handle joe puts versatile
It puts more on everybody, but Joe is versatile enough that he'll handle the situation.
few hurt mix percent pickup run sure tests training
He hurt it the other day during a pickup game, and we just wanted to run a few tests to make sure everything was fine. We wanted to make sure he was 100 percent before we put him out there in the mix for training camp.
believing easy five guys josh lock locking noise point run smith trying
I think Marvin and Josh Smith are going to make some noise because they can do so many things. If they can get out and run and make some easy buckets they'll be fine. I just have to get them to the point where they can lock down defensively. If we can get five guys locking in and believing in what we're trying to do, we'll be all right defensively.
commitment defense trying
It's ridiculous. Our commitment to defense is awful. We're not even trying to defend.
happy
I'm happy for Boris. He didn't want to be here. He's in a place where he's happy and comfortable.
careful matters possible ready risk sure track wearing worse
But I can't risk making matters worse by wearing him out right now. We'll be as careful as possible while making sure we get him back on track and ready for the season.
extremely played
He played extremely well. He didn't play like a rookie.
add build continue people scary
The scary part is he's going to get better, I think. We've got to continue to build and add more people around him.
finish free line reputation team throw
We can't get a reputation for being a team that can't get to the free throw line and can't finish games.
cutting games happens lead setting sharing
We got complacent. That's what happens in games like this. We did everything to get the lead right away by sharing the ball, cutting and setting screens. But when they stiffened up their defense, we just settled.
game second trim
We had 22 turnovers in our first game and 17 in our second and we have to trim that back to 15 or 13,
great learn locker team
We just have to learn from this, because that's a great team over in that locker room.
fun sitting tv watching
This thing of sitting here watching it on TV is not fun for me.
calls driving guys hands
To me, that's it in a nutshell. He doesn't get any calls . When he's driving to the basket, guys have their hands all over him, and there's nothing called. It doesn't make sense.
