asked coached days deal everybody game next spoken tries win
I've spoken to you after 28 games, and there was one game I was disappointed and I said that. Everybody makes a big deal (about it), I coached him (Marbury) for the next two days just like I always coached him. He's done what I asked and tries to win the game.
feels good team tries
It feels good. I always feel good after a team tries hard,
amazing block dunk next tries
He does an amazing job. Even if you dunk on him he tries to get back and block the next one.
basketball difficult fun messing player taking tries watch
I don't know if he's ready, but he tries every day. We've been messing around with him there. It's kind of fun to watch him. There's going to be some difficult things for him, but I think it will make him a better basketball player taking on that responsibility.
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?
people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
ball free gave hot missed throws turning
We missed some free throws that gave them a little life. We started turning the ball over. They (Indiana) got hot and we didn't have an answer.
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.
accomplish bad figure five matter team
We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better.
believe help movement trade
We got Steve. I think if you look at the movement in the league, that was a pretty significant trade and I really believe he'll help us.
