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.
behind hard played points shots stuck time
They scored 30 points every quarter. They executed great. They made shots and we had a hard time guarding them all night. They played great, Calderon was great, he got everyone involved. We were stuck behind all night.
ahead behind change figure games good last leave lost number reasons
There's a number of reasons why we've lost games. That's behind us. There's nothing we can do to change that right now. We've got to look ahead and figure out how we can get better. That's the thing, and the last two games doesn't leave me with a good feeling.
behind ben few looked playing
He's playing on one leg, and he was phenomenal. I looked a few times, and Ben was behind him, and you couldn't see him.
behind bigger butler david guys hard jackie kids lee level nowhere rest takes worked
He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.
behind change dirty foul guys hard issue trying
I don't look at it that way. I don't think any of them are guys trying to make a hard foul or a dirty foul. They're trying to set a screen. The issue is, when a guy comes up behind you, you can't see, so you can't change direction, and you're going to probably take a blow.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ballplayers. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard twos and quick enough to guard ones.
ball caught guard quick steve strong
We just want ball players. I don't get caught up in positions. I think Steve is strong enough to guard 2s and quick enough to guard 1s.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
advantage player team
What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
