awhile beginning hopefully next rest shut sudden time
Dr. Callahan told me let's shut it down awhile and give him some time to rest because he hasn't done anything (like this) in two years, ... It's a lot different than working out on your own and then all of sudden being in this kind of environment. So we're going to shut it down a little bit. Hopefully he'll be back the beginning of next week. We'll know a lot more then.

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.

They executed great, made shots and we had a hard time guarding them all night.

The direction is not going the way we would all like and we've got to do something about that. This is a pretty good time from now until All-Star break to kind of assess where we're going, but I do really feel good about a lot of the pieces here and I think a lot of them have a chance to get a lot better.

It depends on who the guys are. I've heard Michael do it. Because everybody knew he tried to do everything the right way all the time I think they could handle it.
