bench easy guy kyle starting
For a guy to be starting and then go to the bench is not always an easy thing. Fortunately for me, you have a guy like Kyle who will do anything for us to be successful.
bench bit certainly chris games guys minutes played problem rely scale stretch stronger
A back problem is what it is, and with Chris having played as many minutes as he has over his career, now certainly we'll scale back his minutes. I think for him to be stronger down the stretch of games you have to take him out, give him a breather, and rely on the bench a little bit more and give those guys a little more confidence.
phase pick
I thought everyone had to pick up every phase of our game.
less minutes start trying
I think less minutes is something that we're going to start trying to do now.
allen ball defensive game good offensive phase pick shared team
I just thought that everyone had to pick up every phase of our game because Allen wasn't playing. We did that on the offensive end and the defensive end. We shared the ball and we did a lot of good things team wise.
sam starting
Sam is working his way back in the lineup. I don't know when. He will be back starting at some point. I just want him to be consistent; I want him to be aggressive, that's all. It has something to do with Steven; it has something to do with us as a team.
reason record saw
You saw the reason why they have the record they have ? they do a lot of little things.
caught good job offensive phoenix players push team
I thought that we did a pretty good job in not getting caught up in the way Phoenix played. We don't have the offensive players that they have. Any team can get caught in the way they push the ball.
guys
I thought all of the guys had a lot of energy.
shots
He made some shots that probably only he can make.
ability ball guys shooting shot
If they're not shooting the ball that well it can be a little tough, but they have different guys who have the ability to shoot the ball the way they shot it tonight.
allen few game guys time tolerate wants
Allen is one of the few guys who can tolerate a lot of pain, and at game time you know he really wants to play. We take him for granted.
felt
At halftime, we were down and I felt like we had to will this one. We had to go and get it; I think it was our will that got us back in the game.
bit defensive
I think we're getting a little bit better on the defensive end. That's where we're going to make our move.
