bunch guys jumping seemed
We've got a bunch of guys jumping around and they seemed to play better after that.
cost last minutes seemed team three time
It seemed like every quarter, the last to or three minutes is what cost us. That team is a championship team. They seemed to buckle down at that time and get stops. And they get buckets on the other end.
came compete felt five hurt last minutes seems six team three
I thought we came out better than we have the last five or six games. It just seems like in the last two or three minutes of each quarter, they hurt us. The Spurs are a championship team and they can really buckle down on you defensively during those stretches. The one thing I want more than anything right now is to compete and I felt like we did that tonight.
gets grasp seems trouble
He's going to have to really grasp it a lot quicker. He seems to have some trouble with it. But once he gets there, I think he's going to be pretty good.
goes knowing repetition run seem sure wait
He just doesn't seem real sure of what he's doing out there right now. Again, it goes back to repetition and knowing how to run our offense. . . . I can't wait for Speedy to get back.
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.
