best defensive half might second
I thought (the second half) might have been our best defensive half of the season.
best defense half might played
That might have been the best half of defense that we've played all season.
basketball best half might year
It might have been our best half of basketball defensively all year long.
against changes detroit far games might nice played since stretch test time
We'll see how we do against them. That's the nice thing about having games down the stretch -- you might as well test yourself against the best. This will be the first time we've played Detroit since we've made the changes in our team. We'll see how far we've come.
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.
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.
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.
ahead fighting front means playoff spot stay teams winning
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.
