beat defensive playing points
I'm a defensive coach, and we're not playing defensive-minded. You can't give up 118 points and beat anybody.
beat games great hopefully last sign team
It's great for us to come in here and beat a team like this. These last two games we haven't cracked, and hopefully that's a sign of maturity.
beat commitment defend giving points scoring team trying
It's ridiculous. Our commitment to try and defend is awful. We are not even trying to defend. We're scoring enough points. You're not going to beat a team giving up 125 points in this league.
beat came far fourth quarters third ways
I think we were embarrassed in that first half. They outplayed us in every way. They beat us in all ways that you could. We came out and competed in the third and fourth quarters but were just too far down.
ball beat four help hump next teams three threw
I've got to help them get over the hump somehow. We're right there ... and we threw the ball away three of the next four possessions. You're not going to beat teams like that.
dealing funny
That's the funny thing when you're dealing with young guys, 19-year-olds,
busting fun guys locker
It's all about those guys in the locker room. They've been busting their butts. It's fun winning.
few key
I thought there were a few key plays. We just have so much to overcome.
fourth move quarter stagnant
The fourth quarter we went flat. We just didn't execute, we didn't move the ball, we got very stagnant and we were able to be guarded.
billy bringing figure manager maybe monday next sit week
Salim will be back on Monday and we'll sit down next week and maybe think about bringing someone in, but I don't know who that's going to be. I'll sit down with Billy (general manager Billy Knight) and figure out what to do next.
again biggest came cap joe shot tip
Joe came up big again tonight. You have to tip your cap to him, he made the biggest shot of the night.
coming enemy fault guys tonight worst
I can't fault our guys and their effort. We were our own worst enemy tonight coming down the stretch.
bottom goes huge joe line piece saying terms trying turning ultimately
I think it goes without saying that Joe is a huge piece to what we're trying to do in terms of turning this thing around and ultimately making the playoffs, which is the bottom line and why I'm here.
add atlanta background excited extremely great learn player soon talent
I am extremely excited to add a player of Joe's background to our team. He is a great young talent. Atlanta will soon learn how important it was to finalize this deal.
