You have to transform yourself, ... As a player, when theres something you dont want to do, or you dont want to do these interviews, you have other guys that they like talking to more anyway, cause you like those jovial guys. You can pass that off. As a head coach, you dont have anyone you can pass it off to.
More Quotes from Maurice Cheeks:
They just controlling the game and our defense was not that good. Everyone that we had out on the floor was not playing defense. I tried to insert some guys that were going to give us a little energy, give us a little defense and they turned the game around. Those guys that I put in there helped us get back in the game. Everyone that came in the game had a part in the victory.Maurice Cheeks

I thought the second half was the reason why we won the game, because it was just the will that helped us win the game. We were down, we were a step slow in the first half, and I thought our will got us back in the game.
