A lot of teams play with much more confidence at home. We seem to play the same both places. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but that's kind of been the profile of this team. |
All of the hustle things in that last game, I liked. The other things, the turnovers and pressing, well, I didn't like that. If we can eliminate those things, we could be leading this thing instead of being where we're at right now. |
At the beginning of the season, Damien wasn't playing as well as he did last year. He calmed down. It looked like it was forcing it a little bit. He was trying to get playing time like a lot of our guys. I think he felt like he had to score to be out there. |
At this point, we're going to be more concerned with what we do, ... There won't be any scouting report. |
Brendan Malone. He's sitting right over there. |
Everybody made errors in that game, but unfortunately for Luke, you always remember the last one. So he feels worse than anybody about that. How he responds? We'll see. |
Exactly how and when we'd use that, we're not sure yet, ... I don't think it would be for a while, because we want him here, we want him working in structure, we want him working against NBA guys. At a point sometime in the season when we're going to practice less and going to be traveling a lot maybe and he would not be getting minutes, that would be the time to send him to the D League and let him get some experience. |
He (Reggie) did a great job today. He hadn't been here for some of the things we were discussing on defense, but he picked up on it pretty quickly. He'll be fine. |
He came in and asked to speak tonight and said all he wants to do is win and he wants to put all that stuff aside. |
He can go for a while, and then if he hits it wrong, it acts up on him, |
He couldn't do anything live; everything was just running plays, that kind of situation. Right now, he's getting his strenuous workout, so we'll see how he feels. I think he's going to be available for (Saturday). Right now, we're expecting him to play. |
He has the most experience. |
He hit some tough shot for us and had a nice game. He's been playing steadier and steadier, but a game like this can cap it off. |
He is a lot further along than I thought he'd be, ... I didn't think he had a chance of being on the floor this year, but the way he's played the last couple of days, nothing is in stone. If he keeps improving like this, he will be on the floor a little bit. |
