bit expectation figured low measure question team
The expectation question is a little bit overdone. I think I've got it figured out. If the expectations for your team are high, and you don't measure up, you get fired. If the expectations are low and you lose, you get fired.
april competing counts games harder road teams
It's going to be a harder road for 82 games - a lot more teams competing for it. And you're going to have to be a lot better when it counts in April and May to get to where we want to go.
hard judge
It's hard to judge anything on one night. But it wasn't a positive.
difficult handle
It's a very difficult situation. How we'll handle it with him, I don't know.
great guys job points team tough
They do a great job at the basket. They're a team that doesn't give up points in the paint, and it's tough to get anything to the rim, and we didn't have a lot of guys making (outside) shots.
energy good liked
There were a lot of good things tonight. More than anything I really liked our energy and our intensity.

I told him I thought he already had the best guy.

I told them all of you guys are wrong.
build finished fought game hard model
It was a really hard fought game. We finished the game very well. That has to be the model for how to finish the game...Hopefully, we can build on this game.
fatigue last night overly sit sort
That's sort of a day-to-day thing. The idea last night was not to overly fatigue him in one stretch, and also not sit him out for too long where he tightened up.
certainly
We'll see if we can make some adjustments, but we're certainly not going to panic.
believe next
We believe we're going to be in the next series, too.
help spend time
I'll help out any way I can after I spend some time with my family.
game guys happens learn mistakes
I look at this game like anything that happens is good. Any mistakes you make, you're going to be able to learn from them. And if guys play well, great.
