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.
ball catalyst defensive knocking leader shots
He's also been the catalyst I think for those guys. Getting the ball into them, being the quarterback, being the defensive guy, knocking down big shots and being the leader of that team. I think he's been huge.
attack bit catch creates man room space
We're more in an attack mode, which creates rebounding lanes and a little bit more space where his man has to help. He can get it, catch it and has a little more room to operate.
against competing guys heads main missing performance
We're missing two of our main horses, and our young guys can keep their heads up by their performance (Friday night), competing against a playoff-hungry team.
both fourth quarter star struggled
We both were without our star players. We struggled the first quarter and they struggled the fourth quarter.
forcing love taking understand
Would I love to have them? Yes, but I understand injuries, and there's no use in forcing it or taking any chances.
bill postal
We've got a postal bill that's pretty high.
difficult grow rules running sure team training work
We'd like to be an up-tempo team at the right opportunity. We want to make sure we know our roles, know our alleys, know our rules in running. It's very difficult to be a running team. That's something that you grow into, work on in training camp.
hold playing time walk
We always hold out hope. Mathematically we're still in it. Every time we walk out on the floor, we're playing for something and we're playing for improvement.
attack driving guys offensive points positive scoring though
Our positive was Rashad scoring 18 points but on the other end you have guys driving by you going to the basket. I thought though his offensive attack and feel was good.
ball contain guys
Our perimeter guys did not contain the ball at all.
quarter second tall
Our second quarter killed us. If we get anything at all in the second quarter, we're in tall cotton.
developing rhythm trend year
Our trend the whole year has been developing a rhythm in the first quarter. Then once (Kevin Garnett) comes out we kind of get off kilter.
question
Marko made a decision. You can't question it.
