effort eight matched minutes
I didn't think we, other than the first seven, eight minutes (of the game), matched their energy. Their effort was phenomenal.
fair
I didn't think it would be fair to take them out.
equate guys money
Because guys are making a lot of money doesn't always equate to wins.
bad
Channing couldn't get out. That's a bad play on my part.
best faced until
But until we find out what our best lineup is, this is what we're going to have to be faced with.
careful hopefully rest
Hopefully I can be careful with him and rest him.
arenas assist guy hard indicative leading points pressure ran team
Hopefully, he'll be all right. If not will have a little more pressure on him, and Jamal will have to play. It's hard for him right now. He doesn't know any plays. Not that we ran any the first half. But Arenas was phenomenal, getting 46 points in 30 minutes. What's indicative of our team is Malik was the leading assist guy with three. We had 28 turnovers.
anywhere ball front good greater hustle job keeping took
He took the ball anywhere he wanted to. He made every hustle play and he got to the rim. We just didn't do a good job of keeping it in front of us, and his will was much greater than ours.
hard instead please trying
He's trying so hard to please me, instead of just playing,
ready
He told me that he'll be ready on Tuesday.
He told me, 'I don't ever want to see these again,'
days four
He told me he was stiff, he said go to Jamal (Crawford). I've said the same thing for four days now.
five gotten weeks
He told me he was here five weeks ago. He said we'd gotten better. That makes me feel good.
behind bigger butler david guys hard jackie kids lee level nowhere rest takes worked
He's way behind where he will be, but he's worked very hard and he's getting better every day. He's nowhere up to the level of conditioning that Channing Frye, David Lee and Jackie Butler and the rest of our young kids are at this time. But I always think that it takes bigger guys longer.
