chance close experience great kids send thrilled valuable watching
It was great watching the kids come back. We had a chance to send it into overtime. Diop made a great play. I was thrilled with the way they competed. They got valuable experience in a close game.
ball great looks moved playing quality road win
They've (Indiana) been playing great and I know this wasn't one of their better games, but it was a quality win on the road for us. We moved the ball great and got a lot of great looks because of it.
tough
There was a no-call when Jamal went to the goal. When you're going bad, those things happen. There were some tough ones, but we had our chances.
bought conversation experience fact great trying
After that conversation everything was very positive. I thought he really bought into what we were trying to do. It was not a great experience for me, the fact that we lost, but it was a great experience to see his growth.
happy played pleased stretch win
I'm not pleased with the way we played at all. But a win down the stretch is a win. And I'm just happy to be playing.
evaluate guys time
I'm going to play guys and see what we have. What better time to evaluate your guys?
francis glad scoring smart system understand won
I'm glad he won the slam-dunk contest, but I don't think they have a scoring system like that when you play a game. And I think he's smart enough to understand that when you have Marbury and Francis and Jamal, you can't play everybody.
figure gonna playing rest
I'm gonna keep playing the kids, ... and then figure out the rest of it from there.
ball free inside shot throws
I'm not going to get on the whistles. They shot free throws because they got the ball inside and they were aggressive.
comment emphasis happy point
I'm not going to comment any more. That's not my point of emphasis right now. I'm just happy he was back.
key
I'm not down on Eddy Curry. I think Eddy Curry is a key to our team.
active commenting players talking
I'm not commenting on Jerome. He's not on the active list. I'm talking about active players right now.
defend hope players willing
I hope we get players in here who want to defend and we keep the ones who have that as a priority. I think that's the only way you can win. Generally, if a guy's willing to defend, he's going to be unselfish, he's always going to play hard, and he's probably going to have unbelievable character.
hope players
I hope we get players in here who want to defend. And keep the ones who make that a priority.
