bad based feels invited team training
I think we were the only team that invited him to training camp. I feel bad that he feels that way. But based on what we saw, we weren't going to be able to get him on the floor.
discuss feels happens road sit
We haven't had that discussion. We'll see what happens over the weekend, see how he feels and sit down and discuss what road to take.
accomplish along basketball biggest chance continue everybody feels finish finishing good guys impetus key next nice note positive season team themselves work
I've said all along that the key thing is that we finish up this season on a positive note so that these guys feel good about themselves and feel good about what we can accomplish next year. That's the biggest impetus and with the way we're finishing up, I think everybody feels the same way, that this team has a chance to be a real nice basketball team if we continue to work at it.
road time waiting
We've always said there's something better down the road waiting for you. It wasn't the right time or the right place.
camp group guys hate hear love players playoffs rule season start training until
We're not going to rule out the playoffs until we're mathematically eliminated. I know the players would hate to hear this, but I'd love to go to training camp with this group of guys right now and start the season all over again.

We're still fighting for that playoff spot and that just means those teams in front of us have to keep winning to stay ahead of us.
far games happen left matter number people playing refuse
With the number of games we have left to go, the one thing we refuse to let happen is we're not going to come out and go through the motions. It doesn't matter who's out there playing as far as I'm concerned. We're just going to play the people who play the hardest.
basketball bearing commitment games next training win year
What we did this year has no bearing on how many games we win next year. There has to be a commitment in the off-season to get better, and there has to be a commitment when we come back to training camp. If we make that commitment, then we'll be a better basketball team.
free higher hold line nine percent percentage shoot throws turn
We hold then to 40 percent from the floor, they shoot nine free throws but we turn it over 17 times. We need to shoot a higher percentage and get to the line more.
guards second
Other than Carlos, our guards just got tentative in the second half.
good job phenomenal pierce
Pierce had a phenomenal game. But other than that, we did a real good job defensively.
care either guys help somebody
I tell the guys we've got to take care of our own business, and we're either going to get help from somebody else or not.
damn kids survive teach teacher tests
I think the way you survive as a teacher is that you teach the kids so damn well that they are going to do well on tests anyway.
detroit draft guys needs pick skilled took
I think he just needs a chance. He's a very skilled player, but he hasn't had much of an opportunity. He was the No. 2 pick in the draft and Detroit took him for a reason. Sometimes we just pick guys who take a little longer.
