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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
hairy importance stop
It got hairy at the end, but it's going to be hairy at times. You've just got to be able to find a way to win. The importance of it is being able to stop the run.
everywhere feet game looked stuck took
They took the game to us. It just looked like they were everywhere and our feet were stuck in the mud.
judged perfectly simple understand year
I would like to see us play perfectly every time. But that's not going to happen. We understand this year we're going to be judged on how we do as a group. It's as simple as that.
doses familiar gradually great major needs practice situation
He'll gradually get back to where he needs to be as long as he doesn't get major doses of minutes. It would be great to have more practice time, but he's been in this situation before and he's familiar with it.
balls chance continue goes good lose love shoot
It just goes to show you even if you shoot well, the turnovers are going to get you. You would love to have a chance to see if you can continue to shoot a good percentage, but those balls you lose to turnovers are fast-break opportunities for the other team. The wins, you take them and run.
line maybe nba post shoot skill stretch
He has an NBA skill and that's that he can post up and score. He can also shoot from midrange and I think he'll be able to stretch it maybe to the NBA 3-point line down the line.
danny games ideal
It's not an ideal situation, but Danny has started a lot of games (17) for us this year. We've been down that road.
closet guy love three voting
I have been voting for this guy as an all-star for three years. I am no closet fan. I am an out-there fan. I love the way he plays, and he is a guy you really fear.
coming game needs rhythm
His conditioning for the game is getting where it needs to be and his rhythm is coming back.
