people team
What's the criteria? Make your team better. Then look at the record, the people around them and then make a decision.
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.
beat defend dribble expect open road
When you get beat on dribble penetration, it's going to open up a lot of things. You can't defend on the road like this and expect to win.
drive jump shot
Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!
bring decided exactly happened hard reluctant team watched work
We were reluctant to (go). We went out, watched it and it did bring us together. (The team in the movie) didn't do well at the beginning, but after hard work and discipline, they decided to come together. That's exactly what happened for us.
except passes
We didn't make any passes except to them.
calls couple great job second tough
We did a great job in the second half. There were a couple tough calls down the stretch, but when you are down 25, you have to be perfect. We got close, but did not get it done.
blown chance far games good last needed three win
We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.
ball defense early foul interior second shooting talk team trouble turning
We can talk all we want, but if the team is shooting 65% and we're turning the ball over and we get in early foul trouble you can't make it a high-possession game. The second half, we didn't make it a high-possession game. We don't have the interior defense right now if we do get beat. We can't play like them.
second
When it happens, it happens. It's the second day, so I don't think it's critical.
beginning cut except remember seven third
We cut it to seven at the beginning of the third quarter, and then I don't remember us making a pass, except to them.
direction moving people positive
We don't see it as a crisis, we see it as really moving in a positive direction for the people we serve.
beat becomes bunch dribble guys jason pass shoot
We got beat on dribble penetration and that was huge. They have a bunch of guys that can shoot and pass the ball. When you have Jason (Kidd), it becomes contagious.
compete fun watching younger
We got close, but did not get it done. But it was fun watching them compete and watching the younger guys.
