beat create defense night played playing rhythm side strong team tough
I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
best definitely great left mark played players realize watching
When a person is gone, watching the montage, you realize how long he was here in a Sonic uniform. He did a lot of great things, played in a lot of big games, and played with some of the best players to put on a Sonic uniform. He definitely left his mark on the city.
brought guys meant played
At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything.
chewed difference enthusiasm game half last loss memphis muddy played tonight
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half.
care coming favor guys hopefully knowing played players repay
I played with a lot of young players that don't care and think they have the answers. Just knowing that he wanted to be helped, it was easy. Now, hopefully he'll repay the favor to young guys coming into the league.
basketball feeds great hopefully left man played
I told Reggie he played a great game. He didn't respond. But I told him, 'Win or lose, man you played well.' Hopefully he feeds off that. He's young and has a lot of basketball left to play.
beat game gave hard judge played
It's hard to really judge (the Spurs) because I don't think we gave them much of a challenge. They played their game and beat us. And that's all there was to it.
bit carried fight four game hung liked paramount played since time together tonight wavering winning
It's been a long time since we've won, period. Just winning a game is paramount around here. We haven't played that poorly, we just haven't put together four quarters. Tonight we were wavering a little bit but we hung with it. I liked the fight that we had out there, and that carried us through.
basketball bob complement floor head learning perfect respects
I think we've had a perfect complement of learning basketball and getting in shape. My description of Bob is he's the head coach, he respects us out there on the floor and we do our job.
afford enhancing growing money penalties popular simply space tougher
I think there's a growing realization or acknowledgment in the Legislature that we simply can't afford to get tougher and tougher on penalties every session. Enhancing penalties may have been politically popular in the past, but we simply don't have the money or the (prison) space now to do it.
funky jason passes throws
Jason Kidd throws funky passes all the time. He has a lot of assists, but he also has a lot of turnovers. You've got to take some chances.
caught contest everybody focused turned
We got caught sleeping. We were so focused on the pick-and-roll coverage. Everybody turned and we said, 'Oh, you know what.' We got out to contest the shot, but it was too late.
career games opposite plenty recall side
We got away with one. That was something where I was like, 'Well, what can you do?' I can recall plenty of games in my career where I was on the opposite side of that.
building close games learning lost record track
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves.
