days simple
It's the same struggles. The days we play hard, we're shorthanded. The days we're full, we don't play hard. We can't put two and two together; it's as simple as that.
exactly learn playing system
It's strange, but I wanted it, ... This is exactly what I was expecting. I have to learn the system and learn the way of playing here.
doubt hopefully played quick
It's going to be a big development for me. I've never played at this level. Hopefully I can make it quick. I am still a rookie. It's going to be an adjustment, no doubt about it. I just hope it's going to be a quick one.
believe mind noticeable playing point
I want to be a point guard; I believe that's my position. I don't mind playing two-guard, but I wasn't very comfortable there, and it was noticeable in my play.
classy
They were there from day one. They did it in a very classy way.
beginning feeling guy lose nice row since six smartest three win
It's a nice feeling, probably a feeling we haven't had since the beginning of the year. We just need to concentrate and be professional about it and keep it going. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it's better to win three in a row than to lose six (in a row).
games good guys life past playing practices realizing together
We're realizing we're not in a very good situation. We showed some life in the past two games and now we have to keep it going. Guys are playing hard, practices are very good and guys are together as good as it's been all year.
talk whether
Whether I'm right or wrong, we can talk in one or two years.
extra game good opportunity ready situations work
A lot of times you don't like how things are going, but you want to play good when the opportunity comes. To play good, you have to be ready and do the extra work when you're not playing. When I'm not playing, I try to simulate game situations as much as I can.
four good lose news playing practice somehow start thinking turning
You're doing so bad, you lose four in a row, you're not playing well, then you come in and you're thinking you'll have a good practice and start turning things around somehow and the first news you get is that. It's just crazy. But, hey, that's the way it is.
saying stop
As a group, we have to stop saying we have to do something and do it.
helping trade
I think there's a lot of uncertainty about the trade, let's be honest. It's not helping us out, that's for sure.
hit jackson stepped win
Jackson hit a lot of big shots. I thought that everyone stepped up. This was a big win for us.
best certain changing coaching good league obviously players season staff stretch tough
I think we are searching. We went into the season with a certain identity, and obviously things are changing right now. We have one of the best players in the league and a good coaching staff and good veterans. It's a tough stretch right now.
