This was interesting:

There have been ends of games where we've tried to decide whether to leave Dejounte [Murray] out there or put Tony [Parker] out there because Tony will have a little bit more feel for how to end a game. You can't have it both ways, you know? If we want the young guy to gain some corporate knowledge, then you do that by playing and understandings situations. And we've got to keep him out there, which we've done. So he's learning quickly, and there's a lot that he learns based on who he plays [against]. You think about this young kid. He didn't play last year, really, because he was hurt most of the time. He was hurt all summer. He's in a lot of ways a rookie at 21, and he's got Russell Westbrook one night, then he's got Steph[en Curry]. Tonight, he's got that guy, I forgot his name that pretty good player [Chris Paul]. So every night, it's like, ‘My gosh.' It's a huge experience for him, and he's gonna learn tons about how these big-time players conduct themselves in a game; the tricks they use, what kind of talent level they have, how they judge time and score. I'm thrilled for him, because it's really getting thrown into the frying pan for sure."[/URL]
