coaching happens hope improves
If something happens and it improves our team, it happens. If something doesn't happen you've got to keep coaching and hope you coach them better.
gave run tried
He's great. He made shots. He's phenomenal. We tried to run with him and gave up 71 points.
arguably best help positive somebody tells vibes
He's your leader, he's arguably your best player. We got a young team. They look up to somebody like him. If he doesn't show positive vibes it's not going to help them. He always tells me, 'No coach, I'm involved, I'm not getting down.' I said, 'Sometimes you have to show them that.' Again, that's not his nature, but it would be helpful.
certain hard listens looking might perceived time
He has a hard time looking at me sometimes because of how he might be perceived by certain people, but he listens to everything I say.
eric hamilton played richard rip snow
I did it with Rip ( Richard Hamilton ), Eric Snow . How many times do you get to see your team? And he's so current. He played with all those guys.
doctors gave possibly straight time
We gave him as much time as we possibly could, but the doctors aren't going to let him play if they think he's going to do any damage. So we'll just get straight about what's going on. From what they tell me, it's about pain.
gotten horrible missed possession quarter third
We had a horrible quarter in the third quarter ... we had gotten it down two and it was a long possession and Brevin made a big shot. Then we missed the jumper and had some lapses.
We just don't know how to win, don't know how to finish.
guys hope pick reminding veteran
You hope that you have some veteran guys who will pick them up, and as a coach, I have to keep reminding them of that. But it's difficult.
hope talk watching
You hope by watching it that they'll do something about it. It's kind of befuddling right now because we talk about the same things over and over again.
chance guys talents
To have two guys back there, having those kind of talents is unique. And the little kid, he has a chance to be pretty special.
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. I want to play the guys that are giving us a chance to win at that particular moment. My hope is that Eddy Curry can play 40 minutes every game.
cutting forget guys nobody setting six worked
You guys forget everything we worked on for six days, ... Nobody is setting a screen, cutting and we end up with a (bad) shot.
bunch expect open opened sitting trailers
When you open the door, you expect to see a bunch of trailers sitting there. We opened the door, and there wasn't anything sitting there.
