defend good guys played struggled
They played an awfully good game. It thought our guys played hard, we just struggled to defend them.
built good guys team win
They are a team built to win a championship and I thought under the circumstances our guys did a good job.
continue credit guys injuries scoring screens setting win
Considering all their injuries this year, they continue to win and you have to give (Nash) a lot of credit for that. And Nash doesn't have those big guys to set screens for him and he's still scoring and setting up his teammates.
fought game guys handle ourselves position spread win
Our big guys couldn't handle Kaman and Brand. I thought we fought and got ourselves back in position to win the game. But we let them back in the game when we could have put them away. Not for the game, but for the spread at halftime.
appreciate chris defense good guys mike normally playing question
If you want to play really good defense, you have to have some defensive-minded guys. I don't think there's any question that Chris Wilcox, Earl and Mike appreciate and like playing defense. When you get guys like that, normally your defense will get better.
bring everybody game good guy iowa nba terrific
Everybody said he would be the guy to bring up. When he was at Iowa State, I thought that guy was going to be a terrific NBA player. He had good size, and he kind of had an NBA game when he was in college.
credit deserves effort guy lots position ready supposed surprised
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.
break four fun great guys help kept looked rules studying zone
I just kept studying it. And studying it. And studying it. Studying different teams. And the zone rules. I really got a lot done in four days. I looked at the All-Star break as a great opportunity, with no distractions to get in there and grow, so I can help these guys more. So if was fun for me.
game guys hard kicking neither playing team teams took win
Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.
contracts effort game guys playing
That's the kind of game that All-Stars need to play like All-Stars and guys playing for contracts need to play like they want to get paid. That's how we played. I thought our effort was outstanding the whole time.
guys
The guys that aren't here (anymore) didn't want to be here.
ball fast feeling guys key wants
He's feeling comfortable with how we want to play, and you're going to see him get better. He's so fast with the ball that our guys need to get used to him. But the key thing is that he wants to be here and he's going to be here for a while.
depth effort fourth guys hard played tired wore
Their depth just wore us down. We were tired in the fourth quarter. I don't think we could have done much more than we did. I thought the effort was great, and guys played as hard as they could.
build bunch committed guys team until
Now we have a whole bunch of committed players, where before we had too many dissident guys who just didn't want to be here. So there was no way we were going to build a team until now.
