dallas took
I thought Dallas took us to the woodshed, especially in the first half. We didn't come out like we were on a three-game skid.
basket
Kevin's basket was the back breaker. That's in our playbook, and we executed it perfectly.
happy plan year
There was nothing about this year that we're happy about. There's frustration for everyone. But we do have a plan. The plan is to get better in a lot of areas.
basketball best shot somebody
I think he's making his best basketball play. I don't think he's being too unselfish. If somebody has a better shot than you, you've got to make the play.
calls couple coverage double faces fourth people single triple
He made the right read and the right calls a couple times. That's what he faces in the fourth quarter. He does not face single coverage. He faces double coverage, triple coverage a lot of times in the fourth quarter. The people around him have to make plays.
attack driving guys offensive points positive scoring though
Our positive was Rashad scoring 18 points but on the other end you have guys driving by you going to the basket. I thought though his offensive attack and feel was good.
decide dilemma fred front good nba office trying wants whether
I think right now Fred is just trying to decide what he wants to do, whether he wants to coach, be in the front office or play. I think he could do all three. He still can make shots. He's very knowledgeable of the NBA to be in the front office or to be a coach. It's a good dilemma to have.
aggressive attack everyday kevin knock shots tonight until wants
I see the same Kevin. Kevin wants to win; he wants to attack. I see him everyday and I see the same passion. I thought tonight that they were double-teaming him and I think that's kind of what got him out of whack. Until we knock down shots and be aggressive and attack the rim, he's going to see that.
aggressive basket second stopped
It really is frustrating. For some reason, we stopped being aggressive and going to the basket in the second half. We did become tentative, and we've got to get out of that.
behind joking laughing
You're out there getting your behind whipped. You shouldn't be out there laughing and joking around.
definitely exhibition extend games minutes preserve ready sure
Not only because of the sprained ankle; we definitely want to make sure that we preserve him in these exhibition games and not extend his minutes so he's ready and fresh.
cutting goes practice recipe season
As the season goes on, that's going to be the recipe for him, cutting back his practice time. If you're a 10-year veteran, there are not a lot of new things you're going to learn.
close confidence excited game great guys hard run team win
I thought it was great for our confidence in close games, to come out and close the game, and win a game when a team is making a hard run at you like that. We're excited about it. The guys are excited about it.
quarter second tall
Our second quarter killed us. If we get anything at all in the second quarter, we're in tall cotton.
