plays tight
We had our chances. That's what it comes down to in tight games. Who is going to make the shots, make the plays at the end of the game.
chance injured limited minutes number taken ways work
We'll probably play him 4, 5 minutes a clip, and see how he does. We haven't had a chance to do a lot of up-and-down work because of all the injured bodies, but he's taken contact. His conditioning still has a ways to go, but the only way that's going to get better is to play. So we'll give it a go, and keep it a limited number of minutes.
bad bit cocktail hours relax road savor starting talk
Give me 24 hours at least to savor this one. We just had a bad road trip. I want to relax a little bit and have a cocktail and then we'll talk about the starting lineup some other day.
happen man players point
Getting a young big man and a point guard, that doesn't happen very often. So to be able to do that in one-fell swoop and get two players you like is good.
deadline experience great importance learned learning next nice reward trade wait year
If anything was learned this year it's the importance of all 82 games. It would have been a great learning experience and a nice reward for what they accomplished from the trade deadline on, but we're going to have to wait 'til next year.
shows throwing towel
If anything, this shows we're not throwing in the towel on the season.
basketball best five half might missed open took
I don't think it was because they missed open shots. Defensively, it might have been our best half of basketball all year. And it took all five guys.
basketball call games trend whether
I don't know whether you can call it a trend or not. But it's two games now where we've been better with the basketball offensively.
ball expect good guard job knows people point supposed understanding
Carlos, having been a point guard his whole life, just has an understanding of where the ball should go. He's going to get the ball to the right people and knows when he's supposed to keep it himself. I don't expect him to go 7-of-11 every night, but he did a very good job tonight.
If we're going to play inside-out, he's got to be able to play that way too,
aware trades
I don't know anything about trades right now. It's all talk, there's nothing that I'm aware of that we have on the table.
execute execution expect faith flying gate harder offensive start work
I didn't like our offensive execution at all. I didn't expect us to come flying out of the gate to start the season, but I have faith in these guys. We've got to work harder and execute better at the offensive end.
building identity
I'd like to think that we're building an identity now.
stock
Obviously, (CMGI) stock should be up with Lycos,
