fact guard hard phenomenal shooting watching
I've just been watching him all year. He's had phenomenal nights, phenomenal shooting nights. He had it going and the fact is it's hard to guard a lot of these perimeter guards.
confidence guys high minutes night playing sensitive stop trying
I've had confidence we were going to be better, but I didn't know who to play. I think you get sensitive trying to find out who's going to get minutes each night and you stop coaching. A lot of guys have contributed and are playing at a high level.
figure passion
I've got to figure out a way to get some passion.
game
The game got away from us during the first two minutes.
excuses front guard improved kept people smart talk team
You've got to be smart and your team has got to talk and you've got to adjust. We can make excuses about that but we have not improved that area. We have not kept people in front of us very well. It's something we've just got to keep working on and working on, because if we don't, you'll never be able to guard in this league.
advantage far finding good great inside job open size tempo
(The Hornets) just did a great job of controlling the tempo and finding the open people. We had far too many turnovers and when we had an advantage with size inside we just didn't do a good job.
control guard nine quarter
You can't guard him. He's phenomenal. We had nine turnovers in the first quarter and you can't guard him in transition. I think once we got better control of the tempo, we did a better job.
fault fourth game great guts guys horrendous mistakes overcome quarter time trying win
You can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win the game. But when you make mistakes during the guts of the game and you don't have time to overcome them, it magnifies the mistakes. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
