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.
ball good job knock might moving offensive opened ourselves pass shots tonight trouble
Sometimes we get ourselves into trouble on the offensive end. We might pass up a shot, but tonight we did a real good job of moving the ball around and that opened up the shots we can knock down.
bad ball fire five four given guard pull ready shots space surprised wide
Sometimes they get surprised he's so wide open. With a guard like that, you've got to keep your space and be ready to fire when the ball comes to you and take the shots that are given you. There was about four or five instances where we weren't ready to pull the trigger, and we end up making it into a bad play.
shot took
We got the shot we wanted. I think he (West) took one too many dribbles and got off-balance.
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 david fourth game halftime helped rebounds several shot start stay win
I told David at halftime to stay aggressive and that his shot would start falling. He had several big rebounds and put-backs that really helped us win this game in the fourth quarter.
finding four good job matter near nobody picks setting shots three
When he has his first three or four shots with nobody near him, and he makes those. Then it doesn't matter who's on him after that. They did a good job finding him, setting good picks for him.
great players shots
He made all the big shots at the end. That's what great players do.
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.
guy main missed played
We got our main guy back and he played like he hadn't missed a beat.
