Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4799979, member: 26"] Really enjoyed the Hurley post game interview! [LIST] [*]Loved the positive comments on Ball - seems like he's getting better every game, even if it's by small amounts. [*]Thought his comments on Newton were spot on and good for him for calling out the media for 'watching twitter highlights' when discussing who the best guards in the country are. He must have said at least 3 times that Newton is one of the best guards in the country. [*]Didn't understand the Wetterman comment - I'm sure it was meant in jest, so what's the joke there? [*]Loved his comments about Clingan and I think Karaban - he said BOTH will be much different players in Feb and March next year - that their improvement will be big. He went on to talk about Hawkins and Jackson last season and how much they improved by the end of the season. [*]Loved his comments about Ollie and putting it all behind us, and about all the guys who have been calling and texting and being around the team (Allen, Villanueva, Voskuhl, and I can't remember who else he mentioned). Talked a lot about the culture of the program. [*]Also some nice comments about Diarra and Stewart (I think) with how well the bench is doing. No mention of Johnson, but he's been great too. He also said the guys on the bench are all about the team - cheering on teammates, even tho the teammates' great play is keeping them on the bench. [*]Also had some great comments about Spencer - I think fans are universally thrilled we ended up with him over Timberlake. [*]Mentioned several times his assistants by name and how great they are. [/LIST] I just like how he answers and addresses things. Doesn't shy away from anything uncomfortable. I assume if he didn't like something, he would call the reporter out, but obviously didn't need any of that for this presser. You can tell he's really high on the team - side note - anyone remember if he was making comments like this at this time last season? [/QUOTE]
