base basketball change fan hurricane louisiana might people
I think they would understand. All the people that were in Louisiana before the hurricane are not there right now, so I don't think the fan base is there right now for our basketball team, especially right now in this month. It might change in March.
guys starting step
I think they are starting to get it a little bit. We have guys who are starting to step up right now.
bad giving knows love playing single someday time true
He's always said that he would love to someday play in Toronto, and that's understandable. That's his hometown. But he's never come in here with a bad attitude. He's been a true professional every single day. He knows this is where he's going to be playing for the time being, and he's giving us 100 percent.
gets grasp seems trouble
He's going to have to really grasp it a lot quicker. He seems to have some trouble with it. But once he gets there, I think he's going to be pretty good.
bring cheer fans game happiness hopefully uplifting
Hopefully this is something that will be uplifting and bring happiness to the fans that come to the game and cheer us on.
asked fire guy players problem rod
Rod said the guy was the real deal, so I asked him why did he fire him. Rod said that he (Scott) had a problem with one of the players for something Byron said to the media.
aggression break changed intensity main momentum sure type
Our main thing is to make sure when we come back when the All-Star break is over with, our momentum hasn't changed and we come out with the same type of intensity and aggression that we started with.
game hard knew playing
He was well-adjusted in October. He's just having fun. He's playing hard and he knew this was a game that we had to win.

He had his best year in Phoenix playing the type of basketball that we play.
accomplish coming game people win
He was motivated. He was coming home, he had about 500 people coming to see him today, so he wanted to win the game and play well. We were able to accomplish both.
ball groove playing shooting ways
He's playing really well. He's in a groove right now and is playing more comfortable. I told him with the way he's shooting the ball, I need to find ways to get him the ball more.
ball game knack natural putting small teach worth
He can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the basket. He's a natural small forward. All the little things that we have to teach him to play the game at 20 years old is going to take him a little time. But I think he's worth it.
game hopefully near playing somewhere
He just had a game of his life. Hopefully he can keep playing like that or somewhere near like that.
goes knowing repetition run seem sure wait
He just doesn't seem real sure of what he's doing out there right now. Again, it goes back to repetition and knowing how to run our offense. . . . I can't wait for Speedy to get back.
