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.
bit defense definitely guys hurt hurts shooting spread
It doesn't hurt us defensively. We're probably a little better defensively but it definitely hurts us offensively. He's one of the guys that we can spread the defense out a little bit with his shooting ability.
instead minds realize teammate win
The players' minds were on their teammate instead of the game, which is understandable. I thought after a while that (his players) had to realize that we still had to win this game.
guys locker lots room simple
There are lots of guys in that locker room that just quit. It's disappointing to me. They won't be here. It's as simple as that.
best guys home positions
When you don't have one of your best players, sometimes that's what you have to do. You've got to put guys in different positions to see how they react, see how they play. Sometimes you come up with a home run, sometimes you don't.
confidence dead finding game ways
We keep finding ways to win. Our confidence is sky-high. You think we're dead in a game and we find a way to win.
bus few guys mentally might second simple tough weak
We are so weak mentally and physically. When it comes to the second half, we might as well just get on the bus because our guys don't show up. We're just not tough enough. I think a few of guys in there quit, which is very disappointing to me. And they won't be here, simple as that.
ball care job obviously taking understanding win
We obviously have to do a better job taking care of the ball. But when you have 23 turnovers and you win the game, that's a plus. We've got to do a better job of understanding how important that ball is.
business care door matter open slightly taking
Well, the door is still open. It is only open slightly but it is open. It's a matter of us taking care of business and getting a little help.
against basketball good happy instead satisfying straight trying wins
We were happy with two straight wins and that was satisfying enough for us instead of trying to come in here and get one against a very good basketball team.
soft
We were soft. That's why we got down 12-0. We were soft the whole game.
damn four good low three type
Three or four years ago, he was a pretty damn good scorer down low and outside. Hopefully, he still has that type of potential.
shot took
We got the shot we wanted. I think he (West) took one too many dribbles and got off-balance.
acted blew bottom came quarter third
We didn't play like we wanted to win. We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were up 20. We blew it, that's the bottom line.
