Our effort was great. We tried to do things the right way. We were a little unorganized on offence but I kind of felt that would happen.

Our effort was great, ... Our young kids were terrific.
carries commented effort hard leaders nice tony
One of the refs commented to me how hard they were trying. That's nice to hear. Tony Davis' effort was phenomenal. Leaders do that, and it carries over.
battling benefit crazy effort hope kids situations
I look out there and Channing was battling like crazy with 14 rebounds. His effort was great. You hope kids benefit in situations like that.

We made some hustle plays that got us back. We played hard. The effort was there, and that was big.
effort love win
I just love the effort tonight. But when you don't have the win that makes it tough.

Their effort was phenomenal. They made hustle play after hustle play.
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.
believe commitment defensive detroit effort good san team terms toughness
If you don't really play hard, you have no chance. Can we be the kind of defensive team San Antonio or Detroit are? No. I don't think we have the personnel. Can we be a good defensive team? Yes. I really believe we've lacked the commitment in terms of effort and the toughness in terms of having a mind-set and a trust.
effort eight matched minutes
I didn't think we, other than the first seven, eight minutes (of the game), matched their energy. Their effort was phenomenal.

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.

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.
