amazed david home jackson night restraint situation stern trouble
I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.
home trouble
Antonio would be in a lot more trouble if he went home and hadn't done anything.
home trouble
He'd be in a lot more trouble when he got at home if he didn't do what he did.
coach enjoy game guys happy help home needed team ways
I'm happy for the team that they can go home and enjoy this game and be energized. For me, I'm going to try to find ways to coach better and help these guys. I can feel better because these guys needed something positive.
great happy home locker needed positive relax team
If I thought we were disorganized, I would have called time. Jamal just made a great play ... I'm happy for the team they can go home and relax and be energized. In that locker room, they needed something positive to happen.
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.

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.

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.

We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.

What team wouldn't want to take advantage of a player like that?

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.
