against basketball brand competitor game half hard hell job minutes playing practice second time visualize wants
As I've said before, it's hard for me to visualize him actually playing 20 minutes of basketball a game because he doesn't participate in practice very often and he just wants to play in the game. That philosophically doesn't make any sense to me. I think he has a big- time heart. I think he's a big-time competitor and he did a hell of a job in the second half against Brand in Game 1.
series sometime
I think he'll be able to play sometime in this series if we need him.
ball basically bit defenders defense help knock move pass playing sets shots
They are basically playing the box-and-1 on 'Melo most of the night. We have to find a way to move 'Melo around and help him and get the ball to him before the defense sets a little bit better. We also have to pass the ball and knock down some shots to get the defenders away from him.
deal internal matter
This is an internal matter that we will deal with in-house.
appreciate coaching worrying
I appreciate (the apology). But, right now, I'm worrying about coaching the games.
anybody aspects basketball develop knows
Anybody that knows basketball knows Melo has got to develop the other aspects of his game.
maybe responsibility teach trying year
Melo has got to go through this. We can't teach with film. We can't teach it with books. . . . Maybe the year he's had we have too much responsibility for him. But he's listening. . . . He's trying to become special.
answer gut hoping persevere says stay strong
Will it energize us or de-energize us? I can't answer that. I'm hoping we'll all be strong and persevere and stay together. My gut says we're going to do that, but only (tonight) will tell us the answer.
american-coach basketball dogs fence lower
When you have Ruben Patterson and Reggie Evans out there? When you don't know what play to run, just let them play? Let them go into the backyard, lower the fence and let the dogs go do it.
win
Without Andre, we're done. We can't win without Andre.
trying matter complaining
The truth of the matter is, we're not far away from where we should be. We can complain about the problem or we can go out and solve the problem. I choose to go out and try to solve the problem.
team care doe
Good teams don't care about who scores. Good teams just care about scoring; they don't care who does it.
coke machines rebound
A coke machine can get a rebound in 20 minutes.
basketball running reality
I would never predict a run like that. Last season, that's beyond reality. I think we can go 25-14. I think we can play 10 games over .500, even more than (that) over .500, and that would be a great run. Any time you go 30-15 or something like that, that's pretty incredible basketball.
