behind hard played points shots stuck time
They scored 30 points every quarter. They executed great. They made shots and we had a hard time guarding them all night. They played great, Calderon was great, he got everyone involved. We were stuck behind all night.
bring guys
A lot of guys didn't bring it tonight. We had a lot of guys who were just out there.
game happen love played seem thousand
A lot of things that happen off the court, that I don't think are big deals, here seem to be magnified a thousand percent. It's part of it. But that's why I love being here, because if you ever played the right way, our game will be better for it.
beginning committed determine extra good guts guys hustle maybe
A lot of what you just said is going to determine who's going to play. The guys that are committed to hustle back, make the extra pass, take the good shot, are probably the ones who are going to be out there in the guts of the game, or maybe at the beginning of the game.
fault fourth great guys horrendous quarter trying
They made plays. We didn't make plays. That's been our MO I can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
hopeful
They got him in a splint, he's hopeful he'll be back.
drink riding
They drink a lotta beer, do a lotta riding around; I drink a lotta beer, do a lotta riding around.
brought people
They had a lot of people who brought it.
cares coach everybody good help knows players respect supportive wants
They respect Mr. Dolan and know he cares and wants to do everything he can to help us win. But it's up to us to coach better and the players to play better. Everybody knows how supportive he is, and I think that's a good thing.
ahead behind change figure games good last leave lost number reasons
There's a number of reasons why we've lost games. That's behind us. There's nothing we can do to change that right now. We've got to look ahead and figure out how we can get better. That's the thing, and the last two games doesn't leave me with a good feeling.
came case either halftime looked points second third
At halftime I think out of 47 points, 27 of them came out of either turnovers or second shots. And then in the third quarter, I think we were down 24, I looked they had 28 points off turnovers and we had two. And I think that's been the case all year.
ball call maybe points rest score shoot team walk year
As I told the team, maybe we'll walk the ball up the rest of the year and call a play every time, so the other team can't score 120 points and shoot 57%.
supposed
That's fun. That's the way we're supposed to play.
ends fun hopeful names period soon
That's not my place. I'm hopeful this ends soon because it's never any fun to go through a period like this and read your names in the paper.
