couple execution last minutes
Execution down the stretch, that's been our story the last couple games. We haven't done the little things in the last couple minutes of the game.
along basketball brings experience iq kevin loved mark people position quickly talked wealth
He brings a wealth of experience that I like, that we need at that position to go along with Kevin (Garnett at forward). We'll see how it goes. We'll see how quickly we can get Mark acclimated. His basketball IQ is high. I talked to a lot of people that loved him.
days fight good lost spirited
I've said this all along; I do want to play Marko. And Marko has had two good days of spirited practice. He's got that fight back. He's got that spirit back that I liked. I thought he lost that.
example great men scoring
He should be a great example for young men who think that scoring is the most important thing.
coaching good great players whether
From a coaching standpoint, I would say I would like to have other players involved. He's a great player, you can't take that away from him. It's entertaining, it's good for the league. Whether it's good for his teammates, I don't know.
five stick three together
They are the measuring stick of the league. They have been together for what? Five years? We've been together for three games.
experience great learning
It's a great learning experience for all these guys.
couple good job running shooting weeks
Rashad did a very good job for us, running the break, shooting the three, spotting up. I've said this for a couple weeks - he's really improving.
lose suicide
It would be suicide to lose Kevin. That's not even part of my thought process.
heck job
Bracey did a heck of a job down the stretch. He was more comfortable and I think he relaxed.
flexible goal ready starting trade
It's your goal starting out to make the playoffs. I didn't see not making the playoffs, no, I didn't, not at all. First, I didn't see the trade (with Boston) coming. I didn't see going into the development direction. But again, you've got to be ready for that and flexible for that as an organization being on the same page.
happy nobody playing taylor video
Nobody should be happy with the way we're playing right now, from Mr. Taylor all the way on down to our video guy.
ball catalyst defensive knocking leader shots
He's also been the catalyst I think for those guys. Getting the ball into them, being the quarterback, being the defensive guy, knocking down big shots and being the leader of that team. I think he's been huge.
balls build deserved diving guys trying winning
These are young guys and we're trying to win. For me to build a winning environment, you have to try to win every night. These guys were scratching and diving for balls and they deserved to win.
