becomes confused easy shot
I think the three-pointer has merit, but I'm a little confused about the distance. I don't want it to be such an easy shot that it really becomes more important than anything, because I don't think that's the purpose.
chicago easy good great hope situation team
He's a Chicago kid. That team had a great future. I don't know if it's ever easy being traded. My hope is that this is a good situation for him.
easy figure finding giving larry maybe saying telling trying win
He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out.
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.
easy good guys help job knows players style team understand
You don't have players on the team that can't play a style that's comfortable for the coach. Isiah and I understand that. He knows the guys I like in the league. It's not easy to make trades. My job is to find out what these guys can do and if they can do the things we think will help us be a good team for the long run.
basket easy key
He can get you an easy basket at any time, he'll make an easy pass, he'll get a key rebound, he's just so solid.
beat defend dribble expect open road
When you get beat on dribble penetration, it's going to open up a lot of things. You can't defend on the road like this and expect to win.
false games practice time winning
When you don't have practice time and you get away with winning some games, you get a false sense of who you are.
anybody game last looked night
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. The last two games, obviously, were really disappointing in a lot of ways. I looked at the end of the game last night and I didn't see anybody quitting.
anybody figured frustrated year
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. Anybody who is not frustrated with what's going on this year is not being real. I think we all are frustrated. The only thing I've ever figured out is you have to try harder.
players talked talking
We were talking about our team, I kind of let him know about what our players are doing. And then we talked about the Minnesota-Boston trade.
settled since
We kind of got healthy. That was a key. Since we got healthy, we've settled on a rotation. That's been helpful.
games losing
We're not losing games because of him. We're losing games because of me and our team.
chance
We didn't get a win, but we had a chance to win.
