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.
anybody grant hard injuries people players system together whether within
You have to play with the people you have, ... We can't use injuries, whether it's injuries to Grant or anybody else, as an excuse. We still have players here that are going to play hard and play within our system and play together as a team.

This was a much needed win and I was very happy with the effort that the guys gave tonight. We just came out and played very hard from the beginning of the game.
basketball becoming collection guys hard rather rewarding stage step team
This was a big step for us. I think we're becoming a basketball team rather than a collection of individuals. To me it's very rewarding to see how, at this stage of the season, how hard these guys are playing.

It's hard for me to talk about next year. All I really want to do is make sure we finish up this season on the right note and that's our game Wednesday night against Indiana.
competing easily encouraged extremely good guys hard played playing putting team
This is one of the hard things when you are putting guys out there in different spots. Even with all of those mistakes, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I'm extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could have easily quit. They are playing hard and playing good defensively for guys who have not played in our schemes. I like the way this team is competing right now.
hard offensive work

I didn't think he was working that hard defensively in the first half, to be honest with you. At halftime, he really turned it around.

ball continue lost offensive turn
We lost all our offensive organization. We can't continue to turn the ball over like this. When they made a run, we let down defensively, and that was the difference.

We have to explore it. Whether it's the D-League or doing something trade-wise, we have to explore everything to try to improve the team.
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.
basketball expect half kicked respect team win
It was an embarrassing performance. We didn't come out, we didn't play hard, we didn't give this team any respect and we got our butts kicked in the process. You can't play one half of basketball and expect to win a basketball game.
bit guys smaller
It was a little bit of a mismatch. We had smaller guys and we couldn't keep them off the glass.
