building defense games help last learn maybe playing shade steps
We can use these last 12 games to at least learn the first steps to building a defense. Maybe that'll help us. I don't know. We're not playing any shade of defense right now.
cares coming game love question ruling stern supposed tells uncertain wonder
The question to me is, what do we do? You kind of can see where (commissioner David) Stern is coming from, but I wonder if he's at a game and it's someone he cares about. What would he do? What are we supposed to do? This ruling tells us, again, in no uncertain terms, don't go in the stands. So now my question is, what do we do if someone we love is getting attacked?
cards games last learn maybe steps
It is what it is. The cards have been dealt, we have to play them. We have to concentrate on getting better on defense. We have to use the last 12 games to learn the steps of getting better. Maybe that will help, I don't know.
easy game gets mantra open opposed pass sharing
It always reverts back to sharing the ball, making the easy pass as opposed to the spectacular pass, ... His whole mantra is keep the game simple. If a guy's more open than you are, he gets the ball.
blown chance competing controlled game learn losing majority ourselves putting step types win
It's real tough, losing a game that you controlled the majority of. But I always try to look at the positive. At least we're not getting blown out now. We're competing and putting ourselves in a chance to win games. We just have to take that all-important step and learn how to win those types of games.
basketball everybody games nba players shaped
All the basketball players in the city, the NBA guys, the coaches, everybody told me to go see Herb. He's shaped the games of so many players.
athletic inside seen shoot
I've seen him do some athletic things and play well inside the 3-point line. But I've never seen him shoot like that.
bother days feet hearing hit imagine next price punching sitting somebody tall tough
It was tough for me sitting next to him and hearing (the fans), so, I can imagine what it was like for him. It's like somebody two feet tall just punching you and punching you, and you can't hit them back. It's so frustrating, but Al never let it bother him. Some days were better than others, but he never complained about it. It was just the price of fame.
argue handle mainly plenty says yelled
I've been yelled at plenty of times so I know how to handle it. I mainly keep quiet. You can't argue back. With him, when he says something, you can't say, 'Well I was doing this.' You just have to take it.
guys playing worried
I've been playing guys like that all my life. I'm not worried about that.
beating check definitely equipped heart inside legs shirts sustain takes team
You got two legs and two feet, a beating heart and a brain, you're equipped to play defense. I think this team definitely has what it takes to play defense. We just have to check what's inside our shirts to see if we're going to sustain that.
chance good motivation quit today
There's motivation there. All we can say is we didn't quit today and there's a good chance we'll see each other in the lottery, too.
learn patient yelling
Yeah, it's real hard, ... It's not like anybody's slacking. We're out there trying, and then, all of a sudden, he's out there yelling at you: 'You didn't do this right! You didn't do that right!' It's frustrating. You've got to be real patient and learn how to take constructive criticism.
blown learn step
We have to look at the positives. We are competing. We are not getting blown out. We now have to take that all-important step and learn how to win.
