aggressive basketball hit jump line nine playing road second settling stopped tells
We got out playing the way we wanted to play basketball in the first quarter. In the second quarter, we hit a road block. We stopped being aggressive and started settling for jump shots. We only got to the free-throw line nine times. That tells me that we weren't being aggressive.
basketball best shot somebody
I think he's making his best basketball play. I don't think he's being too unselfish. If somebody has a better shot than you, you've got to make the play.
basketball game head stuck tough
I thought defensively he was great. He stuck his head in there and got some tough rebounds. It's just an all-around basketball game that he is playing.
basketball bit early flashes good mark opportunity score seen starting
We've got to try everything to get better and in a groove. I've seen flashes of real good basketball from Mark Blount. I think getting him in the starting lineup will give him a little bit more ownership, a little bit more opportunity to score early in the game.
basketball both ends hope kevin notice playing solid taking
Kevin and Wally are playing at an All-Star level. I hope everyone is taking notice that they are playing solid basketball at both ends of the floor.
basketball bullets care gave jumps offensive paper took
The stat that jumps out on paper for me is the turnovers. That's huge. We took care of the basketball and that gave us more bullets on the offensive end.
basketball black huge meeting prized raising remember
I remember I was so intimidated meeting him. I went into his office, and he had no basketball pictures. It was just all of his prized cattle. He was huge into raising Black Angus cows.
basketball containing great guys job
They did a great job of containing the basketball and getting guys out of their spots.
along basketball brings experience iq kevin loved mark people position quickly talked wealth
He brings a wealth of experience that I like, that we need at that position to go along with Kevin (Garnett at forward). We'll see how it goes. We'll see how quickly we can get Mark acclimated. His basketball IQ is high. I talked to a lot of people that loved him.
rainbow storm ends
There is a rainbow at the end of the storm.
effort tonight lasts
Tonight was a disappointing effort. I thought we competed the last three quarters but in the first quarter we did not compete, we participated, and that's not acceptable.
games kevin too-much
I thought we came out with too much respect at the beginning of the game and were on our heels instead of coming out attacking the way we did the last few games without Ricky and Kevin.
playing
We always want to have hope. Mathematically, we're still alive, so we're still playing for something.
couple dire far pieces rebuilding
We're not in such dire straits as everyone thinks. We're probably in the rebuilding process, whatever, but I think we're a couple pieces away, or not that far away from getting to where we want to be. ... But it's a process.
