ball great looks moved playing quality road win
They've (Indiana) been playing great and I know this wasn't one of their better games, but it was a quality win on the road for us. We moved the ball great and got a lot of great looks because of it.
believe help movement trade
We got Steve. I think if you look at the movement in the league, that was a pretty significant trade and I really believe he'll help us.
coach meant move people rest sorry teammates
I told him I wanted him to listen. I told him I appreciated the way he cheered for his teammates at the end of (Wednesday's) game. It meant a lot. I was sorry that the crowd, some of the people booed him. And I told him I just wanted him to let us coach him the rest of the year. He's not going anywhere, and let's move on.

ball everybody gave great moved nicest open people playing quality road shots tempo together trying win
It's a quality win for us on the road. We moved the ball great and got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play ... You look at the stat sheet, and the nicest thing for me is I feel like a lot of people are playing together and trying to make everybody better.
ball gave moved open road shots tempo
We moved the ball great, got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play.
ball chance defend figure grind guard hopeful move people score stop value ways
I think we have to figure out ways to stop people first. I always figure if you can guard people you don't have to score as much. I was hopeful we would value the ball a little better. My thing is, who is going to grind it out, defend and have a chance to guard people, and then we'll move on.
buy coach everybody move responsibility
My responsibility is to try to coach everybody and try to make everybody better. And when you find out that there's some that don't want to buy in, then you've really got to move on.
ball experience feed guy guys move open problem understand year
That's been a big problem all year - we haven't had facilitators, guys that move the ball. We need more guys with experience that understand when a guy is open and who can feed the ball to the post.
fun loved played shared trying watch
I loved the effort. We shared the ball, and it was more fun to watch with them trying like they did. We played hard, and we played unselfishly. I thought we were ready.
game loved people tried
I loved the way he was aggressive, ... I loved the way he tried to get other people involved. I loved the way he tried to guard. I told the people before the game he would play great.
caught coaching expected games hope people race trying won
I never expected this. But again, I don't get caught up in records. It's disappointing, obviously, that we've only won 19 games and we're not in the race for the playoffs, but the only thing you can keep doing is trying to get better, keep coaching and hope that people understand.
struggled sure teams
I'm sure I've been 0-3 a lot, ... And most of my teams have struggled early.

I know what we have. You guys know what we have. There's no audition. That audition stuff has been over a long time.
