build bunch committed guys team until
Now we have a whole bunch of committed players, where before we had too many dissident guys who just didn't want to be here. So there was no way we were going to build a team until now.
everybody failed feels left pick positive
When this happens, everybody kind of feels like we all failed and we have to pick up where we left off and try to make something positive out of the season.
beat face gets hit protect time
(Lewis) just gets beat up physically, he doesn't get any calls. He got hit on the arm. He got slapped in the face and no call. That really hurt. He gets beat up all the time and they just don't protect him at all.
I can't get over Wilcox. I'm going to have to get on him about his assists.
absolutely played playing
I can't get over Wilcox. He's playing great. He played absolutely great.
balance bringing energy limit post sky work
I can't get over Wilcox. He's bringing a lot of energy all over the floor. The sky is the limit with him. We just have to work on his footwork and his balance and then we can post him up a little more. But he's a handful.
column expect five fully games loss
We fully expect to try to make the playoffs. We're five games out of the loss column and we're in first place in our division. These are the kind of games we have to get.
good respond
We weren't very good at anything. We just weren't there. We didn't respond physically. We didn't respond mentally. We just got our butts kicked.
basket bell contested easy pick points poison rather shot
You have to pick your poison with them. How many points did Bell have (23)? It's something you had to live with. I'd rather them take contested threes than get an easy shot at the basket inside.
commitment credit definitely players playing
You have to give the players a lot of credit because it's definitely different than the way we were playing before. It's at the other end of the spectrum, and it was going to take a commitment on their part, a lot of concentration.
grace somewhat training
You have to give them a grace period, because they are going to make mistakes. As I said, this is training camp. I have to be somewhat patient.
certainly fighting fights-and-fighting half momentum played playing playoff spot
You have to give Philadelphia a lot of credit. They're playing without Iverson, they are fighting for a playoff spot and I thought they played hard. They certainly had the momentum most of the first half and most of the third.
year
This year has been a ball. It has just been so fun. It's been hard, but it's been a lot of fun.
amount asked games guys season three trades
We've really had three seasons. We had the first 30 games with Bobby. Then they asked me to do this and we had X amount of games with the guys who really didn't want to be here and guys who did. Then we had the season after the trades were made.
