finding gotta guys hope looked people
I looked out there and it looked like a lot of guys just didn't care. That's tough, but you gotta keep finding the people that do (care) and hope you have enough of them.
beat fun good looked playing playoff summer team
I looked out on the court, we had our summer team out there to beat a pretty good team. You know we are playing a playoff team and competing, and it was really fun to watch.
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.
guard looked points
It's the same old same old. We can't guard anyone. They got 33 points on the break. It looked like that could have had 100.
develop eight guys kids looked rotation similar worry worrying
We really have too many young guys right now. You look at Riley's team, he didn't have to worry about the ninth, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th guy worrying about playing. He had eight guys that he played. I don't even think he looked at the other seven. If we're going to be good, you've got to get down to a rotation similar to that and develop your young kids the right way.
acting looked
We were acting like we just wanted to get home, It looked that way, didn't it? Didn't it look that way to you. It looked that way to me.
came case either halftime looked points second third
At halftime I think out of 47 points, 27 of them came out of either turnovers or second shots. And then in the third quarter, I think we were down 24, I looked they had 28 points off turnovers and we had two. And I think that's been the case all year.
behind ben few looked playing
He's playing on one leg, and he was phenomenal. I looked a few times, and Ben was behind him, and you couldn't see him.
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.
