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.
damn four good low three type
Three or four years ago, he was a pretty damn good scorer down low and outside. Hopefully, he still has that type of potential.
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.
guys nights offensive ourselves players rely team three trade weapons
They've got a lot of players but three that they really rely on, especially on the offensive end, and those guys had big nights tonight. You can't trade baskets and think that you're going to outscore a team like this. We don't have the weapons to outscore them. Tonight, we didn't even give ourselves a chance.
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.
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.
athletics basketball bring extremely fit jumps runs
We're excited. We bring in another athlete, a 7-foot athlete, 24 years old who runs and jumps and does a lot of the things that we want here. I think he'll fit in extremely well.
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.
belong chance fact guys playing prove time
There are some guys that didn't prove (they want to play). If they don't look at this as a chance to get some playing time and legitimize the fact they belong in this league, then they are going to be in trouble.
certain confident game guys sure
We're still not confident in what we're doing from game to game. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get from everybody. There's certain guys that I know what I'm going to get, but there's too many guys that I don't.
good job knew kobe work
We knew we weren't going to be able to keep Kobe under 30, but you want to make him work for it. And I think we did a pretty good job of that.
asked fire guy players problem rod
Rod said the guy was the real deal, so I asked him why did he fire him. Rod said that he (Scott) had a problem with one of the players for something Byron said to the media.
guy jackson marc physical
Marc Jackson is a banger, a very physical guy who can make shots.
