against create emotional focus former maybe overly raises situation
You always want to play well against your former teams. But I don't think it's going to create a situation where anybody's going to become overly emotional or anything like that. If anything, maybe it raises your focus a little bit.
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.
bad coming felt five games gone grant great past productive situation step summer training
It's a setback for us, but I feel bad for Grant with everything he's gone through the past five years. He had a very productive summer and he felt great coming out of it, and he had a great training camp. For our team, it's just a situation where we have to step up. Collectively, we have to step up and make up for the loss. But the games still go on.
basketball bit defense force goes good light maybe realize share situations together
Sometimes the light goes on a little bit later. Maybe this is one of those situations where we just realize if we play together and share the basketball and play good defense and force some turnovers and get out and run, we can be pretty good.
great handled matter meals miss move resolved sitting steve sure
I like Steve as a person, I like him a great deal. I miss sitting down having meals and discussions with him, but it was a matter that had to be handled the way it was handled. I'm sure we can get it resolved as we move down the road.
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.
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.
