maybe responsibility teach trying year
Melo has got to go through this. We can't teach with film. We can't teach it with books. . . . Maybe the year he's had we have too much responsibility for him. But he's listening. . . . He's trying to become special.
balance book couple felt game giving last plans playoffs rather saturate series spent talking time trying
I think this series we've spent too much time talking about what we have to do rather than just playing. That's why the last couple of game plans have been simpler. Trying to do little things rather than saturate the brain. I've always felt in the playoffs there is a balance between giving them too much information. We have so much information. We have a 280-page book on the LA Clippers.
trying matter complaining
The truth of the matter is, we're not far away from where we should be. We can complain about the problem or we can go out and solve the problem. I choose to go out and try to solve the problem.
best cover defender minutes sam strong teams
Energy. Rotation. To put my best teams on the court. . . . To cover Sam. To get more minutes of a strong defender on Sam as I can.
filtering halftime staff stuff talk
I will talk to him and see what's happening. He told me and the staff at halftime that he couldn't go. Now, there's stuff filtering out that there's frustration there. We'll see.

I think I can get better because of this and hopefully he feels the same way.
series sometime
I think he'll be able to play sometime in this series if we need him.
answer gut hoping persevere says stay strong
Will it energize us or de-energize us? I can't answer that. I'm hoping we'll all be strong and persevere and stay together. My gut says we're going to do that, but only (tonight) will tell us the answer.
win
Without Andre, we're done. We can't win without Andre.
bruce control last series step though took
I thought he took a big step in last year's playoffs. Even though we didn't win, he got better control of Bruce Bowen (as the series progressed).
aggressive attitude basketball team win year
I don't think we're a pretty basketball team. We haven't been a pretty basketball team all year long. When we play with a mad-dog attitude and get aggressive defensively, we win games.
american-coach basketball dogs fence lower
When you have Ruben Patterson and Reggie Evans out there? When you don't know what play to run, just let them play? Let them go into the backyard, lower the fence and let the dogs go do it.
harder nice thursday win
It was nice to get a win when we didn't play well. I think we are going to have to play better and harder than we did Thursday to win Saturday.
days hard kick knowing living stronger tough
The day when you get told is a tough day. It was a hard night, ... But once you get the news, it's living with it and getting stronger and knowing that you are going to be fine. And you are going to kick its butt. And those days got better every day.
