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.
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.
few guys hard locker mental physical room simple team toughness understand watch
I think a few of those guys in that locker room have quit. It's disappointing to me; (those guys) won't be here, it's as simple as that. We have no mental or physical toughness on this team right now. It's just hard to watch that; it's hard to watch these young guys that don't understand and don't get it.
came easy mentally team
We came out here and thought it was going to be an easy night. That's when a team has to know they mentally have to go after it even more.
against change lose playing soft team thinking
We are playing soft right now. Every team we are going against is thinking we are soft, and the only way to change that is to not be soft. If we lose going at it 110 percent, then we can live with that. But we are just not doing that.
david helping improving integral next team
David will be an integral part of improving our team and helping me get them to the next level.
base basketball second start team type until using
The base of our team is our athleticism and our quickness. We didn't start using that until the second half. That's the type of basketball we have to play to be successful.
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.
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.
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.
game keys learn quickness team though won
Even though we won the game we have a lot of things to learn from. Our athleticism and our quickness are the keys to our team and we need to use them to our advantage.
