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.
plays run seems start
It seems when we get into a fight, we start going too much as individuals. I didn't see us run many plays at all.
discipline lack people run start tough
It's a tough loss. People start making a run at us and we feel like it's the end of the world. We just lack discipline when things get tough.
asking high might playing reflect terms
It wasn't only him (who was injured) at the time. But he was playing at such a high level. The first 30, 40 games, I thought he got better every game. His stats might not reflect that, but just in terms of what we were asking him to do. It set us way back and it set him way back.
mind talking trade tried
I tried to get his mind off this. We were talking about our team, the Minnesota-Boston trade and just what's going on in the league.
suit tried
I tried to get him to suit up.
gives hopefully killer lose opportunity people player quality
It's a killer when you lose a quality player like him, especially when you're struggling. It's tough. The way things are going, it gives some other people an opportunity to play and hopefully they get better because of the experience.
coach game key treat
It's all about making shots. The key to a Game 7 for a coach is to treat it like any other game.
city fight proves
It proves you can occasionally fight City Hall.
bowl seven won
I told them we're bowl eligible. We won seven games.
shut
It's not something where we'll have to shut him down.
affect change coach hopeful lifestyle maybe resolve walk whether
It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.
guard looked points
It's the same old same old. We can't guard anyone. They got 33 points on the break. It looked like that could have had 100.
