.

At the beginning of the game, the first four or five plays they just got to the front of the rim with nobody helping. That was a pretty good indicator of how it went.

We're going to shut him down a little bit. Hopefully, he'll be back at the beginning of next week and we'll know a little bit more. Hopefully he'll be ready to play. If not we'll worry about that then.

We cut it to seven at the beginning of the third quarter, and then I don't remember us making a pass, except to them.

Dr. Callahan told me let's shut it down awhile and give him some time to rest because he hasn't done anything (like this) in two years, ... It's a lot different than working out on your own and then all of sudden being in this kind of environment. So we're going to shut it down a little bit. Hopefully he'll be back the beginning of next week. We'll know a lot more then.

We've had a lot of those rallies with some of the young players. It was fun. David kept begging out, and I kept looking the other way because he played . But it was good. If you can compete like that every night, that's real important.
