few guys hard locker mental physical room simple team toughness understand watch
I think a few of those guys in that locker room have quit. It's disappointing to me; (those guys) won't be here, it's as simple as that. We have no mental or physical toughness on this team right now. It's just hard to watch that; it's hard to watch these young guys that don't understand and don't get it.
easier fall five gives guard jason point rely six
It gives us a different dimension, because we don't rely on one or two guys. We rely on five or six guys. If you have a point guard like Jason Kidd, it makes it easier for everyone else to fall into place.
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.
basically everyday hour start until
That's basically what we did for about an hour and a half, and we'll do it everyday until they start to get it.
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.
bottom guys jason join percent plays
Jason plays at 110 percent in every game. We need other guys to join him. That's the bottom line.
door shut
That door is still open. It hasn't shut on us yet.
guy jackson marc physical
Marc Jackson is a banger, a very physical guy who can make shots.
basketball good hung kept learn
Like I told the guys, that's a good basketball team. We hung in there, we kept fighting, but that is no consolation. We still have to learn how to get over the hump.
great might nights prove superstar
I said he would be a great player. I think he might be that already. Nights like this prove he is going to be a superstar in this league.
few perfect playing time today weeks
I said a few weeks ago that J.R. wasn't playing well and if it continued, I would have to make some changes, and today was the perfect time to do that.
fans guys players
Our guys feel real comfortable here. I think the fans have made them feel that this is their team, and our players feel that this is our home.
basketball bit chris few game hang heads looked minutes remember took
I think everyone started to hang their heads a little bit when Chris went out of the game. It looked pretty bad. I think it took a few minutes to remember we had a basketball game to win.
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.
