The zone tonight was a big problem. The zone slowed us down and made us stagnant and not as aggressive.
He really is something, ... He not only has met all those incredible expectations, he has blown them out of the water. He has built the expectations for the next generation.
I don't need to meet with him. I'm not going to make this no pressing issue. I spoke with him one time. That's that.
Everybody from A to Z has to be ready to play, and sometimes that's not the case. It's a little more difficult on the road, dealing with the crowd and different elements, but that's no excuse.
It was hard. Very hard, ... But, what's new around here? Other than these teammates. That's to be expected from Kevin.
It's going to be damn near Jesus Christ the next person to come and do the things he's been doing because he's a naturally gifted kid.
I knew I wanted to do something, ... But I didn't know in detail what I wanted to do.
Everybody, including the coaches, keep looking forward to the playoffs, the playoffs. But we need to focus on one game at a time instead of looking down the road.
It's not good, but what we're doing now is trying to prepare for next year. That's the reality. We have 17 games to go. I was just focusing on trying to win at least one of these games on the road.
I've never been opposed to a reunion. I've always let him know that I'm going to be in Minnesota, and he's always let me know he's going to be in New York. So I guess we've got a problem. Different parts of the world, dealing with the map is probably the issue at this point.
The third quarter has been our Achilles heel pretty much the whole year.
They give to us all year long. This is three days when the league comes together to give some of it back to them.
Speedy I think hit five or six shots in a row. We had it tied a couple times, and we know that they like to come down and play that pick and roll, which is a fake pick and roll. Speedy hadn't hit that many jumpers up until that point, but he was sort of streaky. He hit a couple jumpers, and we never recovered from that.
If it's anything different from that, then, at the end-of-the-season discussion, we have to talk about it. I don't want to go through another season like this, to be honest with you.
