ben came report room
Ben was in his room at 2. I don't know where that report came from.
behind occur scenes team worse
I've never been part of a team where that didn't occur at some point. And sometimes behind the scenes is way worse than that.
career coaches listed next player record
Every player in the league, when he is listed in the program, should have his career record next to his name. Just like the coaches do.
best effect game gives guys played players plays pop seems since strength toughest
Every game he plays in, he's ... one of the toughest guys on the floor. He's got size, strength, athleticism, and he can play. He gives them one of the best players in the game, and you can see that they've played with a little more pop since he's been with them. He seems to have an effect on their group, the way they get after it a little bit.
ball early eight field general goals good lead movement nice played point talked trying work
At one point we had 11 field goals and eight of them were assisted. I thought our ball movement was good again, we played very unselfishly in general and we did what we had to do. We talked about trying to put them down early at least. It doesn't always work out the way you talk about it, but at least you get a nice lead and see how they react.
automatic call couple experience games guys nba watch
At that point, you call an automatic timeout. All you have to do is watch a couple of NBA games to know it's a timeout. We had guys out there with enough experience out there to know that. It's inexcusable.
games string together tough
We feel like they are all must games now. We have to put together a string of wins, but that will be tough to do.
active defense field game goals obviously second win won
To win a game where we only make 12 field goals in the second half, obviously our defense is good. I thought we were very active and it won the game for us.
ball shot stop
We shot the ball well enough to win. We just couldn't stop fouling.
definitely figure fully trying utilize
We are still trying to figure out how to fully utilize him. He is definitely a multidimensional player.
distracted felt half halftime halves job poorer quite second
We did a much better job in the second half of getting aggressive. We were a little fatigued or distracted in the first half, there's no doubt. We felt at halftime it was one of our poorer halves in quite a while.
ball breaking defense exception five four good minutes moved open plus solid tonight
We did a lot of good things tonight with the exception of four or five minutes with our defense breaking down. Other than that we had 40 plus minutes of pretty solid defense. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of open looks.
advantage boards collapsing great job offensive scrappy tyson
We did a great job of collapsing and a great job on the glass. We had a big advantage on the boards and Tyson was a big part of that, especially on the offensive end. We were all scrappy tonight.
against difficult dug good hole point team
We dug a 20-point hole against a good team at home. It's very difficult at that point to come back and win.
