We just don't know how to win, don't know how to finish.
guys hope pick reminding veteran
You hope that you have some veteran guys who will pick them up, and as a coach, I have to keep reminding them of that. But it's difficult.
hope talk watching
You hope by watching it that they'll do something about it. It's kind of befuddling right now because we talk about the same things over and over again.
chance guys talents
To have two guys back there, having those kind of talents is unique. And the little kid, he has a chance to be pretty special.
butler chance giving good guys hope jackie kid lose minutes particular playing somebody win
You guys want me to play the young guys and Jackie Butler has been pretty good. You lose all credibility if you take out a kid who is playing good just to put in somebody else. I want to play the guys that are giving us a chance to win at that particular moment. My hope is that Eddy Curry can play 40 minutes every game.
cutting forget guys nobody setting six worked
You guys forget everything we worked on for six days, ... Nobody is setting a screen, cutting and we end up with a (bad) shot.
bunch expect open opened sitting trailers
When you open the door, you expect to see a bunch of trailers sitting there. We opened the door, and there wasn't anything sitting there.
believe help movement trade
We got Steve. I think if you look at the movement in the league, that was a pretty significant trade and I really believe he'll help us.
ball hurt loose second turn
We got really aggressive, especially when we went small. We got loose balls, we didn't turn the ball over and we got second shots. We really hurt them on the boards.
gotta team understand
You gotta understand what I?m about, ... This is a team sport.
cut extra fully guys importance lead maybe pass percent saw shot though three understand
Even though they shot over 60 percent in the first half, we still cut the lead to seven. But once we cut the lead to seven, it's like I never saw a pass after that. They always make the extra pass, sometimes two or three of them. We have a lot of young guys who maybe don't fully understand the importance of the little things.
missed
Even in the overtime, ... Eddy missed one and Jamal missed a wide-open jumper ...
believe
Believe me. This isn't going to be the same team.
break guys offensive run
Big guys can run on the break and get to the offensive board.
