shot took
We got the shot we wanted. I think he (West) took one too many dribbles and got off-balance.
great players shots
He made all the big shots at the end. That's what great players do.
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.
contested forced jump rebound shots
We got stops, we forced them into some contested jump shots and we were able to rebound the ball. We just did what we do best, and that's try to get up and down the floor. That's how we play basketball.
finding four good job matter near nobody picks setting shots three
When he has his first three or four shots with nobody near him, and he makes those. Then it doesn't matter who's on him after that. They did a good job finding him, setting good picks for him.
bad ball fire five four given guard pull ready shots space surprised wide
Sometimes they get surprised he's so wide open. With a guard like that, you've got to keep your space and be ready to fire when the ball comes to you and take the shots that are given you. There was about four or five instances where we weren't ready to pull the trigger, and we end up making it into a bad play.
aggressive david fourth game halftime helped rebounds several shot start stay win
I told David at halftime to stay aggressive and that his shot would start falling. He had several big rebounds and put-backs that really helped us win this game in the fourth quarter.
ball good job knock might moving offensive opened ourselves pass shots tonight trouble
Sometimes we get ourselves into trouble on the offensive end. We might pass up a shot, but tonight we did a real good job of moving the ball around and that opened up the shots we can knock down.
cheering fantastic job
I thought they did a fantastic job cheering us on.
effort guys points talking win
I thought our effort was much better. Defensively we're just having way too many lapses. Guys aren't communicating out there and talking to each other. You give up (52) points in the paint, you're not going to win too many games.
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.
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.
easier fall five gives guard jason point rely six
It gives us a different dimension, because we don't rely on one or two guys. We rely on five or six guys. If you have a point guard like Jason Kidd, it makes it easier for everyone else to fall into place.
base basketball change fan hurricane louisiana might people
I think they would understand. All the people that were in Louisiana before the hurricane are not there right now, so I don't think the fan base is there right now for our basketball team, especially right now in this month. It might change in March.
