The good news is he is feeling better; the bad news is he's not ready to get on a plane and come out here and play.
advantage basis feeling good help
We've been on a day-to-day basis with him a lot of the year. We have to see each day where he is. If he's feeling good and can help us, we have to take advantage of it.
feeling
We're going to see how he's feeling tomorrow.
austin david depend fair feeling goes guys hope jeff pull scoring share team
We have to hope Pollard is feeling better and we're going to have to depend on guys like David (Harrison) and Austin and Jeff (Foster) to pull through and we're going to have to find scoring as a team. Every team goes through their fair share of problems. We're just going to have to play through this.
bit calmed couple feeling last
He's feeling better. To what extent, I don't know. It's calmed down a little bit the last couple days.
against best feeling fortunate game guy past played playing strongest
He's experienced and has played him a lot. He's done well with him in the past and he's the best guy that we have. We're fortunate that he's feeling better for a game that we're playing against the biggest, strongest guy in the game.
bad feeling hoping wakes
I'm just hoping that when he wakes up he isn't feeling too bad because he's the cornerstone of our team.
character dress feeling good great guys indicator last league might people players quality team terms various year
There's a feeling that our players are misinterpreted and a little misunderstood because of various factors. Dress would be one of them. As a league, we know we have good people. We have great guys on our team. . . . I feel like what our team did last year (after the brawl) is a much better indicator of the character and quality of people in our league than anything else people might want to surmise in terms of perception.
feeling next week
If he's feeling better by next week some time, there's a possibility he could play with a splint.
advantage close free games hurt throw
When you have opportunities to close out games you have to take advantage of them. We had a couple. We got hurt at the free throw line. We got hurt on second-chance opportunities.
best effort fight fighting generally hit laying lies losing solution
We've got to fight our way out of this, losing, injuries, all of it. When you hit losing streaks, generally speaking, the solution lies in just laying out your best effort and fighting your way out of it. That's where we are. There's really no other explanation to it.
deal
We've got to deal with injuries, but we want to play well.
group played
We've got the same group that played well the other night. We are not going to make excuses.
jackson run
We run that (offense) sometimes, but we're going to be doing it more, obviously, when he and ( Stephen Jackson ) are in there. Now that you don't have Jermaine, it necessitates some adjustments offensively. We'll do what we need to do.
