happens
Let's see what happens with the MRI and go from there. We're not going to do anything foolish.
almost couple four guys mad pop somebody stumble tripped
Pop told me he had about four guys almost tripped over cords. We had a couple of guys almost stumble off the platform, and somebody got mad at me because I was in the way of a cable.
aware coach nobody train
Nobody can train you or make you aware what it's going to be like to coach in New York.
carries commented effort hard leaders nice tony
One of the refs commented to me how hard they were trying. That's nice to hear. Tony Davis' effort was phenomenal. Leaders do that, and it carries over.
commented hard
One of the referees even commented to me about how hard they were trying.
coach gone people proud sorry
I was sorry that the crowd, some of the people booed him, that's never what any coach would like to see happen. I want to coach him and I want to make him better and I don't want him to have to go through what he's gone through. I really was proud of the way he acted.
finding francis imagine playing reason together
I wouldn't imagine that Marbury and Francis would be comfortable not playing a lot of minutes. We're also finding out if they can play together and so far, I don't see any reason why they can't.
players wish
I wish this would get over. It's really about the players and us getting better.
badly coach excited felt fun game good guys trying
When you're a coach and you see guys trying and you don't get a win, you want badly for something good to happen, ... I sensed after the game they really felt good about it, they were excited about it. That was fun to see.
feeling finally nice struggling trying
We had been struggling badly. It's a nice feeling to have. We've been trying and finally got one.
create double league nice open outside post presence teams trying
Obviously, without Eddy we don't have a post presence. We have to do it on the perimeter a bit. But you know we're trying to get to the rim . . . The whole thing in this league is that when you have a low-post presence, you can create double teams to open up outside shots. If you have a perimeter presence that can penetrate and kick, it's the same situation. It would be nice to have both.
hard positive seems spin though
When we started the season, even though we were losing, I thought we were making progress. Now, it seems like we're not making progress. It's hard to put a positive spin on it.
figure fill
When the (season) is over, we've got two first-round picks, we've got expiring contracts, we've got assets. And we'll figure out, if we've got needs, how to fill them.
food
There's no other food that can say that. But it's going to take a while.
