climate doubt entire good playoff run team
We're good enough to be a playoff team with those two, no doubt about it in my mind. We're a different team with them. We're fast. We run and get out on the break. ... The entire climate has changed.
change developing direction floor playing putting robert sets team throwing total younger
I think if we don't make any trades, or we don't change the team at all, you have to look at playing Johan (Petro) and Robert (Swift) and throwing them the ball, putting sets in for them, developing them even further, getting Damien (Wilkins) on the floor even more. I think that is the direction we would go, total development of the younger guys.
goal ourselves position positive team
Our goal right now as a team is to put ourselves in position to do something positive with the season.
game guys hard kicking neither playing team teams took win
Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.
defensive good progress scheme team whiskey work
We don't have many whiskey drinkers on our team. We've got good guys. Our defensive scheme has to be team oriented. ... That's a work in progress with a team like this that's also very young.
fans good half needed robert second team
We needed Robert to have a good game. The team needed Robert to have a good game, the fans probably needed Robert to have a good game, so the second half was great.
beat built entirely five high improved number run shoot six team trading
After the trading deadline, I put in the whole thing entirely and we improved after the first five or six games. I've got to tell you, as long as this team is built the way it is, that number (points allowed) is going to be high because we're going to run and shoot the ball. We can't beat you just with our defense. We're not built that way. We have to beat you also with our offense.
biggest career challenge embrace few game offense pace search teams tonight utah
The biggest challenge tonight was to embrace the pace of the game and they did it again. I thought that's one of the few times in my career that any of my teams have been able to take Utah out of their offense and make them search for shots.

The core of this team cares. They're playing hard.
good needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. We got a lot of good performances from a lot of people.
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.
chances felt focus focused game goal good hopeful improvement legitimate night point team took
There is a lot to be hopeful for and the focus is here. I wanted to keep the team focused on improvement and that was my goal when I took the job. I think it got to a point where I felt good every night about our chances to win. And that's what you want, to go into each game with a legitimate chance to win.
defense hands played team worst
This team when I first got there played defense with their hands down - the worst I've ever seen.
built good guys team win
They are a team built to win a championship and I thought under the circumstances our guys did a good job.
