anyone last losses pieces recovered team trying
I don't think anyone has quit. But if you haven't noticed, this isn't the team that we had last year. And because of that we are trying to find our way. You can't just take away important pieces and try to get around that and we haven't recovered from the losses we had last season.
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.
camp certain chemistry defense knew last react time
The most important thing about camp and the preseason will be getting some chemistry going with the new guys. Last year, we knew where everyone was going to be on a certain play, how they were going to react to a certain defense or where they wanted a pass. It's going to take some time before we have that again.
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.
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.
box good grabbing helping job last people shots team tougher
The good thing is that we're doing a better job with our rotations, we're helping each other out and making people take tougher shots than we did last year, ... Now, we have to get down, box out and do a better job of grabbing those rebounds. That's how you can really take a team out of the game.
bad elite great hard middle ourselves team trying work
Right now, we're just in the middle of trying to find ourselves, that's where we are. We're not a bad team but we're not an elite team either. We're in the middle with a lot of other teams. We have to work hard to make ourselves a great team and, right now, we have a lot of hard work to do.
everybody hard likes playing
Right now, we're disjointed. We're not a team. I think everybody likes each other, everybody's out there playing hard, but we're not always playing hard and smart.
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.
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.
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.
bad points quarter
We can't give up 38 points in a quarter to the Hawks. That's just bad defense.
feels happy helps lie sit
I don't know why I'm not starting. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you, I'm not really happy about it. But if (Jordan) feels it helps the team, so be it.
