beaten changes coming defensive dribble gotten guys help problems year
We made a lot of changes this year and thought we'd gotten much more athletic. I didn't know we were going to have the same problems on the defensive end. Guys are getting beaten off the dribble like drums, and then when the help comes, the other guys aren't coming in.
feels living suitcases time
It feels like home. The only time we're living out of suitcases is when we're on the road.
excited happened mixed orleans people season start supposed
I think everybody's excited about getting the season started, but there's going to be a lot of people that start to think back on where we're supposed to be in New Orleans and what happened in New Orleans. You're going to get some mixed feelings.
bit defense definitely guys hurt hurts shooting spread
It doesn't hurt us defensively. We're probably a little better defensively but it definitely hurts us offensively. He's one of the guys that we can spread the defense out a little bit with his shooting ability.
adjusting constantly everybody guys move shifting shock worn
I think guys are still adjusting a little, but I think the shock of the move has worn off. I think everybody here is pretty much settled. But just like me, you don't have everything from home, New Orleans, that you had, so you're constantly shifting stuff.
bit continue ice prevent reasons shoulder treatment trying
I still think he's got a little bit of a stinger in that shoulder so he's going to continue to get treatment on that and ice it down more for precautionary reasons than anything. Right now, he's just trying to prevent that thing from flaring back up and going back to where it was at the beginning.
people stop talking waste
I stop talking when people don't listen. I'm not going to waste my breath.
breath people stop talking understand waste
I stop talking to people that don't listen. I'm not going to waste my breath I don't understand what more (he) wants.
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.
both forward gotten looking ok parties point sure
I thought we had gotten to the point that both parties were OK with it. We're disappointed and I'm sure he is. He was looking forward to being here.
cheering fantastic job
I thought they did a fantastic job cheering us on.
came compete felt five hurt last minutes seems six team three
I thought we came out better than we have the last five or six games. It just seems like in the last two or three minutes of each quarter, they hurt us. The Spurs are a championship team and they can really buckle down on you defensively during those stretches. The one thing I want more than anything right now is to compete and I felt like we did that tonight.
effort guys points talking win
I thought our effort was much better. Defensively we're just having way too many lapses. Guys aren't communicating out there and talking to each other. You give up (52) points in the paint, you're not going to win too many games.
decision everybody forward glad looking playing
I think all the players, everybody in our organization is glad that it's over with and the decision has been made and we can just keep looking forward to playing basketball.
