handle hard last played reacting time
We didn't handle it very well the last time we played them. We had a hard time reacting to it.
comment credit faded found time
Occasionally, I may say something to see if I can get a response. Certainly, they responded, not that I want to take any credit for a comment like that. Each time they could have faded away, they found a way to come back and get after it again.
came decisions game matter minutes poor time
When the time came to make plays, they made a flurry. That coupled with some very poor decisions that we made (and) in a matter of minutes the game was gone.
attempts guys mean opinion provided rankings time top whoever
My opinion has always been that whoever the top guys are in the rankings -- provided they have the attempts -- should go. I had that opinion the whole time I played, and my opinion didn't mean anything. They've got to get some guys they think are sexy.
beach guys money situations sort south time trust
We try to keep it reasonable. It's not necessarily that we don't trust our guys. We don't trust other people. We want to keep our guys out of situations where something (negative) can happen. I sort of look at it that, if you want to come to South Beach and have some fun, you have the money to do it in the summertime. Now is not the time for that.
battle biggest clarity huge next obviously possible season time week
We know we're in a battle right now. This is obviously a huge week. It's possible there could be a little more clarity by this time next week. This is the biggest week of our season right here.
boys dad following league spending time typical
Typical dad stuff, ... Spending time with my two boys, going to their little league games. And following the NBA, like always.
ahead commit game hate minutes somebody stayed sudden time
I would never commit ahead of time that he wasn't going to play. I would hate to tell somebody they're not going to play or their minutes would be limited, then all of a sudden 6 minutes into the game put him out there. That wouldn't be fair. I think it's better that he stayed ready, but unfortunately he didn't get in.
field foul goals hard juggle players stop time trouble win
Most games, when you have more field goals than your opponent, you win in our league. For us, most times, we haven't won. We just juggle players because of foul trouble too much, and we've had a hard time to stop it.
advantage beginning early following game hard sheet simple stop third time took tried
The stat sheet does not really show it, but they pretty much out-played us from beginning to end. We had a hard time in the early going even following our simple game plan. We tried different lineups to keep it close. In the third quarter, they took advantage of us and we could not do much to stop them.
chain dealing events hard setting time
He's setting off a chain of events that we're having a hard time dealing with.
fact ready time
I know for a fact Shaq is going to be ready for this time of year.
geared guys hang team time
This is kind of a team that's been getting geared up for this time of year. Our guys have been able to hang with them, but this is going to be a different animal.
ball fourth lost poise quarter ran time turned
In the fourth quarter they turned it up right at the same time we started to turn the ball over. We kind of lost our poise out there and they ran away from us out there. That was it.
