couple good job running shooting weeks
Rashad did a very good job for us, running the break, shooting the three, spotting up. I've said this for a couple weeks - he's really improving.
ball push run stop time walk
I've always told them to run. The only time we want to stop and run a set play is on a dead-ball situation. We get a rebound, we want to push it. We never want to walk the ball up the court, never.
envelope fast force guys increase instead jogging push running
We wanted to increase the tempo, push the envelope and play as fast as we could. If you are going to be a running team, you have to do it every night. You have to force it. Sometimes the guys think they are running, and they are jogging instead of sprinting.
gas main matter ran running
That was the main thing ? we ran out of gas with those guys. It was more a matter of running out of gas than anything else.
growing minutes next run team together
We have to put together 48 minutes and that has been our story the whole year. That is a growing process. That is the next evolution. When a team makes a run at us we have to go right back at them.
close confidence excited game great guys hard run team win
I thought it was great for our confidence in close games, to come out and close the game, and win a game when a team is making a hard run at you like that. We're excited about it. The guys are excited about it.
fun losing run sports
Everybody's going to make a run and when they did, we didn't collapse. It's not fun losing the lead, but the important thing is that we didn't give in.
boards defensive hard offensive run
It's hard to run out when you don't get defensive stops. They got so many offensive boards that it slowed down our momentum.
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.
expectation goal last level realistic run thinking win
The expectation level is sky-high for all of us. Their goal was to win the division, thinking they could run away with it like we did last year. I don't know if that's a realistic goal.
coming good job looking matching playing quickly ready recognize run small
We didn't do a good job of matching up in transition. They were playing a small lineup. We didn't recognize quickly enough, because they were coming down and not looking to run a play but looking for the three-point line. If you're not ready to get back in transition, it's going to be a long night.
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.
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.
