dancing rookies singing stuff
We haven't jumped on these rookies yet with some of things that they're going to have to do - the singing and dancing and all that stuff - but that day is coming, too.
correct guys maybe physical problems reading thinking
The problems we have to correct are all between the ears. It's not so much the physical problems. We have too many guys who don't understand, who don't get it. I don't know. Maybe we're reading too many of the clippings. Maybe we're thinking we're better than we are.
acted came game gets league light quarter rarely switch third turn walking
We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were walking in the park. Then as the game gets tight, we try to turn that light switch back on. Very rarely in this league are you going to be able to do that.
came easy mentally team
We came out here and thought it was going to be an easy night. That's when a team has to know they mentally have to go after it even more.
cooper johnson magic michael worry
Having Magic Johnson and Michael Cooper kind of take me under their wing, I didn't really have to worry a whole lot.
against basketball good happy instead satisfying straight trying wins
We were happy with two straight wins and that was satisfying enough for us instead of trying to come in here and get one against a very good basketball team.
soft
We were soft. That's why we got down 12-0. We were soft the whole game.
damn four good low three type
Three or four years ago, he was a pretty damn good scorer down low and outside. Hopefully, he still has that type of potential.
great hit kobe players
Great players make great plays. Kobe hit some big shots.
defensive fourteen game left minutes pick shot three
Fourteen down, in this league, with 12 minutes left in the game is nothing. We relaxed. On the defensive end, they get any shot they want. And then you try to pick it back up offensively, and you're dead. We have done that three or four times already this season.
bit city exactly pressure quickly until wondering
I don't think you can let it go until you know exactly what's going on. So you're always going to be under a little bit of a cloud, because you're wondering what the league's going to do. You're still wondering in New Orleans, how quickly can the city rebuild? There's still a lot of pressure that a lot of us have.
forget game sudden throw
I don't think you can just throw this out and forget it. I think you have to see why a game like this happened, see why all of a sudden we go from 59-49 and then for more than 10 minutes, we don't score.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
both contribute expect guys improvement last shown year
I expect both those guys to get opportunities and contribute to the team. And both those guys have shown improvement from last year to this year.
