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.
care closer continue games goes took
We took care of tonight. That was the first phase. Now we have to get these games on the road. Each day that goes by we continue to get closer to our goal.
anybody continue envision expect expects good gotten knows month playing push
He's really good. He's gotten better each month and he knows we expect a lot from him, and he expects a lot from himself. I don't think anybody could envision him playing this well this early, but now that we see how good he can be, we continue to try and push it.
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.
against bottom game good ready team
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.
contested forced jump rebound shots
We got stops, we forced them into some contested jump shots and we were able to rebound the ball. We just did what we do best, and that's try to get up and down the floor. That's how we play basketball.
guy main missed played
We got our main guy back and he played like he hadn't missed a beat.
blew bottom chance momentum
It was a chance to get a little more momentum going, going into (tonight's) game. And we blew it. That's the bottom line, we just blew it.
killer trip
It would have been a killer trip for us.
both developing effective guys post productive stronger summer talked
Realistically, he's not going to play a whole lot at (center), because both those guys have been productive for us. But he's still going to get his chance. The things we talked about this summer were just getting stronger and developing a post game, as well. He's a big guy with a big body, and we want him to be effective down there on the post.
defense fourth keys proud quickness team though took won
Our defense took over in the fourth quarter, and I was proud of the way our team played. Even though we won the game, we have a lot of things to learn. Our athleticism and quickness are the keys to our team, and we need to use them to our advantage.
