Flip Saunders Fine Quotations

We just have to play him better. It's a fine line as to how much you want to show (before the playoffs). We talked as a staff this morning about the stuff we've been working on -- how much do we want to use it or not use it? I guess we'll just have to wait and see in the heat of the battle.

You've gotta realize, Chauncey went 6-for-6 and brought us back making threes in the fourth. It's a fine line.

I think if a guy gets in the game and he's productive, then he's going to get more minutes. That's what it's about. And it's that fine line: Do you become productive when you get minutes, or do you get minutes and then become productive? That's always the fine line between players and coaches.

The scary thing is he's only 21. Watching him when he was younger, I always thought one of his main strengths was the ability to make other people better. That can always be your major weakness if you do that too much. What he's done in the last month is on the fine line of when he needs to take over a game and when he needs to take a shot to win a game.

There's a fine line. As I told our guys, it's not a matter or winning or losing, it's playing good, and if you play good, you win.

When I came here, a lot of the players told me it'd be like that. We float under the radar a lot. So I think that's fine with us.
