deserved found game great hall happy honor means obviously smile smiles surprised
I'm not surprised because obviously he deserved it for a while now. But just for him to actually be told he's actually in the Hall of Fame, I think, means a lot to everybody.

We're just happy for him because he does so much for us and for the game and for Connecticut that it really is a great honor for him that he deserves.
care deserve games group last opportunity playoffs
We just didn't take care of business. The last two games we had an opportunity to make the playoffs on our own account, but as a group no one got it done. We didn't deserve to go.
shy noses bigs
I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm not shy about anything. Not even my big nose.

advantage change games minute worse
Up 50 or up 10 or two, we play the same way. The minute you change the way you play, the minute you get worse as a player. You don't get too many games in the Olympics. You have to take advantage of all of them.
basketball bottom decisions focus good line players
The bottom line is we've got good basketball players so we make good basketball decisions and play really good basketball and we just got to keep that same focus and intensity,
focus lack
That's pretty bad. That's not going to get it done. That's just a lack of focus.
care gets job matter points scoring
I really don't care about scoring as long as we win, ... That's all that gets us going is winning. It doesn't matter how many points you score. If you have a 'W,' you did your job.

It is an honor to be invited to the White House. I'm glad I can be part of this year's event, celebrating the importance of literacy for young people and adults,

Right now, when you can get fresh legs for down the stretch and get people into the game who haven't played all year, but do really well, that gives our team a lot more confidence.
