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.
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.
bunch calls teams
We got a bunch of calls about him in the summer. I think teams know better than to call us about him right now.
good guys impress league nba realize teams tend wants
I think the one thing he wants to do is impress not only us, but other teams around this league to get back in this league. Once these guys are out, they tend to realize how good the NBA is - how much better it is up here - even if you're the 12th guy.
broken guess rest
I know that it's broken in two places. I would guess that he's done for the rest of the season. It's a big blow.
aggressive defensive extremely good knew
I knew he was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, and has a very good defensive head.
behind changed closed coaches doors goals knew obviously talking win
I knew that we could win 35. But behind closed doors when I'm talking to the coaches and talking to the players, our goals are a lot higher, and obviously we've changed our goals.
marvel
I kind of marvel at the young man.
nice problem second starting
It's starting to get better. We still had some lapses in the second half. That's the problem with our young guys. We get a little comfortable when we have a nice little lead.
nice second starting
It's starting to get better. I thought we had some lapses in the second half. We get a little comfortable when we get a nice lead.
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.
defensive front good guys job lack mentality
It was just a lack of defensive mentality tonight. We didn't do a good job keep guys in front of us.
ford home loud
It was great. It was a lot like home at the Ford Center. When we had our little lulls, they were loud and got us back into it.
coach deal next stuff type wants
It was just too many things going on player-wise that I didn't like that I wasn't going to be able to deal with the next year. So I wasn't going to put myself in the situation. No coach wants to go through that type of stuff when you have mutiny.
