athletic days few fit geared genuinely grow improve last moves small steve trying wish
The moves we have made during the last few days are geared to grow and improve our team. Trevor is a young, athletic small forward, who will fit in defensively with what we are trying to accomplish. I genuinely like Steve as a person and wish him nothing but the best.
ball confidence continues defender dwight finesse foul liked matched maybe rather took trying
The thing I liked most was that when Dwight was matched up with Duncan, he took the ball right at him. That's what we've been trying to get him to do all season. We want him to take it right at the defender rather than the finesse stuff. Maybe as he continues to get confidence from the foul line, he'll do that.
ball best collective key opportunity people trying
We'll just have to make that up with trying to get the ball to our key people that we think have the best opportunity to score. It has to be a collective effort.
bottom pain trying
He just has a lot of pain in that abdominal area, and we're just trying to get to the bottom of it.
best concerned guys mean pieces returning together trying worry
I don't mean to be insensitive, but you worry about the guys you have, not the guys you don't have. I'm concerned about the guys we have returning and the new additions and trying to put the pieces together so we make the best use of their abilities.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
early gotten guys job liked sure thinking
I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
holding looked pain saw sure
I'm sure it's discouraging for him. He looked to me that he was having some pain and I didn't want to take any chances. I saw him wincing out there and holding his midsection. It didn't make sense for him to continue. I know he's down.
engage sometime sure
I'm sure sometime (today), we'll engage in discussions about that,
chicago credit gave guys honest reflected sure
I'm sure our guys were disappointed about not being in the playoffs, but I don't think it reflected in our play. They gave an honest effort, but just didn't play as well as we've been playing. But let's give Chicago some credit because they made some big shots.
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.
animal danger secured taking
Everyone is secured from everyone else. There's no danger of any animal taking advantage.
expecting genuinely hope level obvious playing reason whatever works
It was just obvious for whatever reason that he wasn't playing at the level that he's used to or the level that I was expecting him to play. But I genuinely hope that it works out for him in New York.
early family hawks obviously sad somebody
It's really sad for somebody that young and so early in his professional career. It's obviously devastating for his wife, his family and the Hawks organization.
