aware shoot
I wasn't aware how well he could shoot the ball, ... He can really shoot it.
biggest easier experience growing kids mind somebody
My biggest thing is these young kids need some experience on the perimeter. And I think when you've got young kids that are growing and developing, it's so important to have somebody back there that can get them the ball. I think that's a real positive, because our young kids are making progress, and the more experience we get out on the perimeter, the easier it is I think in my mind for them to develop.
life
We haven't survived, with him or without him. I mean, I'm on life support.
acted break easy front games keeping last letting people pull six
We just acted like we wanted to get home. We have games like this. We've had a lot of them. You really break the film down and show the last game, just five, six minutes. You can pull out any film; they're all the same - letting (teams) take the easy basket, not getting back on defense, not keeping people in front of you.
cowardly honorable life peace
You have to do something in your life that is honorable and not cowardly if you are to live in peace with yourself, and for the firefighter it is fire.
matter ought run wherever
Wherever I've been it's always been about team. That's the only thing that really matters. If that doesn't matter you ought to run track, play golf, play tennis, things like that.
drive jump shot
Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!
ball maybe ran stuff three tonight
You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.
guard mind needed puts
We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender.
capable chances lost ready three trying understand win winning
We got to be ready to play our first game, ... We've lost three times. Again, I'm trying to tell them we had chances to win all three. So don't feel like you're not capable of winning games. And try to understand what we need to do better.
beat block create field free goal high line loose shots throw
We get beat on turnovers every night. We can't get to the free throw line as much as our opponent, we don't create turnovers or block shots (or) get loose balls. So that's the end result, we give up a lot of points, a high field goal percentage.
gave lack loose near people points terms
We gave up 35 points on turnovers and I don't think we got near a loose ball. I think most of that was effort. We can point to a lot of people in terms of lack of effort.
against almost front good guard job keeping people plays script trouble
We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.
almost care impossible success
We can't give up. If you don't take care of the basketball, it's going to be almost impossible to have any success at all.
