shot three
That three was the difference. For most of the game, we were able to take that shot away from him, but that shot killed us.
issues team
That team is talented. Right now they don't fit, and they've got other issues obviously.
hurt intensity lost stretch watch
That one stretch really hurt us. I thought we really lost our intensity and started to watch them play.
calm deserved felt last owed played
Another calm night. I think we deserved that one after the last two times that we played them. We felt we stole this one tonight. But we felt they stole two from us, so we owed them that one.
basketball deserves far hell tim
Duncan deserves everything he gets, as far as I'm concerned. It's frustrating guarding Tim Duncan even if they think he's not getting the calls. He's a hell of a basketball player.
gentle guys
Oh, these guys won't be gentle about that. You know that much on this team.
breaks game small
It was a game of small breaks and we didn't get any of them.
bench clock hurt late lost shots third timely watching
It was a hard-fought game. They made some timely shots, late clock shots did us in. I thought the third quarter, the one stretch, just really, really hurt us. I thought we really lost our intensity. We started watching them play for a while. And I thought that really hurt us. And our bench has to do something for us.
adjust effort human
It was one of those human games. We can adjust the effort and we can adjust the execution.
confidence days focus focused guys loss obviously seem snap spend time today tougher trying work
It's tougher obviously after a loss because guys are down emotionally. On days after a loss sometimes you've really got to snap their focus in. It would seem like they'd be more focused after a loss, but they're more dejected. Their confidence is down. You spend have the time trying to work them into it. Today we didn't have to do that.
action believe great guys job stuff title
I want these guys to be great players, I really do, but I also want them to be professional. I don't know if that comes into my job title or not, but I believe it does. So when that stuff happens, you have to take an action that you don't really want to take.
great lesson month past proved shake three together
It's a great lesson for us. We can play with this team. We've proved that. But they've been through so much in the past three years, they can't be shaken. We've been together for one month and things shake us.
means
It means we won't be doing something I had wanted.
games good hang lost road scenario tough
(The win) was huge. You know going out on the road having lost two tough ones (if we lost this one) would not have been a good scenario for us. At least we know we can hang in games and win.
