locker needed
With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.
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.
acted chest ovation point points pump standing trying
I was just trying to point out to him, you get a standing ovation and pump your chest and Allen's got 25,000 points and he acted like (it was) no big deal.
five good last learn minutes points seem teaching
I was concerned. We made those last five minutes seem like a year. But there were a lot of good teaching points in that. We had breakdowns but managed to get a win. We can learn from it.
came case either halftime looked points second third
At halftime I think out of 47 points, 27 of them came out of either turnovers or second shots. And then in the third quarter, I think we were down 24, I looked they had 28 points off turnovers and we had two. And I think that's been the case all year.
ball call maybe points rest score shoot team walk year
As I told the team, maybe we'll walk the ball up the rest of the year and call a play every time, so the other team can't score 120 points and shoot 57%.
guard looked points
It's the same old same old. We can't guard anyone. They got 33 points on the break. It looked like that could have had 100.
break good guard job points
Same old, same old - we can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. They had 33 points on the break and could have had 100.
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.
francis impact practice steve
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.
farthest point
He's the farthest thing from a point guard.
