false games practice time winning
When you don't have practice time and you get away with winning some games, you get a false sense of who you are.
build comment further great happy hard hopefully practice worked
Nah, that had nothing to do with it. I'm not going to comment any further on it. I'm just happy he worked hard and, you know, he had a great practice today. Hopefully we'll build on that.
camp certainly hard late practice realize strengths training
It's been a struggle. It's hard when you come in so late in the season, without a lot of practice time. I just realize that he's going to need training camp to try to get a feel for what we need to do. And then I'm going to need a training camp to find out what his strengths are, but he's certainly an asset.
francis impact practice steve
This is a process. We didn't have Steve Francis with us in practice and that's going to impact us.
buy determines guy practice
I don't need a guy who doesn't want to buy in. How you play, how you practice and how you act determines how much you play.
beat defend dribble expect open road
When you get beat on dribble penetration, it's going to open up a lot of things. You can't defend on the road like this and expect to win.
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.
anybody figured frustrated year
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. Anybody who is not frustrated with what's going on this year is not being real. I think we all are frustrated. The only thing I've ever figured out is you have to try harder.
players talked talking
We were talking about our team, I kind of let him know about what our players are doing. And then we talked about the Minnesota-Boston trade.
settled since
We kind of got healthy. That was a key. Since we got healthy, we've settled on a rotation. That's been helpful.
games losing
We're not losing games because of him. We're losing games because of me and our team.
chance
We didn't get a win, but we had a chance to win.
bad beginning horrible third
We had a bad beginning and a horrible third quarter.
almost highlight richard seven six
We got killed and they got anything they wanted. It was almost like they were scripting plays. We didn't compete. There were about six or seven things that are going to be the highlight film. And we are the ones that are going to be in it with Vince, Richard and Jason.
