maybe trying
The way I look at it, maybe some of them can't do what I ask. I don't want to look at them and say they're not trying. Maybe they just can't and that's what we're trying to find out.
cut extra fully guys importance lead maybe pass percent saw shot though three understand
Even though they shot over 60 percent in the first half, we still cut the lead to seven. But once we cut the lead to seven, it's like I never saw a pass after that. They always make the extra pass, sometimes two or three of them. We have a lot of young guys who maybe don't fully understand the importance of the little things.
five maybe million three
We're what, about 1.6, 1.7 million now? I think we need to be around 2 million. Maybe in three or five years we'll be ready.
maybe nights shoot
I think he just didn't want to shoot the ball. I thought he'd have 15, 20 assists. It was just one of those nights where maybe he didn't feel like he was on.
decisions game maybe ok trying win
Maybe some of Jamal's decisions were a little misguided, but I know he's trying to win the game so I'm OK with that.
decisions maybe
Maybe some of his decisions were a little misguided.
maybe organized
Maybe I'm wrong, but if I look at the young guys, wouldn't you think they were kind of organized and had a feel for what was going on?
comeback floor kids late maybe perfectly positive thrilled
Maybe if we'd have had some possessions that were a little better later, we wouldn't have had to play perfectly at the end. But I was thrilled with the way they competed, having young kids out on the floor late and making a comeback like that. It's just disappointing, but there were some positive things with our young kids.
ball maybe ran stuff three tonight
You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.
maybe
Maybe when you play Miami, you need 36 fouls in the middle; I don't know,
giving good maybe
Maybe we are giving effort. Maybe we aren't good enough.
affect change coach hopeful lifestyle maybe resolve walk whether
It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.
basketball conference eight hockey maybe played six stack teams terms twice
When I was a kid, they had six hockey teams, they had eight to 10 basketball teams. The teams played each other once, twice a week. Maybe we should stack (the schedule) a little in terms of conference games.
beginning committed determine extra good guts guys hustle maybe
A lot of what you just said is going to determine who's going to play. The guys that are committed to hustle back, make the extra pass, take the good shot, are probably the ones who are going to be out there in the guts of the game, or maybe at the beginning of the game.
