Most importantly, I thought our offense let us down, and it hurt our defense. The Big Three have to understand we have to share the ball. We have to get equal opportunity, and we have to attack in a disciplined matter. We didn't do that. We were playing selfish basketball. |
New Jersey stepped up when winning time came. They did a good job of picking their spots. I thought we got a little bit disjointed, a little bit distracted and we didn't have a clear head as a unit to get it done tonight. |
New York is a team that is not playing well and we didn't play down to their level. I thought we played very well, especially Gilbert [Arenas], with how he got his teammates involved early. We played the right way. |
No doubt Cosworth will build a brilliant V8 as it's their forte, ... But, sadly, bigger budgets will dominate. |
No matter what happens offensively, whether you're playing poorly or not, you still have to play good defense. |
No, we?re not going to do anything flagrant. As long as it?s not flagrant. We?re not the toughest team in the NBA. We?re not very physical, but tonight we brought it out. We?re not going to flagrantly foul anybody on purpose. It?s just going to be good sportsmanship, hard fouls. |
Not to the best of my knowledge. I haven't had any contact with Superintendent Compass, ... It's unclear to me what the reasons were for his decision to resign, other than the information that he provided to the public. |
Nothing like that. Didn't mention it at all. |
Now, it's our turn. We have to do something significant. |
Obviously I'd like to improve our team. But I haven't heard anything that improves our team. |
Obviously, he's going to need a lot of development, ... I want to see how he looks. I want him to play in our summer league. |
One of the things I like about Antonio is his versatility, ... Those two can really be interchangeable back there. He's a tough player and he's a smart player with a lot of playoff experience, which is something we were excited about adding to our team. |
One thing the Warriors can do is score. We knew that. And as much as we wanted to emphasize defense, we knew we had to keep the pace offensively. With that being said, I thought we ran our offense. |
Our last practice, our last shoot-around, just weren't serious enough. I allowed things to happen out on the floor that I should have stopped. I'll make sure it won't happen again. |
People may consider that. But there is a respect for the game. |
