against almost appear battle game growing guys late night seize situations
My guys almost every night battle really hard. They've had a lot of things go against them in late game situations and we haven't been able to seize the moment. Lately, we've been able to do that and our guys appear to growing up as a team.
agent almost compared guys last literally means summer tells tyson until
Tyson didn't do much this summer, from what I've seen, compared to last summer when he was here almost 75 days. It's the old thing where your agent tells you don't do anything until you get a contract, and a lot of guys think that literally means don't do anything. It really means don't play basketball.
almost lead seems somehow time
It seems every time we play Boston, it's almost the same game. Usually, they'll lead for a little while, then somehow we'll get back into it. They all seem to go down to the end.
almost free question shot silly team
There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team.
almost bad bit feeling three
We'll take the win, but you end up almost feeling a little bit bad about it. They outplayed us for three quarters, handily,
almost inch maybe next year
He's almost an inch taller. Maybe by next year he'll be a 7-footer.
almost certainly forget hope second
He can pretty much forget almost everything from one second to the next. I don't know if he did or not because he certainly knew. I hope he didn't.
almost best chase explain four good hard job kirk late overall players possession screens stronger taller wore
If you never done it the way Kirk does it, it's hard to explain how hard it is to chase some of the game's best players around two, three, four screens sometimes in the same possession and almost always taller than him, sometimes stronger also, so he does such a good job of it. I thought it wore him down a little bit, but he really responded late in the game. I thought overall it was (one) Kirk's better games.
looked
We just looked out of it. We looked out of it most of the night.
ball defense driving finally kindness near picked quarter start third waited
We just waited too long to start playing. We kind of just sleepwalked through 2 1/2 quarters. Then near the end of the third quarter we finally started getting aggressive. We started driving the ball and our defense picked up.
focus move talked
We just talked about it with the guys; we want to move up. That's what we'll keep our focus on now.
bad basketball concerned gave good half lack points quarter respect tough win
We just gave them 25 points off turnovers and it's tough to win when you do that. I'm concerned about this one good half, one bad half routine, one good quarter, one bad quarter that we've been in and just the carelessness with the ball. And, a lack of respect for the basketball out there was pretty amateurish.
free throw winning
We were probably one free throw away from winning the game. We weren't able to make it, and we weren't able to get (defensive) stops.
kirk team
I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.
