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.
basically came defensive early game good guys offensive picked production second shots
I can't say enough good things about the bench. I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench.
amazed certainly credit deserve enjoy guys move pick playing team
I don't know if I'm amazed by this team or not. But it's certainly a lot more fun. These guys deserve the credit because they enjoy playing with one another. If a guy makes a mistake, we pick each other (up) and move on because they're playing unselfishly and hard.
difficult direction gives good guard pick roll settles team
I think (Nelson) just settles our team down a little bit, gives them some real good direction out there and he's very difficult to guard in pick and roll situations.
attention detail good guards job none paying pick roll screens setting using
None of our guards are doing a good job of setting and using screens on the pick and roll and overall, we're just not paying attention to detail and executing.
change derived finished left middle next personally pick realize satisfying team year
Personally I derived a lot of satisfaction from the way we finished up, but still it's disappointing to not make the playoffs. Of course, I didn't realize that we'd have to change our team in the middle of the season. What would make this year more satisfying is if we pick up where we left off next year.
good hard picked tonight worked
He picked up some fouls . . . but that is where he belongs, out there. He worked hard tonight and did a good job.
decision double guard inside night picking tried
It was like picking our poison. (Tuesday) night, Shaq had his way inside when we tried to guard him with one man. Tonight, we made the decision to double him, and they made their three's.
beginning came effort gave guys happy hard needed played win
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.
control difficult points team tempo
When you get down 20 points to a team like Houston, it is difficult because of the way they can control the tempo of the game.
everybody half page
We've just got to get everybody on the same page here. It's a disappointing first half to the All-Star break.
people realize searching stop tragic
We wouldn't stop searching for them if we thought they were still alive. It's tragic but most people would realize that we do have to be realistic.
bit dominates everybody league
With big guys, sometimes it take a a little bit longer. Not everybody comes in a Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away.
easily encouraged extremely guys mistakes
With all the mistakes we made, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I am extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could easily have quit.
