They're firing coaches left and right in the league. I had to take the money. It's not like teams are showing any loyalty to coaches, right? |
They've missed a ton of games. Having those guys out of your rotation for so many games just really adds to making it difficult when you already have an inexperienced team. |
This game just shows you where we are as a team. A young, inexperienced team needs to learn how to keep control of the game when they have the lead and finish a game. |
This is what we've been talking about for a while. The effort, scrappy play. We played smart for the majority of the game. |
Those guys wanted change, ... So did I. |
Those were two big 3s. I thought that took the wind out of our sails. We couldn't respond and I saw heads drop as if the game was over. |

Tonight we didn't do a good job of understanding time and score. |
Try and strap this on. Because we're going to go on a ride I'm sure none of us may have experienced or expected. |
Trying to coach a style that somebody else is putting in front of you, ... well, as a young coach, I thought I could do it. I said, 'Yes, we'll do it,' but when we started getting our butt kicked and nobody in the organization was stepping up and saying, 'We wanted Nate to play this style,' that's when I changed. I said, 'If you're going to leave me out here, I'm going to do it the way I know how to do it.' |
We are begging guys to compete and do things that you expect in the NBA. Nights like this when we've had rest, mentally we've got to be ready to go. |
We are just seeing what the league is going to do now. |
We are not going to accept that type of behavior. |
We can't put together 48 minutes and we're saying the same thing every single night and every single day. It's just drama and it constantly goes on with this team. Until we adjust the attitude of playing the game, it's going to get worse before it gets better. |
