moved trying win
We've moved on. It's unfortunate. But we're just trying to win without him.
compete excited good high level move obviously playing team tough wish
We're excited to move up in the standings by winning. I wish I could say we are playing really good basketball, but we obviously have struggled. It's been a tough road. We've got some things to do to look more like a team that can really compete at a high level in the playoffs.
closer happened knew last memphis moved night schedule week
He may have moved his schedule up because of what happened in Memphis last night. We knew he was getting closer and closer. I thought it could be this week some time.
calm cut half hopeful move needs
He just wasn't able to cut on it and move the way he needs to. We are just hopeful that with another day and a half of rest, it'll calm down and he'll be able to play.
feels hope move saturday struggling tried
He tried it, but he was struggling to move out there. We'll hope he feels better Saturday (at Milwaukee).
deal move
You have to just move on and deal with it. That's about it.
ball crossed figured good jack laid movement open react switched
We set it up a little differently. AJ (Johnson) had been going good and we figured that they react to his movement on the court. They switched everything and got crossed up. Jack got open and laid the ball in.
certain game moved warming
Before the game when (Foster) was warming up, before we went out for real warm-ups, he moved a certain way and it went out on him.
adjustment ball continue essential movement running time
It's essential that we have some time to get him re-integrated into our team. There's going to be an adjustment here because we've been running a lot more, we've been doing a lot more movement stuff. We're going to have to continue with that but at times the ball is going to have to go through him inside.
coming energy gives giving gordon guy instant last mobility move proved scoring size year
That move gives them more scoring off the bench. Gordon is a guy that proved last year he's instant offense. They have Chandler also coming off the bench, giving them size and mobility and energy there.
against areas bad chance course everybody good move news opportunity ourselves playing stuff win
It's bad news that we had an opportunity to move up and didn't, but it's good news that everybody lost. Right now, that stuff isn't as important as how we're playing over a course of 48 minutes. We have to tighten some areas to give ourselves a chance to win against anybody.
came decided move struggling
He (Jackson) tried, but he was struggling to move out there. When he came out, we just decided he couldn't go anymore.
clear cut move needs tonight wrong
It was clear that having him out there tonight would be the wrong thing to do. He just wasn't able to cut on it and move the way he needs to.
carter difference played
I thought we played hard. I thought we rebounded well. (Jason) Kidd and (Vince) Carter are difference makers.
