begging compete david kept looking played
We've had a lot of those rallies with some of the young players. It was fun. David kept begging out, and I kept looking the other way because he played . But it was good. If you can compete like that every night, that's real important.
establish hurt normal people
We've had so many people hurt at different times we've never been able to establish any normal rotations.
entirely great opportunity smart worried
Well, if he's miffed he's not as smart as I think he is. I'm not worried about it. He had a great practice. He'll have an opportunity to play. It's entirely up to him.
pat sit stand
To sit here and think that we're going to stand pat is kind of silly.

We all went to him. We all talked to him ... What are you going to say?
cents principle
Two cents really isn't a big deal, it's the principle of it.
gotten kids team
We have a different team now. I think the young kids have gotten better.
few lead league points press trouble
We lead the league in turnovers. Did you see them press on us? It's every game. We have few assists and a lot of turnovers. As much as we have trouble as we have guarding people, to give up 30 points on turnovers, it's even more difficult.
bottom rock
We've been rock bottom for a long time.
bring decided exactly happened hard reluctant team watched work
We were reluctant to (go). We went out, watched it and it did bring us together. (The team in the movie) didn't do well at the beginning, but after hard work and discipline, they decided to come together. That's exactly what happened for us.
ball defense early foul interior second shooting talk team trouble turning
We can talk all we want, but if the team is shooting 65% and we're turning the ball over and we get in early foul trouble you can't make it a high-possession game. The second half, we didn't make it a high-possession game. We don't have the interior defense right now if we do get beat. We can't play like them.
blown chance far games good last needed three win
We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.
came cautious flu gave people permission stay worse
I got the flu and some people thought it was worse than that, so Lisa was being cautious and told me to stay away, Isiah told me to stay away, and when she gave me permission to come back I came back.
anybody chance ourselves pride wants win
If they play like this, we'll give ourselves a chance to win some games. I think that's all anybody in New York's asking, that's all Isiah wants and that's all I want. Just try to have some pride in the way we play.
