guy main missed played
We got our main guy back and he played like he hadn't missed a beat.
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.
game mean played simple
We played like the game did not mean a thing. That was everybody, obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. Simple as that.
basketball favor hard played tempo type
We played hard tonight. We had the tempo in our favor and that's the type of basketball that we want to play.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
believed destroy exactly last played remember time trying understand
I told them ... 'They remember the last time they played us and they're going to try to destroy us'. I don't think they believed me, but now I think they understand exactly what I was trying to say.
five good job last played six
We played a lot better than we have in the last five or six games. The one thing that I wanted us to do was compete, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
effort energy played
I thought (Bass) was going to go up there and at least make one. I thought he played really well tonight. There's a lot of things he still has to learn, but his energy and his effort were big for us.
bench came deep defense extended guy loved minutes played
We can go 10 deep very easily. Speedy is a guy that can play extended minutes for us off the bench and give us a boost. I loved the way he came out and got after it on defense and played hard.
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.
