active commenting players talking
I'm not commenting on Jerome. He's not on the active list. I'm talking about active players right now.
act aggressive came few game people run tried trying
During the game I tried to run a few things for him and he said he couldn't. He was trying to get other people involved, so I just told him to be aggressive and act like you're trying to score. He was struggling, but he came through under the circumstances.
acting looked
We were acting like we just wanted to get home, It looked that way, didn't it? Didn't it look that way to you. It looked that way to me.
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.
acted chest ovation point points pump standing trying
I was just trying to point out to him, you get a standing ovation and pump your chest and Allen's got 25,000 points and he acted like (it was) no big deal.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
game loved people tried
I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.
caught coaching expected games hope people race trying won
I never expected this. But again, I don't get caught up in records. It's disappointing, obviously, that we've only won 19 games and we're not in the race for the playoffs, but the only thing you can keep doing is trying to get better, keep coaching and hope that people understand.
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.
audition guys stuff
I know what we have. You guys know what we have. There's no audition. That audition stuff has been over a long time.
amazing asked bad paid positive record
It's sometimes amazing to me, you see our record and you see how positive he is. I feel bad. I'm being paid a lot of money, I've been asked to do something, make changes, make us better, and I feel bad that it's going like this.
best career everybody guys hold looks physically shooter special spend
It's so special when guys spend their whole career with one team. (Reggie) still looks like he can play to me. I think everybody used to say that physically he wouldn't hold up. He's amazing. He's the best shooter I've ever been around.
gets painful
It's sore. It's going to be painful if he gets hit.
wind
It's not going to be as bad. The wind will be a lot lower.
