growing harder hopefully learn nobody trying
That's growing pains. Hopefully Marcus will learn from it; nobody was trying harder than he was.
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.
gets hope rehab until
That's always a concern, but I hope that's not the case. I think rehab should be the first option. But if he has to (have a cleaning-out procedure), we have to keep going until he gets back.
far giving guard guy himself hope mentality pit point respect sees wants within
I hope he sees that we're giving him an opportunity. He's got a lot of respect within the organization from our coaches. I think he's everything we would need. We have a big point guard in Marko. And we would need a guy like himself and A.C. as far as a pit bull-type mentality defensively, and offensively being able to go where he wants to go with the basketball.
almost anyone asked build goal guys hope justin missed ran reed run
I asked Justin Reed if anyone had ever run an 'iso' for him in Boston, and he said no. We ran an 'iso' for him and he almost missed the whole goal he was so open. Those things you go through and hope the young guys build on that.
deserved fun guys hope mockery
The guys were having fun with it. For what we've been through this season, I thought the guys deserved it. I hope what we did didn't make a mockery of the game.
beings coming defense fastest human parker pressure puts tony
Tony Parker is probably one of the fastest human beings in the world. He puts so much pressure on the defense when he is coming at you.
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.
heat hit shoot third train turned
We hit a wall. We hit a freight train in the third quarter. Offensively we couldn't execute, we couldn't shoot and we couldn't score. ... They turned the heat up and we didn't respond.
days fight good lost spirited
I've said this all along; I do want to play Marko. And Marko has had two good days of spirited practice. He's got that fight back. He's got that spirit back that I liked. I thought he lost that.
lose suicide
It would be suicide to lose Kevin. That's not even part of my thought process.
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.
careless free line percent shot tonight
The story tonight was turnovers and free throws. We shot 67 percent from the free-throw line and had too many careless turnovers in the first half.
aggressive attack everyday kevin knock shots tonight until wants
I see the same Kevin. Kevin wants to win; he wants to attack. I see him everyday and I see the same passion. I thought tonight that they were double-teaming him and I think that's kind of what got him out of whack. Until we knock down shots and be aggressive and attack the rim, he's going to see that.
