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.
gentle guys
Oh, these guys won't be gentle about that. You know that much on this team.
ball found game great guys kept moving open swing trap until won
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement.
action believe great guys job stuff title
I want these guys to be great players, I really do, but I also want them to be professional. I don't know if that comes into my job title or not, but I believe it does. So when that stuff happens, you have to take an action that you don't really want to take.
confidence days focus focused guys loss obviously seem snap spend time today tougher trying work
It's tougher obviously after a loss because guys are down emotionally. On days after a loss sometimes you've really got to snap their focus in. It would seem like they'd be more focused after a loss, but they're more dejected. Their confidence is down. You spend have the time trying to work them into it. Today we didn't have to do that.
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.
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.
beat guys
No, our guys know about Miami. Of all the things that can beat us (tonight), that shouldn't be one of them.
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.
guys rich wealthy win
The rich get richer. It's always the wealthy guys that win those games.
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.
gave guys
I don't think our young guys gave us anything.
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.
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.
