coming needed relief road trip
I can say it was a relief to get this win. It was one that was sorely needed coming off the road trip that we just had.
core following group might perhaps players salary
I don't see significant changes. Perhaps the following year, when we're under the salary cap, it might be different. But I think our core group of players is here right now.
develop given help opportunity physical player type
He's not a physical type of player right now. But we just feel, given the opportunity to play and show what he can do, we will try to develop him into the type of player we feel can help our team.
attacking ball basket finding people playing shooting
He's (Nelson) playing with a lot of confidence. He's playing really well, shooting the ball well, attacking the basket and finding other people on the floor.
best concerned guys mean pieces returning together trying worry
I don't mean to be insensitive, but you worry about the guys you have, not the guys you don't have. I'm concerned about the guys we have returning and the new additions and trying to put the pieces together so we make the best use of their abilities.
game hope played players proved respect
I'm embarrassed by our performance. I hope our players are because they should be. The way we played proved we didn't respect the game or the team. We just went through the motions.
came changed incredible percentage phenomenal second shot tempo transition
I really can't say enough about our second unit. I thought they came in and did a phenomenal job. They changed the whole tempo of the game. We shot an incredible percentage in that second quarter, but that was because we were out in transition most of the quarter.
great handled matter meals miss move resolved sitting steve sure
I like Steve as a person, I like him a great deal. I miss sitting down having meals and discussions with him, but it was a matter that had to be handled the way it was handled. I'm sure we can get it resolved as we move down the road.
execute floor game guys hearts hit last offensive won
You've got to find guys in transition. We didn't execute our last two offensive possessions down the floor and as a result, he hit a big three. All of our guys competed their hearts out. We should have won the game in regulation.
gets guys open playing sharing
These guys are playing unselfishly, they're sharing he ball, and if there's an open guy, he gets the ball.
All I say is we're still alive. You just have to take them as they come.
break penny places planning wants
The idea is there's not a whole lot of places to ride. He wants to race, so we're going to try to make a place to race. I'm not planning on making a penny off the track. As long as I break even, I'll be happy.
caliber coaches detroit easy four guys means quite remaining seven starting voted
The Detroit thing is such an aberration. It's easy to say they have no starting All-Stars, but they have four All-Star caliber players. Those remaining seven guys that are voted in by the coaches -- I think that means more, quite honestly.
basketball excellent great guys night playing win
All the guys were really, really excited. That was a great win over an excellent basketball team. That we did it after playing the night before (against Toronto) made it even more impressive.
