I've always been impressed with what he's able to do. He's just gone through some tough times. Some players do and some players don't. I think those tough times are good for him. |
If they told me to take my shoes off, I'd coach barefoot, |
If you don't like this business, you can always go work somewhere else. We've got to try to sell this league any way we can, if it's a positive. |
If you're supposed to be on a certain place on the floor defensively, you've got to get there. You can't just go crazy. And if you've got a certain assignment on the offensive end of the floor, that all remains the same. But if we break it down because we've got something else in mind, then the other four guys don't have any idea what we're doing. It's just basketball. But we have to play it together. |
In the second half, they played harder and caused us to take tougher shots. We shouldn't have been worn down in the third quarter when they put pressure on us. You have to give them credit. They brought it to us. |
It gives him a tremendous advantage, because good players have the ability to do different things. Teams can scout you, but that scouting report doesn't do you much good if you tend to play (defense) just one way. |
It looked like we didn't belong. They just waxed us. Our guys looked afraid, and I hate to use that word. This is one of the most disappointing games I've ever been involved in that had some significance. |
It went crazy -- throwing the ball away, turning the basketball over, not playing like we're supposed to play. You can't play a streak game like that against a team that knows how to play the pass. |
It's a matter of how he approaches the game every day. You make a mistake throwing the ball away, is that going to affect you next time? The biggest thing is how you fight back. |
It's kind of mind-boggling to me. |
It's like the end of the world that we didn't (beat Orlando on Monday) by 20. But we've won (five out of eight games) and that hasn't been discussed. |
It's tough on Jeff. He's trying to win and doing everything he can. You wonder what's going to happen to you next. |
Let them experience a day off in there, and see if they can keep themselves ready. It's important to see if any of them try to take the third game off. |
Maybe I'll have 12 captains, ... I've got a lot of things going on in my head with that right now. |
Maybe we should have been watching them. |
