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.
quality shots takes walk
I'd like to see if he can get up 20 shots. You can't just walk through that and get that many shots up, quality shots. To get 20 quality shots, it takes work.
cab call chance involved walk
It's irresponsible. You learn, and like I told him this morning, if he has to go somewhere, call a cab. Walk or call a cab or get a ride. Don't even take a chance of getting involved in something like that.
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.
laughed laughter walked
They would have laughed if you walked in with long shorts.

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.

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.
attack difference guys liked team
I see the difference in our team -- the speed, the quickness, the guys in attack mode. I liked our scrap, I liked our fight.
