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.
believe confidence great listening players settle talking
I think he's got a great feel for the game. He's got experience. I believe he can settle us down. He's been great for me. He contributes a lot, in a lot of ways, just talking to him and listening to what he says, suggestions he makes. And when he plays, players have a lot of confidence in him.
areas good needed talking three
Those are three areas we were talking about. We needed to do a good job, especially on the road. So that's disappointing.
active commenting players talking
I'm not commenting on Jerome. He's not on the active list. I'm talking about active players right now.
mind talking trade tried
I tried to get his mind off this. We were talking about our team, the Minnesota-Boston trade and just what's going on in the league.
camp explaining felt guys hardest included job kids last outside ready showing talking telling terms training
Allan told me after I got the job one of the hardest things for him was the last two years he's kind of felt a little outside in terms of telling guys things he thought were obvious. He didn't feel like he was included as much. That's why we were talking about how much he wanted to be ready for the first day of training camp so he could feel like he could be there for us in terms of explaining things and showing kids the right way.
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.
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.
