Just settle down, man.

Settle down.

Are you yelling at the TV?

I'm more like yelling at the guys like, like, McHale, what are you doing?

No, just then calm myself.

I kind of expect excellence from them as I did when I was coaching them, but I'm just a fan.

That's why I sit by myself so nobody has to deal with it, especially McHale doesn't have to deal with it.

What did you say to Josh Hart after game four where he could have been the reason or one of the reasons why they lost that game in the closing minutes?

Oh, Dan, that was the only game I went to.

That was an incredible experience in itself.

But I was down on the court after the game, and he came up to me from behind, and he said, I was talking to Tim Thomas and Rick Brunson.

He came up to me from behind.

He said, I know, Coach.

I blew a laugh, but I didn't box out.

I know.

I was like, yo, dude, I'm not here to yell at you, man.

I'm proud of you.

I'm not here to yell at you.

When did you know that you had something special with these players?

Not just Brunson, but, you know, Bridges with Hart.
