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.
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.
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.
aggressive defensive extremely good knew
I knew he was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, and has a very good defensive head.
defensive front good guys job lack mentality
It was just a lack of defensive mentality tonight. We didn't do a good job keep guys in front of us.
defensive everybody game looked mean played resistance scared
Terrible. I thought we started off terrible, no sense of urgency, no resistance on the defensive end. We played like the game didn't mean a thing. It's not everybody obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. We looked more like we were scared than anything.
instead minds realize teammate win
The players' minds were on their teammate instead of the game, which is understandable. I thought after a while that (his players) had to realize that we still had to win this game.
guys locker lots room simple
There are lots of guys in that locker room that just quit. It's disappointing to me. They won't be here. It's as simple as that.
best guys home positions
When you don't have one of your best players, sometimes that's what you have to do. You've got to put guys in different positions to see how they react, see how they play. Sometimes you come up with a home run, sometimes you don't.
job letting terrible whatever
We did a terrible job of letting them get whatever they wanted in the paint. We just did a terrible job defensively for pretty much to whole game.
giving loved
We would have loved to get a big without giving up anybody, but you've got to do what you've got to do.
confident member offensive run san sets team
We run the same offensive sets with Speedy. He was a member of a championship team on San Antonio, so we're very confident in him.
confidence dead finding game ways
We keep finding ways to win. Our confidence is sky-high. You think we're dead in a game and we find a way to win.
bus few guys mentally might second simple tough weak
We are so weak mentally and physically. When it comes to the second half, we might as well just get on the bus because our guys don't show up. We're just not tough enough. I think a few of guys in there quit, which is very disappointing to me. And they won't be here, simple as that.
