games gives good guys shows team win
I think it's a good thing for our team right now. If we can win games without Chris, I think it gives these guys even more confidence. And it also shows when he comes back that we'll even be better.
bad best chris feels games interests love next relax wants
I don't think Chris will play tomorrow. I would love to just let him relax for the next two games and see how he feels for Monday. Right now, I think he's still pretty banged up. I know how bad he wants to play, but I don't think it would be in his best interests to play the next two games at least.
capable confidence stuff ultimate
He has the ultimate confidence in his stuff with what he's capable of doing.
crowd
I had no expectations, to be honest, one way or the other. I thought the crowd was good. It was loud, especially when we made our run.
city feeling forward looking losing orleans people sure together trying worry
I think you've always got to worry about that. I'm sure the people in New Orleans are feeling that we're losing our team, so to speak. Like we keep saying, we're just trying to make sure that everything here is going well. When the city is back together and ready, we're looking forward to going back there and playing.
fans guys players
Our guys feel real comfortable here. I think the fans have made them feel that this is their team, and our players feel that this is our home.
few guys hard locker mental physical room simple team toughness understand watch
I think a few of those guys in that locker room have quit. It's disappointing to me; (those guys) won't be here, it's as simple as that. We have no mental or physical toughness on this team right now. It's just hard to watch that; it's hard to watch these young guys that don't understand and don't get it.
adversity handle hope learn year
I hope not. We've had adversity all year long. We just have to learn how to handle it.
gives guy minutes plays tough
He gives us another guy that can really just go up and down the floor, that can fly. He just plays big-time minutes and he's a tough kid.
game hopefully near playing somewhere
He just had a game of his life. Hopefully he can keep playing like that or somewhere near like that.
defensive everybody game looked mean played resistance scared
Terrible. I thought we started off terrible, no sense of urgency, no resistance on the defensive end. We played like the game didn't mean a thing. It's not everybody obviously, but as a team, collectively, we were awful. We looked more like we were scared than anything.
atmosphere boost college crowd energy feed front guys tremendous type
I think the energy in the crowd has been a tremendous boost to our team. We've got a lot of young guys and they feed off that type of energy. When you have a college atmosphere and you have a young team, this is what they like to play in front of.
david helping improving integral next team
David will be an integral part of improving our team and helping me get them to the next level.
breath people stop talking understand waste
I stop talking to people that don't listen. I'm not going to waste my breath I don't understand what more (he) wants.
