effort gave good guys luggage mind plane selection shot
I thought some guys gave good effort tonight, but some have their luggage in mind on the plane already. Turnovers and shot selection killed us.
best guys stay suck worrying
As a coach, you've got to do what's best for the team. If guys don't like it, they're going to leave. If they stay and don't like it, well, your team's going to suck anyway. Even if this happens, you still have to do it. You can't coach worrying about any individual.
gave guys
I don't think our young guys gave us anything.
coach guy loves numbers opened people trade
He was kind of a throw-in guy in the trade to make the numbers work, but he has come in here and opened my eyes. Our big-man coach loves him, loves all the little things he does. He's a banger. He's physical. We need that. He's going to make it very interesting. I think he's already making people uncomfortable.
burn four guys halftime kept open quarter reason shots soft third though three won
We just kept scratching. I told our guys at halftime that I thought our first half was as soft defensively as we'd been all year. And we started our third quarter out the same way. They got three or four open shots and I had to burn two timeouts but then I thought our bench, even though they were outscored in a big way, was the reason we won the game.
extremely guys heard time
You heard their voices. Our young guys were extremely verbal. It's the first time we heard their voices.
backward guys hopefully step stuff taken team unless win
We're going to win the division, ... If we don't, we've taken a step backward unless our young guys have done something where you can see hope. But I'm going to tell you this, and hopefully it won't be often: That young team stuff is not going to be used as a crutch. OK, we're young. So what?
beat guys
No, our guys know about Miami. Of all the things that can beat us (tonight), that shouldn't be one of them.
guys rich wealthy win
The rich get richer. It's always the wealthy guys that win those games.
aggressive ball couple felt friday great guys hit job quick react reacting score tried
Ryan's been great. I still want him to be more aggressive on the post. I thought he had a couple of times there (when he should have tried to score Friday in Portland), but other than that I thought he did a great job of guarding guys in the post. He is quick to react to the ball. There were times I felt he was reacting to the ball before it hit the rim.
basketball easier evaluate following games guys handle playoff regular year
As a staff, you get to see how your guys handle playoff basketball, and I think it's easier to evaluate in playoff games what you need for the following year than it is in the 82-game regular season.
drive guy stared
He stared at me every freaking timeout. And I told our coaches, 'We've got to put this guy in or he's going to drive me nuts.' Honestly, that's why I put him in.
amazing anybody gets guy score
It really was awesome. I didn't think anybody could score 81 points. And he didn't play well in the first half. The amazing part was he didn't get tired. That guy never gets tired.
close games guys hard playing season
It's been the story of our season that we're close enough but we just can't close games out. I told the guys they are playing hard and they just have to live with it.
