We're not losing games because of him. We're losing games because of me and our team.
guys help hopefully people pressure tried
We tried but we just we have some deficiencies that hopefully Jalen will help alleviate. I think he'll take a lot of pressure off the perimeter people and make the big guys bigger.
confident felt help playing talked twice work
We talked and he wasn't getting enough work here. He told me we're playing a lot of games, we've been traveling. He told me he could work out twice a day, and he's done it before and he really felt confident that this would help him.

butler chance giving good guys hope jackie kid lose minutes particular playing somebody win
You guys want me to play the young guys and Jackie Butler has been pretty good. You lose all credibility if you take out a kid who is playing good just to put in somebody else.

We started playing a little fast. We missed a lot of really good shots and I thought we got a little tight. We forgot time and score.
