break good guard job points
Same old, same old - we can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. They had 33 points on the break and could have had 100.
break guys offensive run
Big guys can run on the break and get to the offensive board.
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.
answer break evaluate heard until
I heard he said he was out until the All-Star break, so I don't have to answer it any more. That's what I heard, so he's out until the All-Star break and we'll evaluate after the All-Star break.
assess break chance direction good pieces time until
The direction is not going the way we would all like and we've got to do something about that. This is a pretty good time from now until All-Star break to kind of assess where we're going, but I do really feel good about a lot of the pieces here and I think a lot of them have a chance to get a lot better.
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.
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.
