cut extra fully guys importance lead maybe pass percent saw shot though three understand
Even though they shot over 60 percent in the first half, we still cut the lead to seven. But once we cut the lead to seven, it's like I never saw a pass after that. They always make the extra pass, sometimes two or three of them. We have a lot of young guys who maybe don't fully understand the importance of the little things.
coached david except helps hurt hurts rotation san settled three year
I've never coached that way, where we've never had a set rotation, except my first year in San Antonio, we had a lot of injuries. That's really hurt the team. It hurts your progress. All of a sudden, we settled on David at the three and we have the three-guard rotation for the most part. It helps everybody, I think.
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.
five maybe million three
We're what, about 1.6, 1.7 million now? I think we need to be around 2 million. Maybe in three or five years we'll be ready.
capable chances lost ready three trying understand win winning
We got to be ready to play our first game, ... We've lost three times. Again, I'm trying to tell them we had chances to win all three. So don't feel like you're not capable of winning games. And try to understand what we need to do better.
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.
ball maybe ran stuff three tonight
You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.
against bothered defense hard stopping three time zone
We had a hard time stopping them. Their zone bothered us. We had to come down against a set defense for most of the first three quarters.
blown chance far games good last needed three win
We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.
field four kept man played run six three
He was phenomenal. I kept (Curry) in with four fouls and we made a little run and then boom, he's out of the game. No blocks, six fouls, three turnovers, no assists, two-for-seven from the field and his man played with unbelievable energy.
foul guys recall three
I don't recall the play. We would never foul if we were down three points. I wanted our guys to go for steals.
against coaching good hate honest job nba people playing pressure puts quality season speed step three
I really didn't know what to expect, to be honest with you. You hate to put three of them out there together, playing in an NBA season against quality teams. That puts a lot of pressure on them. But they're good kids, they want to get better. It's going to speed up their growth, so we have to have some other people step up and we have to do a better job coaching them. But they're getting better.
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.
