chemistry gets mean means potential talent
Talent doesn't mean anything. Chemistry means everything. Potential gets you beat.
boston both game huge meant played teams
It's important both teams get better. If you look at what Boston meant to our league, every game they played was a huge rivalry.
believe gave good knows obviously traded
I told Eddy we obviously traded for him and gave up a lot because we really believe in him. He's the cornerstone. I look at him as our future. Him and Channing (Frye) . I don't know if he knows how good we think he can be.
bottom eventually five guys happy line nine rotation
The bottom line is we don't have a rotation, we don't know who can play. So it's going to take time. Eventually we're going to have an eight- or nine-man rotation and we'll probably have nine happy guys and five that are unhappy.
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.
kids
That's not fair! ... These kids are working their tails off!
ahead correct defensive explain extra
That's not fair. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how to explain the turnovers, the defensive breakdowns, how we don't make the extra pass. But you can't look back. You have to look ahead and try to correct it.
fall saw wife worried
That's his wife up there. We were worried about Kendra. He saw her fall back and someone flailing.
concerned entirely happened man phenomenal stands
That's his wife. It's entirely different ... It was a phenomenal game. The thing that happened in the stands had nothing to do with it. A man was concerned about his family.
aggressive coming heard people
Coming in the league, a lot of people have heard he wasn't aggressive or physical, and with all rookies, he'll be challenged,
seen sit watch
Did you watch it? I still haven't seen it. I'd like to sit down and watch it.
badly beat behind hopefully inside james presence somebody
Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.
