basically defend definitely gives great guy impact instinct physical shut
He's definitely had an impact on the way we defend because he is a great defender. He gives us a guy who can basically shut down people. He also does things you just can't teach. Every situation, he has great instinct and he has great physical ability.
attitude behind gives great guys hard high kid opportunity player playing terrific type veteran works
He's been a terrific young guy. He hasn't had an opportunity to play much because he is playing behind veteran guys but we are very high on him. We think he is going to be a player in this league. He is the type of kid who every day he comes to work. He works hard and never gives in. That is a great attitude to have.
game gives home huge stay type
This is the type of home game that really gives you a boost. We've made a huge climb. Now that's we're over (.500), we have to stay over it.
break floor gives grows guy people team time willing
He's very willing to do that. He gives us something we really haven't had: A guy that can put it on the floor and break people down. I think we should give it some time and see how this team grows together.
guys last missed open played seven shots ton
I thought out guys played hard. We missed ton of shots in the last seven minutes, open shots.
looked matter message possible send
I think the Spurs are going to play the same no matter who's out there. When I looked at the tape, I thought it's possible they'll send a message and (upgrade) it to a flagrant foul, but I had no idea they would suspend him.
last liked night saw shoot shot
I saw Brent shoot that shot so many times last night, I can't tell you. And I always liked Brent before.
game guys win
Our guys did everything but win the game.
hands helping nice seeing teammates
We're challenging shots, getting hands on passes, helping teammates and seeing what the other team is doing. It's nice to see the activity.
chance stops
We executed offensively, and we got the stops we needed. Now we have a chance to even it up on Sunday.
attack court dangerous second spread stop
We couldn't stop them in the second half. Once they got going that's who they are. They spread the court and attack you. They are a dangerous team.
double guys played playing seven
We played seven and all seven had double figures. We've been playing better and better offensively. We're getting more used to each other and our young guys are playing better.
finish realize
We had a lot of chances, but we just didn't finish. You've got to finish strong, and we just didn't do it. We were right there again, and we have to realize we have to finish. You've got to keep playing.
aggressive coming kevin practice shots taking
Kevin is coming out aggressive and taking the shots that are there. We see it every day, now he's just transferring it from practice to the games.
