butler chance giving good guys hope jackie kid lose minutes particular playing somebody win
You guys want me to play the young guys and Jackie Butler has been pretty good. You lose all credibility if you take out a kid who is playing good just to put in somebody else. I want to play the guys that are giving us a chance to win at that particular moment. My hope is that Eddy Curry can play 40 minutes every game.
die everywhere fans felt game giving heart situation watch
I die every game that any of our fans has to watch or (Dolan) has to watch. Hey, everywhere I've been, every place I've ever coached, I always felt we were getting better. I've never been in a situation where I didn't know in my heart we weren't getting better. And I'm not giving up here.
giving good maybe
Maybe we are giving effort. Maybe we aren't good enough.
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.
giving
I'm in this for the long haul. I told everybody, 'I'm not giving up. I know it's going to get better.
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.
bad beginning horrible third
We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.
