both bringing experience guys nba
Both of these guys we're bringing in have NBA experience,
both ends great point starting talked time together
It's something I talked to A.J. about. At some point it was probably going to be time to make that switch. A.J. has been great about communicating back with me about it. Jermaine and Tinsley need to be together in the starting lineup on both ends of the floor.
both ends night quarter reason seem stagnant won
It just didn't seem like we were really right all night. I don't have a reason why that is. Even in the first quarter when we won it by two. We were stagnant at both ends and never really got anything sustained.
best both healthy held injured normally
It comes down to what's best for him and the team. It's best for both to try to get as healthy as possible. I know it's frustrating for him that he can't play the way he normally plays, because he's being held back (by the injured ankle).
against both certain chance court ends good ourselves perfect precise win
We're doing some things better, but we're not a perfect team. We have to do things a certain way and we have to be very precise at both ends of the court to give ourselves a chance to win against good teams, especially on the road.
both game position precarious urgency
We are in a precarious position right now. Nothing is a lock. To make the playoffs, we will have to have more of a sense of urgency at both ends. Tonight's game was a setback.
both couple defensive games good hard last priority run
We'd like to get out and run and do some good things on offense. But if you can't get the stops, it's going to be hard to do that. We're going to have to be better at both ends, but after the last couple of games on the defensive end, that is going to have to become more of a priority for us.
action both expect multiple playing
They're both probably going to be playing multiple positions, so that can also make it tricky. But I expect both of them to be into the action pretty quickly.
both cheeks efficient ends figuring great higher job last playing standards team
They are a well-balanced team that has become very efficient at both ends of the floor. I think (coach Maurice) Cheeks has done a great job of figuring out a lineup. A lot of it is going to come back to Iverson and Webber because they are two great players. Iverson, in the last two weeks, he's been playing by his standards at a higher level.
both build complete continue control emotions great job keeping league nobody playoffs tone
I thought he did a great job keeping his emotions under control in both series. I look for him to build on that. There's nobody in this league that always has complete control of their emotions. I thought he set a great tone in the playoffs and I look for him to continue in that vein.
both ends floor good
He did some good things. We have to keep working him on both ends of the floor with what we do.
adversity bad both ends felt guy himself respond strong
Harrison felt bad about the suspension. I thought he atoned himself in a very strong way with his play at both ends of the court. That's what you want to see, a guy respond to adversity when things aren't going well all the time.
both careful games held practice ready thin
He's not able to both practice and play games so we've held him out of everything. We have to be careful with him and have him ready to play in each game. We're thin on (big men) right now.
both decisions great played second shots
In the second half, his disposition was different at both ends. He made great decisions, he played unselfishly and he made big shots when we had to have them. We couldn't have done it without him.
