kept ray scoring terrific
We kept scoring and then Ray got hot. That's a terrific win. They're awfully good.
court defensive finished front good great kept needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. I thought we really got a lot of good performances from a lot of people. We got stops, we're not a great defensive team but the team we had on the court at the end did what they needed to get the stops. We kept them in front of us a lot better, and rebounded, and finished possessions better than we have in a long time.
absolutely clearly difference free game kept shot throws won
That was the difference in the game. We just kept fouling. They shot 39 free throws in our building. That had absolutely nothing to do with the officiating. That was us. That clearly where the game was won right there.
fact golden heard hearing kept phoenix team
I heard after the fact that Phoenix wanted him. The team that we really kept hearing was Golden State.
break four fun great guys help kept looked rules studying zone
I just kept studying it. And studying it. And studying it. Studying different teams. And the zone rules. I really got a lot done in four days. I looked at the All-Star break as a great opportunity, with no distractions to get in there and grow, so I can help these guys more. So if was fun for me.
care employees hit kept taking
Employees just kept getting hit by (rising) health-care costs. Other things were more important to them than taking care of their employees.
dug hole shortcuts start taking terrible
We were taking shortcuts out there, got off to a terrible start defensively and really dug a hole offensively.
last team wins
We just weren't there. This team has been through a lot, but we've had some pretty significant wins in the last 12 games.
ahead huge stayed step training
We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked.
seattle shame team
To me, Seattle has always been a cornerstone of the NBA. It would be shame if the team had to leave.
defense hands played team worst
This team when I first got there played defense with their hands down - the worst I've ever seen.
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.
