game keys learn quickness team though won
Even though we won the game we have a lot of things to learn from. Our athleticism and our quickness are the keys to our team and we need to use them to our advantage.
call days five next passing practice wishing
We just stunk. We got tentative, we were passing up shots. It's what we call just getting tight. The next five days of practice are going to be hell. By the end, they're going to be wishing they had a game.
defensive resistance team trade
We just had no resistance on the defensive end tonight. You can't trade baskets or think that you are going to outscore a team like the Wizards.
against behind bottom careful coming game good ready team teams
We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we lacked to play a good game against a very good team in Indiana. We can't do that coming off the All-Star break. We have to be careful with other teams right behind us in our conference.

We weren't ready to play, bottom line. We're a young team and we just lacked to play a game against a very good team in Indiana.
guys neither push
What that does to us is slows us down because neither one of those guys really want to push the ball. We need Speedy back in there so we can keep that up-tempo game.

We did an exhaustive tour of all the possible facilities in the Oklahoma City region, and the Sawyer Center is a fantastic facility that exceeds all of the criteria that we had.
good moving rest running tired tried
We did a lot more running today, and a lot more drills and stations, so they didn't get a lot of rest today. I tried to keep it moving as much as possible. I had some tired guys. I could see that in them, which is a good thing to me because I know they're working.
loose mistakes proud talked
We didn't loose our focus, we did everything we talked about doing in pre-game. We made some mistakes but we were able to get through them with our aggressiveness, and that is what I was most proud of tonight.

Both of them are physical. Both of them are aggressive. It just gives us a different look.

We've got a bunch of guys jumping around and they seemed to play better after that.

We were real small. We've gotten bigger in a matter of minutes.
against good great jersey record second third
I don't know what our record is going against him. I know in Jersey my second and third years, we had a good team. But that doesn't matter. He's still a great coach.
certain guys kids type wives
Most of these guys want some type of stability. They want to know where they're going to be, how long they're going to be there and if they have families, they want their wives to be there, their kids in a certain school. It's going to be a challenge.
