Just frustration.  I was just tired of watching all my guys out there, and the only way I can play and help is by (going) out there and just playing.  So, I think that was the biggest part of the frustration is just I can&#8217;t be out there at that moment, you know, just to help my team.  But, now that I&#8217;m here, we had a hell of a game.  Especially in the second half.  We were just flying everywhere, and I just think that energy is contagious and got everybody going.  Shaedon picking up full court now, so I like that a lot in him, and, you know, just being disruptive.  He&#8217;s got to stop fouling a lot but he&#8217;s doing a nice job.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"K9vKRE\"><strong>Ten Shaedon Sharpe<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"b7L95z\">Everybody helps mold the young fellas, but, especially in a game, things move to fast or their just still picking up the speed of the game, and all they really need is somebody just to guide them and, you know, just to talk to them.  I had it growing up in this league and, you know, just pass it down naturally.  But he listens and that&#8217;s one of the biggest things with him is he&#8217;s coachable, so that&#8217;s going to help him along the way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"qZd6uW\"><strong>on availability<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"e61pUz\">Yeah, that&#8217;s more on CB (Chauncey Billups).  I already told him that, you know, if you need me in situations, I don&#8217;t care about them 12 minutes.  If we got to do something at the end of games or whatever, let&#8217;s just get it and get the win.  I think we are on the same page with that and so is the training staff.
