bit continue ice prevent reasons shoulder treatment trying
I still think he's got a little bit of a stinger in that shoulder so he's going to continue to get treatment on that and ice it down more for precautionary reasons than anything. Right now, he's just trying to prevent that thing from flaring back up and going back to where it was at the beginning.
against basketball good happy instead satisfying straight trying wins
We were happy with two straight wins and that was satisfying enough for us instead of trying to come in here and get one against a very good basketball team.
fun great growing guys pains teaching time tough trying understand
It's been a fun first half. It's been tough at times. You go through growing pains (being) so young. For the most part, I've had a great time teaching these guys and trying to make them understand how this game, in my mind, should be played, and they're doing a great job.
believed destroy exactly last played remember time trying understand
I told them ... 'They remember the last time they played us and they're going to try to destroy us'. I don't think they believed me, but now I think they understand exactly what I was trying to say.
city feeling forward looking losing orleans people sure together trying worry
I think you've always got to worry about that. I'm sure the people in New Orleans are feeling that we're losing our team, so to speak. Like we keep saying, we're just trying to make sure that everything here is going well. When the city is back together and ready, we're looking forward to going back there and playing.
charles crazy funny humor might trying
If you know Charles, you know how crazy he is. That's Charles trying to be funny and have humor on the air. I don't think he did it maliciously. If he comes to a game, he might not want to leave.
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.

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.

Marc Jackson is a banger, a very physical guy who can make shots.
