accomplish bad figure five matter team
We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better.
bad body commented good love numerous rarely smile watched
I've watched him forever. I very rarely see him smile or get excited. I'd love to see that. I don't know if that's his nature. I've commented to him numerous times that when things are going bad we have to have him with good body language.
bad beginning francis good horrible impact missed steve third
We didn't have Steve Francis with us in practice, and that's going to impact us. We missed a lot of good shots. We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.
badly fans phenomenal
I want badly for us to do well, because of the fans here, ... They've been phenomenal over the years.
bad checked chest lose lost pains plane year
I have chest pains after every bad game. Nothing has changed. I feel bad when we lose and this has been a year when we've lost a lot so it's not something that's fun. But Lisa just thought I need to get checked before I got on the plane (Wednesday night).
bad envy game mind seconds
I didn't look at it as a bad thing. I put him back in the game (with 18 seconds left) to have him guard. I don't mind that; I envy that.
bad beginning horrible third
We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.
badly beat behind hopefully inside james presence somebody
Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.
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.
badly coach excited felt fun game good guys trying
When you're a coach and you see guys trying and you don't get a win, you want badly for something good to happen, ... I sensed after the game they really felt good about it, they were excited about it. That was fun to see.
affect bad ball believe compound effort generally hustle kids strongly talk turn understanding
I look around, the young kids can make a mistake, but it's generally with effort and that will go a long way to correcting itself, ... We've got to get all of us doing that, because you're going to make mistakes. Take a bad shot, turn the ball over. It's going to happen, but you can't compound it by not doing your job, and understanding the trust, I always talk about trust, if I don't hustle back I affect my whole team, and I have to believe strongly enough not to ever let that happen.
badly good happy hear hopefully hurt last ready serious spoke time
I'm happy to hear he's not really hurt as badly as he could have been. I spoke to him today. This would have been a good time for him, the last 16 games. It's not something that serious and hopefully he'll be ready for the summer.
badly good gotten great happy hear hurt last rookie time
I'm happy to hear he's not hurt as badly as he could have been. This would have been a good time for him in the last 16 games. He would have gotten more opportunity. But he had a great rookie year.
bad
Channing couldn't get out. That's a bad play on my part.
