beginning five four front good indicator nobody plays
At the beginning of the game, the first four or five plays they just got to the front of the rim with nobody helping. That was a pretty good indicator of how it went.
ball crucial four free gave missed plays shot six straight three throws turned
We had four straight possessions. We called something and never got into any of them. Never got into any of the plays we were calling. We had crucial turnovers. We had a three-second , a missed dunk, turned the ball over, a charge. We gave them six straight free throws and had three possessions where we didn't get a shot up.
defended hard kids played plays reward together
I was thrilled. The young kids have been working hard and it shows. They played together well and they defended well, made some big plays and that's a reward in itself.
against almost front good guard job keeping people plays script trouble
We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.
plays run seems start
It seems when we get into a fight, we start going too much as individuals. I didn't see us run many plays at all.
gave guard highlight plays seven six
There is no way you can guard if you don't compete. We gave up about six or seven plays that will be on highlight film.
effort hustle played plays
We made some hustle plays that got us back. We played hard. The effort was there, and that was big.
aggressive create eight good looking plays shots
I reiterated to him that he can't have seven, eight shots a game. He's got to be looking to make plays . . . The more aggressive he is looking to take shots, the better he'll become. I want him to take as many good shots as he can, and by doing that, he'll create for others.
caught games great heard hope hurt next played playing plays teammates wants win
I hope he wants what I want. I hope he wants to win games, make his teammates better. That's the only thing that really matters. I heard he wants to play like Allen. I heard he wants us to play like Phoenix. I don't get caught up in that. I thought he was playing great and if he plays like he played before he got hurt we'll win games next year.
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?
