nice second starting
It's starting to get better. I thought we had some lapses in the second half. We get a little comfortable when we get a nice lead.
nice problem second starting
It's starting to get better. We still had some lapses in the second half. That's the problem with our young guys. We get a little comfortable when we have a nice little lead.
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.
locker start walk
I just want them to be aware. That's why when they walk in that locker room, the first thing they see is the standings, where they are. Now you start to see you're right there.
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.
angry basketball bird compassion dealing help needs obviously start stop thinking
You're a little shocked. You're a little disappointed. I even got angry at first. But then you have to start thinking about the person. Bird obviously needs some help in dealing with this situation, so then you start having compassion for him as a person. You stop thinking about the basketball part of it.
beat bottom guy kirk record speaks starter
He had a guy that beat him out, and to me that's the bottom line. That's all it's about. If you look at our record with him as a starter and you look at our record with Kirk as a starter, to me that speaks for itself.
base basketball second start team type until using
The base of our team is our athleticism and our quickness. We didn't start using that until the second half. That's the type of basketball we have to play to be successful.
guys starting step
I think they are starting to get it a little bit. We have guys who are starting to step up right now.
league oklahoma stern understand year
(NBA commissioner David) Stern and the league put us all in a bind. We understand the situation. We're going to play another year in Oklahoma City, and then after that we have no idea what's going to happen.
ford home loud
It was great. It was a lot like home at the Ford Center. When we had our little lulls, they were loud and got us back into it.
adjusting constantly everybody guys move shifting shock worn
I think guys are still adjusting a little, but I think the shock of the move has worn off. I think everybody here is pretty much settled. But just like me, you don't have everything from home, New Orleans, that you had, so you're constantly shifting stuff.
effort energy played
I thought (Bass) was going to go up there and at least make one. I thought he played really well tonight. There's a lot of things he still has to learn, but his energy and his effort were big for us.
chance city days fact felt few game guilty guys katrina last left
Just the fact that all of those guys had a chance to be here for a few days and get around the city and see some of the devastation that Katrina left made them feel a little guilty. I think the guys felt a little guilty after the last game that they had to come in and give a better effort.
