basketball good hung kept learn
Like I told the guys, that's a good basketball team. We hung in there, we kept fighting, but that is no consolation. We still have to learn how to get over the hump.
door shut
That door is still open. It hasn't shut on us yet.
attendance economics main second support
I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse, because I don't think you have enough people. That's my main concern.
decision everybody forward glad looking playing
I think all the players, everybody in our organization is glad that it's over with and the decision has been made and we can just keep looking forward to playing basketball.
both developing effective guys post productive stronger summer talked
Realistically, he's not going to play a whole lot at (center), because both those guys have been productive for us. But he's still going to get his chance. The things we talked about this summer were just getting stronger and developing a post game, as well. He's a big guy with a big body, and we want him to be effective down there on the post.
feels living suitcases time
It feels like home. The only time we're living out of suitcases is when we're on the road.
couple guys job rely
That's why those guys are here. Their job is to give us a boost, and be aggressive. We have a couple of guys who we rely on to do that, especially with P.J. (Brown) and Desmond (Mason) out of the lineup.
good looks tonight
Right now, he looks like the Antonio of old. I told him tonight it was good to see him back.
basically everyday hour start until
That's basically what we did for about an hour and a half, and we'll do it everyday until they start to get it.
coach deal next stuff type wants
It was just too many things going on player-wise that I didn't like that I wasn't going to be able to deal with the next year. So I wasn't going to put myself in the situation. No coach wants to go through that type of stuff when you have mutiny.
chance couple depends healing monday process
Monday is a possibility. It just depends on how well his process of healing goes. We didn't want to take a chance on these couple of games.
allowed body danny junior minutes struggling weeks
So I said, 'Let's take two weeks and get your body completely healed. That allowed us to get Junior back here ... and now we're not struggling with Danny going 40-plus minutes every night.
guy needs point second unit wait
I can't wait to get him back. Our second unit needs that point guard, needs a guy like Speedy in there.
emphasis guys pro puts ready soon
Hopefully, one of them will be back soon - soon being Friday, It puts a lot more emphasis on guys to play a lot more minutes. But that's pro basketball. You've got to be ready to play.
