argue cheese defense given giving last negative points seven swiss team time
We have regressed. You can't really argue with that. Our team defense is Swiss cheese right now. Any time you are giving up the points we've given up over the last seven games, you can't say anything but negative things about our defense. I can't think of anything positive.
handle happen minutes starting stuff talk team whether
Right now, starting or not starting, it's the playoffs. It's about winning. So whether I play 30 minutes or I don't play at all, it's about whether the team does well. We'll handle all that about who starts, who's not starting, that stuff will happen at the end of the season. We'll talk about that this summer.
finish good last mean playoffs relieved strong tank
I think we relieved but not satisfied. We know that just because we are in doesn't mean that we can go out and tank these last two games. We want to finish fifth. We want to finish strong and go into the playoffs on a good note.
ball changed crystal game great highly himself jump league name realize series shot views
I think if he could look into a crystal ball and see the future, he'd probably realize he made a big mistake, because he could've made a name for himself and changed the way this whole league views him, just off this series alone. He has a great 15-foot jump shot and he's highly skilled. This could have been the series that changed his game around because, like it or not, he was going to play.
head might
I might have got in his head a little bit.
anybody cuss negative saying
I wasn't late. I didn't cuss anybody out. It was just a coach's decision. It was just something that had to be done. If he's not saying anything about it, I'm not saying anything about it because it wasn't a negative thing.
against mean playoffs season strong
Just because we made the playoffs doesn't mean the season is over. We have to come out strong and play well against Milwaukee.
easy miss saw
I saw him miss a lot of easy shots.
anyway happy help last night possibly ready team
Last night I said I'll be ready to help this team anyway I possibly can. But I'm not happy about the situation. I'm not going back on that statement. That's what I said, and that's it.
bad points quarter
We can't give up 38 points in a quarter to the Hawks. That's just bad defense.
gets takes three
The big three gets all the headlines; the little two does all the little things it takes to win.
brought since wizards
It's disappointing right now, ... but we did things that hadn't been done since the '80s. The Wizards were pretty much dead, and we brought in some life.
basketball ease pressure talented type
As talented as Gilbert is he is going to feel like he has to do it by himself, and we have to ease that pressure off of him. And you don't want us to become that type of basketball team.
against anyone face fifth finish positive season
We want to finish fifth and finish the season on a positive note. We can be competitive against anyone we face (in the playoffs). We're competitive with anybody.
