fairness mistake
In all fairness to Austin, it was probably a mistake to put him out there.
along hurt mistakes otherwise ourselves solve team
We hurt ourselves with a lot of little mistakes along the way, which put us in a bind. We've got to solve that. Otherwise we're always going to be a team teetering.
consistent defensive hard mistake time
During this 15-game period, we had competed hard on a consistent basis. And tonight, we had a let down from that. We just didn't have it. Every time we would make a run, we'd make a defensive mistake and they'd get a three.
course early force fourth leave meet mistakes throughout tough
When you make the kind of mistakes we made throughout the course of the whole game, you just leave too much to chance. They were aggressive, they did some things that made it tough on us. But you've got to meet force with force in this league. Early fourth we didn't do it.
consistent gave hard mistakes ourselves played stretch
We played hard for the most part. We have to do that on a consistent basis. We gave ourselves a chance, but we had some mistakes down the stretch with execution.
areas coaching error game great happened highest margin mistakes playing
The margin for error for us is nonexistent. You have to really be great in all areas and playing at the highest (levels) in all areas. There were some things that happened that were mistakes that can't happen on the court. From a coaching standpoint, those things are part of the game and one of the things that makes it so difficult.
control duration easy hope injuries ready sounds
Injuries are going to happen. You don't have any control over it. We just have to hope long-range he's going to be OK. We've got to be ready to go the duration without him, from the sounds of it. So it's not an easy situation.
main
I know Vince is still going to be their main guy. That's just who they've been as a team.
favorite forward looking players seeing worked
I'm looking forward to seeing him. He's one of my favorite players I've ever worked with. I'm not looking forward to seeing him in an opponent's uniform.
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.
danny games ideal
It's not an ideal situation, but Danny has started a lot of games (17) for us this year. We've been down that road.
biggest conversion convert great jersey opponent team
The biggest thing is efficiency, because if you have a lot of turnovers on the road, the opponent is going to convert a lot of them. Jersey is a great conversion team off turnovers.
bench coming essential few logical points production success
The bench production is essential to us having success right now. We have a lot of our better scorers coming off the bench, so it would be logical that we would get a few more points than from some of the starters.
awhile best certainly hurting prognosis situation
The best situation will be for him to completely heal. I don't know what the prognosis or possibility is for that. It's certainly going to be awhile before he plays, because it's hurting too much for him to play effectively.
