locker needed
With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.
field four kept man played run six three
He was phenomenal. I kept (Curry) in with four fouls and we made a little run and then boom, he's out of the game. No blocks, six fouls, three turnovers, no assists, two-for-seven from the field and his man played with unbelievable energy.
days four
He told me he was stiff, he said go to Jamal (Crawford). I've said the same thing for four days now.
fought fourth guys hard positive
In the fourth quarter, we were phenomenal. It would've been a crime, as hard as our guys fought back, not to have anything positive to show for it.
beginning five four front good indicator nobody plays
At the beginning of the game, the first four or five plays they just got to the front of the rim with nobody helping. That was a pretty good indicator of how it went.
fault fourth great guys horrendous quarter trying
They made plays. We didn't make plays. That's been our MO I can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
fault fourth game great guts guys horrendous mistakes overcome quarter time trying win
You can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win the game. But when you make mistakes during the guts of the game and you don't have time to overcome them, it magnifies the mistakes. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
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.
fourth good played
They were great. I thought we played pretty good the first half. In the fourth quarter, we just went to the young kids. They were phenomenal.
enthusiasm fight horrified looking proud
I was just looking for something to give us enthusiasm and effort, ... I would have been horrified if they didn't fight back. But I was proud of the effort.
evaluate
He's out 'til after All-Star break, and then we'll evaluate him after All-Star break.

This is a process. We didn't have Steve Francis with us in practice and that's going to impact us.
coached
They said I was OK. I went to practice. I coached the game. I'm fine. It's a non-issue.
cares difficult guys looking season situations team
Right now, you're looking for guys that you want to keep. Because this is the most difficult part of a season for a team that is not going anywhere, and you can really tell who cares in situations like this.
