goes himself history sat takes
Well, it's been my history with him when he goes out of the game, he's sat out in the past. I don't think he takes himself out lightly.
block drives game jumping nobody played putting soft taking
We played very soft, a non-contact game. We had Wilcox jumping over us the whole game with no block out, drives with nobody putting a body in front, taking soft fouls and unnecessary fouls. I was just very disappointed.
brings cannot great guys last passion results rode shoot shooting wave
We cannot shoot the ball. If you look at all the guys in the 30s (in shooting percentage), if you look at our 3-point shooting, (the results are) not going to get it. Last year, we rode the wave of great shooting. That brings passion and energy. When you're not shooting well in today's NBA, it's very deflating.
defender draw dribble few good guys league offense second whether
We have good enough players, but there are very few guys in this league who can draw a second defender to them. Those are the guys who make your offense good, whether it's a post-up guy, a dribble penetration guy or a pick-and-roll guy.
jumping played
We played a very soft, non-contact game. We had Wilcox jumping over us the whole game.
hard
We put nothing into the game. Give them all the credit. I said this before the game, I never see them play anything but well. They come out and play hard every night.
areas handling inferior shot
We put nothing into the game. It was not just effort. Shot making, handling the ball, discipline, quickness, we were inferior in all those areas tonight. When you put very little into the game, you get very little out of the game.
gone happy ready schedule small team tough
We're a little small right now and may not have as much firepower as some teams, but for the most part we come ready to play. We've had a tough schedule and I am happy with how the team has gone about business.
ready small team
We're a little small right now, and we may not have as much firepower as some teams, but our team for the most part comes ready to play, ready to practice. You get their best.
belief developed game goes practice sacramento season since
We have enough players, and we've developed a game. Most of it goes to the belief. It's been that way since the practice after the Sacramento game (the Nov. 2 season opener) that he's been in and out so much.
defense gives hard hoped league multiple pause watched
We didn't try hard enough. Defense in this league is about making multiple efforts, going from one thing to the next. We stood, watched and hoped that he (Cook) would miss. It gives you pause to think what do we really have here. What do we really have?
gives hard pause pit team wants
We didn't try hard enough. It gives you pause to think what do we really have here? We should've been frothing at the mouth, like pit bulls. I so much want to have a team that really, really, really wants to play every day, every night.
ball guard help
We didn't guard the ball well and we didn't help appropriately.
ball bit guard half help ready second sleepy turned
We didn't guard the ball well and we didn't help appropriately. I think they (the Hornets) were probably sleepy a little bit, not ready to play. I had a little bit to do with it. They turned it up in the second half and we had no response.
