I typically try to share my mistakes (with young coaches), so they don’t waste time, chauncey’s a leader. He led a team to a world title. What can I tell him? But hopefully I can share him what I haven’t done well and he can avoid those same mistakes.

I haven’t talked about streaks of any kind just because we have been so focused on improving, but it is really cool to be a part of something like that.

It is hard to win in this league and we are not satisfied but it is special, to do it in front of our fan base, in a special city like this with the history of this franchise is pretty cool and I want our guys to enjoy it.

We noticed it last night, earlier in the game he felt OK, but as the game went on it felt like it worsened but he wanted to play. It got worse after the game and last night I had a feeling that he wouldn’t play.

I’m happy that the people did do that because it fueled an already highly competitive, strong-willed, Maestro of a point guard and basketball player, never want to count out a guy like Chris.

Our players have worked their tails off, they’ve done everything I’ve asked them to do, i’m just happy for them.

Speaks to the work and speaks to his attitude, he was ready.

That’s the kind of basketball we want to play, that’s the level I’m going to hold the guys to. 34 assists, the ball movement, the player movement, that’s who we are. The balance was much better tonight.

He looked good, athletic. And then there were times where he looked out of sync, he hadn't played in an NBA game in a long time. I think once he gets his timing back and gets a rhythm with our guys he's going to get better and better.
