Bryan and I are going to talk a lot more in the weeks to come. He obviously has proven he understands what it takes to put together a team. |
But no one feels sorry for us, and we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We just have to remember these beatings and give them back some day. |
Can they play at 7 o'clock? ... I think that encompasses everything. I know the guys who can, I want to find out about the other guys. |
Charlie and Chris together, with 47 points and 20-plus rebounds? They were unbelievable. |
Chris and Charlie and Mo and Mike, they're playing well. The thing that concerns me is, someone has to step up to help them. |
Chris had 15 rebounds and 17 points against, arguably, one of the the greatest players (Garnett) to ever play at that position. |
Chris has really made an effort to bring everybody together and just push everybody to be accountable, and Mike has kind of chimed in on that. |
Chris understands. We just expect so much from him. |
Do we want to win? Of course, every time we step on the floor and play, |
Either they will, or we'll find some people who will. |
Every little mistake you make against them, they're going to pick you apart. Every time we gave them a shot, they knocked it down. They just know how to play. |
Every time we gave them a shot, they knocked it down. |
Every week we're going to get better. Obviously our young guys need time to grow and learn how to play at this level. The most difficult thing is going to be to have patience. |
Everybody can't play (for) Coach. You've got to change your thinking. He's unyielding. Not to say he won't make adjustments ... (But) you're going to be a good teammate. You're going to play basketball the way it should be played. |
First half, any time Wade got the ball, we had bodies on him, we took away his penetration, we took some charges. In the second half, for whatever reason, we just gave him the lane and stopped doing what we were supposed to do. |
