talked
We all went to him. We all talked to him ... What are you going to say?
pat sit stand
To sit here and think that we're going to stand pat is kind of silly.
entirely great opportunity smart worried
Well, if he's miffed he's not as smart as I think he is. I'm not worried about it. He had a great practice. He'll have an opportunity to play. It's entirely up to him.
establish hurt normal people
We've had so many people hurt at different times we've never been able to establish any normal rotations.
begging compete david kept looking played
We've had a lot of those rallies with some of the young players. It was fun. David kept begging out, and I kept looking the other way because he played . But it was good. If you can compete like that every night, that's real important.
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.
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 kids team
We have a different team now. I think the young kids have gotten better.
cents principle
Two cents really isn't a big deal, it's the principle of it.
players talked talking
We were talking about our team, I kind of let him know about what our players are doing. And then we talked about the Minnesota-Boston trade.
anybody figured frustrated year
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. Anybody who is not frustrated with what's going on this year is not being real. I think we all are frustrated. The only thing I've ever figured out is you have to try harder.
anybody game last looked night
When you don't have anything to play for, you find out a lot about character. The last two games, obviously, were really disappointing in a lot of ways. I looked at the end of the game last night and I didn't see anybody quitting.
false games practice time winning
When you don't have practice time and you get away with winning some games, you get a false sense of who you are.
accomplish bad figure five matter team
We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better.
