Larry Brown Tried Quotations

I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.

I tried to get his mind off this. We were talking about our team, the Minnesota-Boston trade and just what's going on in the league.

I tried to get him to suit up.

During the game I tried to run a few things for him and he said he couldn't. He was trying to get other people involved, so I just told him to be aggressive and act like you're trying to score. He was struggling, but he came through under the circumstances.

It depends on who the guys are. I've heard Michael do it. Because everybody knew he tried to do everything the right way all the time I think they could handle it.

He's great. He made shots. He's phenomenal. We tried to run with him and gave up 71 points.

He was great. We tried to run with him and we gave up 71 (first-half) points.

We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.

Our effort was great. We tried to do things the right way. We were a little unorganized on offence but I kind of felt that would happen.

We tried but we just we have some deficiencies that hopefully Jalen will help alleviate. I think he'll take a lot of pressure off the perimeter people and make the big guys bigger.

I've coached a lot of great kids, but he's at the top of the list. He told me he wanted to get better. He's tried to do everything I've asked.
