hold playing time walk
We always hold out hope. Mathematically we're still in it. Every time we walk out on the floor, we're playing for something and we're playing for improvement.
attack bit catch creates man room space
We're more in an attack mode, which creates rebounding lanes and a little bit more space where his man has to help. He can get it, catch it and has a little more room to operate.
chance game gave good medicine needed scratch starters worst
We needed a game like this in the worst way. It was good because it gave our starters a chance to play and not have to scratch to be in the game. It was good medicine for us.
forcing love taking understand
Would I love to have them? Yes, but I understand injuries, and there's no use in forcing it or taking any chances.
eddie excellent great griffin job paint playing protecting
Eddie Griffin had a great game. He did an excellent job of protecting the paint and playing big.
confidence difference playing training
I can see a difference in him. In training camp, it was like he was a little lost. Now, he's playing with confidence and like he belongs.

Nobody should be happy with the way we're playing right now, from Mr. Taylor all the way on down to our video guy.

He's doing a very good job of playing under control. He's got his passion back.

Kevin and Wally are playing at an All-Star level. I hope everyone is taking notice that they are playing solid basketball at both ends of the floor.

As long as he is playing at that level, he is our starting center.
addition both brings defend defense experience gain great guard losing nba opportunity player playing point shooting team tough veteran
It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.
ball defend explained key playing push supposed
I've explained to him to get in there and push the ball and defend and do what he's supposed to do when he's starting. The key is getting that opportunity, because Marcus is playing so well right now.
boards defensive hard offensive run
It's hard to run out when you don't get defensive stops. They got so many offensive boards that it slowed down our momentum.
execute mentally
It's not really who you play; it's us. It's how we mentally prepare. It's how we execute offensively. It's how we execute defensively more so than who the other (team) is.
