ball care lead league playoff points team telling trouble turned
I think if you look at the M.O. of this team all year, we have had trouble making stops. We have turned the ball over, we lead the league in turnovers, points of turnovers, and assist-to-turnovers. I keep telling them if you want to play playoff basketball, you've got to take care of the ball and execute. We don't get it and we have to keep working on it.
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.
few lead league points press trouble
We lead the league in turnovers. Did you see them press on us? It's every game. We have few assists and a lot of turnovers. As much as we have trouble as we have guarding people, to give up 30 points on turnovers, it's even more difficult.
foul game gets longer shape stays trouble
When he gets into a little better shape and stays out of foul trouble, he'll stay in the game for longer stretches.
amazed david home jackson night restraint situation stern trouble
I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.
home trouble
He'd be in a lot more trouble when he got at home if he didn't do what he did.
chance stopping trouble
We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.
home trouble
Antonio would be in a lot more trouble if he went home and hadn't done anything.
coming starting team trouble
I'd have trouble coming up with a starting team some games. Where are you going to get your offense?
against almost front good guard job keeping people plays script trouble
We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.
ball half hang struggled turned
I thought the first half we really struggled offensively and turned the ball over a lot, but we just managed to hang in defensively and that was critical.
rookies situation tough
I thought they were a little tired, ... and then I thought down the stretch, I don't want to put the rookies in a tough situation like that.
process time understand
I think we just sometimes don't understand how we get leads, and time and score. We're just young and this is the process you've got to live with.
brought defensive fair intensity kids quarter third took
I think we didn't have much defensive intensity at all in the third quarter. The third quarter was not what we expected, so I wanted to put the young kids in and they brought us back into the game. I didn't think it would be fair if I took them out.
