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.
best chance difficult figure since winning
We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.
aggressive carry certainly decision difference feels high level played playing since worry
I think to play him and have this thing carry on is really unfair. I want it to be his decision (to come back) when he feels comfortable he can play and not worry about getting hit, because he certainly hasn't played the same way since the injury. He's not aggressive at all. You can really tell the difference because he was playing at such a high level before that.
difficult since
That's been the most difficult thing since I got here. It can't be about any one individual. It's got to be about the team.
bounce confidence games hitting lost period rookies shot since
I think all our rookies are kind of going through a period now where they're kind of hitting a wall. I think their confidence is probably shot a little bit, since they've lost more games now than they've probably lost in their whole career. They'll bounce back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
