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.
choose pick statements
You pick and choose your times you make your disciplinary statements and your dictatorial statements and I thought (this) was the time.
deal internal matter
This is an internal matter that we will deal with in-house.
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.
anybody aspects basketball develop knows
Anybody that knows basketball knows Melo has got to develop the other aspects of his game.
appreciate coaching worrying
I appreciate (the apology). But, right now, I'm worrying about coaching the games.
basketball came coach fun team wanting
I came here wanting to be a basketball coach and not wanting to be a politician, not wanting to be a disciplinarian. I like the gym. I like being with the team and I like coaching. And this is not a fun part of coaching.
energy list philosophy priorities thinking waste yes
I don't think that's on my list of priorities right now. But I would think the philosophy of coaching, yes (he will). But I'm not going to waste my energy thinking about (that now).
april bad beat great lose playing poorly weeks
I don't think that's any problem. We've been playing poorly and we beat Detroit. We play great and we lose to a bad team. Of course, you want to probably be on a little better rhythm, but I think actually the first two weeks of April were fine.
bit energy game harder people
This is a harder game to play than most people think it is, where there's a little bit of an energy adrift.
halftime
All I know at halftime is he told us he couldn't go.
andre change equation guard matter plays point shown team tough
Andre, to me, is our guy. He makes us go. When he plays his 'A' game, we're a very tough team to beat. Andre has shown me he's a big-time point guard in this league. Can we do better than that or change it where we can be better, I don't know. But I think Andre can be part of the equation no matter what happens.
basketball mean play
Just because we play in the NBA or coach in the NBA doesn't mean we are not human. We are supermen. For me, getting shot is scary.
retirement children skills
Financial literacy is not an end in itself, but a step-by-step process. It begins in childhood and continues throughout a person's life all the way to retirement. Instilling the financial-literacy message in children is especially important, because they will carry it for the rest of their lives. The results of the survey are very encouraging, and we want to do our part to make sure all children develop and strengthen their financial-literacy skills.
