anyone good starters
We made them play their starters big minutes. That's what you want, but their starters are as good as anyone in the league.
bit defend guys handle joe looking open putting shots team together
Joe is the description of what they're looking for. When you're putting a team together you're looking for guys who can do a little bit of everything. You want guys that can score, handle the ball, pass, defend and make shots in the open court. Joe can do all of those things.
again biggest came cap joe shot tip
Joe came up big again tonight. You have to tip your cap to him, he made the biggest shot of the night.
bottom goes huge joe line piece saying terms trying turning ultimately
I think it goes without saying that Joe is a huge piece to what we're trying to do in terms of turning this thing around and ultimately making the playoffs, which is the bottom line and why I'm here.
few hurt mix percent pickup run sure tests training
He hurt it the other day during a pickup game, and we just wanted to run a few tests to make sure everything was fine. We wanted to make sure he was 100 percent before we put him out there in the mix for training camp.
couple currently great league mesh talent wait
He is a great young talent in our league and when you couple him with the young talent we currently have on the roster, I can't wait to see them mesh as a unit.
defend figure improve mediocre rebound teams time until
Until we figure out that we're not going to outscore teams all the time and that we'll have to defend and rebound before we think about scoring, we're going to be a mediocre team. That's something we're going to have to improve on this summer.
finish free line reputation team throw
We can't get a reputation for being a team that can't get to the free throw line and can't finish games.
believe guys locker played room team west
We played every West team pretty good. It's not like we can't compete, but those guys in the locker room had to believe they can win.
cutting games happens lead setting sharing
We got complacent. That's what happens in games like this. We did everything to get the lead right away by sharing the ball, cutting and setting screens. But when they stiffened up their defense, we just settled.
fought hurt maintain stay striking struggled within zone
We fought hard. Their zone hurt us early, and we struggled a little bit, but we were still able to maintain and stay within striking distance.
exhausted figure fought ourselves struggled trying
We fought back and exhausted ourselves trying to get back in the game. We've got to figure out how to play back-to-back (games). We've struggled with that all year.
games needed played win
We haven't had many games like that where we weren't in the game. Give them credit, they needed the win and they played like it.
credit fighting games
We haven't had games like this where we're not even in the game. Give Philadelphia credit because they're fighting for something (playoffs). That's where I want to be with this team.
