again bad buy early great job kid looks poor shoot shot shots
Early in his career, they said there was never a shot he didn't like. He's changed. He's done such a much better job of shot selection. I'm going to have to get him to shoot bad shots again because I really thought he had some great looks and he just couldn't ? poor kid couldn't buy one.

affects basket happened parts regroup seem
Right now, we just can't seem to find the basket with anything. When you do that, that affects other parts of your game, and that's what's happened to us right now. We have to regroup and find a way to get back on track.

Pretty soon, we'll want the National Guard out around things.

Our defense was very, very good against a very complex offense at times. A week prep for that offense helped us.

We have destiny in our hands. If we take care of our business, we don't need any help. That's what makes it, on the positive side, a good game. We don't need anybody else to do anything.

Bernard Cote played better for them and I think if he continues to play better that will be important for them in the future.
agree coaches nba turned
The Thursday-Saturday thing was a joke, in my mind, and I think most coaches would agree with that. I turned down going to the NBA ? I didn't think I'd have back-to-backs right now.
games paranoid practice six soft three
I've been a little soft in practice lately, because I've been paranoid about this three games in six days.
coaching double four hard percent post shooting team tough
Sometimes you look like, 'Who's coaching that team?' because you're not doing anything on the post guy. But when you have four three-point shooters that are shooting 50 percent or better, it's hard to double down on them. They're a tough team to beat. They have so many weapons.
deal emotions jobs sure
Sometimes, these jobs deal with emotion. I just wanted to make sure he didn't do that.
