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.
achievement bigger experience gotten guys key last looking nice season terrible wins
It's not an achievement, it's what we expected. We've gotten to .500; now the key is to keep going. There are a lot of young guys that didn't experience the terrible season we had last year; the 19 wins is a nice accomplishment, but were looking to do bigger things this season.
fighting fights-and-fighting gotten intensity level message teams tougher
The intensity level is getting tougher because teams are fighting for the playoffs. And we haven't gotten that message yet.
bigger gotten matter
We were real small. We've gotten bigger in a matter of minutes.
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.
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.
athletics basketball bring extremely fit jumps runs
We're excited. We bring in another athlete, a 7-foot athlete, 24 years old who runs and jumps and does a lot of the things that we want here. I think he'll fit in extremely well.
both ends floor fourth glaring good holes mentally quarter team tough win
We're just not a very good team right now. There are a lot of glaring holes at both ends of the floor for us. We are having opportunities to win in the fourth quarter but are not mentally tough enough to get the stops.
basketball biggest both ends glaring good holes team weak
We're just not a very good basketball team right now. To me, we have a lot of glaring holes on both ends of the floor. The biggest thing is that we're so weak mentally.
belong chance fact guys playing prove time
There are some guys that didn't prove (they want to play). If they don't look at this as a chance to get some playing time and legitimize the fact they belong in this league, then they are going to be in trouble.
certain confident game guys sure
We're still not confident in what we're doing from game to game. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get from everybody. There's certain guys that I know what I'm going to get, but there's too many guys that I don't.
good job knew kobe work
We knew we weren't going to be able to keep Kobe under 30, but you want to make him work for it. And I think we did a pretty good job of that.
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.
guy jackson marc physical
Marc Jackson is a banger, a very physical guy who can make shots.
