appreciate city oklahoma showing
I think it's cool. I think it's just a way of showing Oklahoma City how much we appreciate them for all they've done for us this season.
nice win
It was nice to just win a game.
extremely hard product
I think it's important to give them a product where we go out and play extremely hard every night,
add healthy houston repertoire stretch
Luckily, it wasn't his ribs. We'll just add that to his repertoire of injuries. He's going to Houston (for All-Star Weekend), I told him to have fun, but be careful, we need him healthy for the stretch run.
coming floor putting ready second soft tells
Right now I'm disappointed because we are not ready to play in the second half. We are coming down the floor like we are down 30 points, putting up threes and not getting into the lane. I thought we were soft on defense, soft on the boards. That tells me we're scared.
man wants
He's just a very competitive young man who wants to play.
blocking came great heck job quarter second space taking
Deke came in the second quarter and did a heck of a job. He was doing a great job of blocking shots, taking up space and that?s what we needed.
fast floor guy run
He can get you baskets. He can rebound. I don't know if we've got a guy who can run up and down the floor as fast as he can.
defensive fourteen game left minutes pick shot three
Fourteen down, in this league, with 12 minutes left in the game is nothing. We relaxed. On the defensive end, they get any shot they want. And then you try to pick it back up offensively, and you're dead. We have done that three or four times already this season.
excited happened mixed orleans people season start supposed
I think everybody's excited about getting the season started, but there's going to be a lot of people that start to think back on where we're supposed to be in New Orleans and what happened in New Orleans. You're going to get some mixed feelings.
effort half halftime motions second
I didn't think in the first half we were here. We were just kind of out there going through the motions and at halftime I wasn't very happy. Much better effort in the second half and we got the win.
bunch causes good half happens losses played understand
I don't understand it myself. That's what happens when you have a bunch of young guys. We played a good first half but it is just inexperience that causes losses like this.
looks
Right now, he looks like the Antonio of old.
cost everybody hopefully learn love slight took
He still has a love for the game. He just took a slight detour, and it cost him. Everybody makes mistakes, and he'll hopefully learn from this and be able to get back.
