affect capacity full mean playing time win
It does affect us not having Jermaine O'Neal for sure, but if you don't have him, you have to find a way to win without him. Right now, that has got to mean playing at full capacity all the time and playing with some real efficiency.
course hang heads minutes ourselves stronger time trying
We're trying to hang in. We probably could have done a lot more things over the course of 48 minutes to put ourselves in a stronger position, but we didn't. We don't have much time to hang our heads about this. We've got another one tomorrow.
almost days game good job leading looked might playing practice push three time tough
Three days ago it looked like it might be a possibility. He is doing better. It's just not the right time to push it. Also, if we would have did it, he would have been playing a game without almost any practice time leading up to it, which would have been hard. It makes it tough because he does a good job on (Shaquille O'Neal).
games hang hats healthy time work
Those games were a long time ago. I don't think there's anything there we can hang our hats on. We've got to really work to get healthy and work to tighten up our game.
adjustment amount full good period time
He's done a lot of good things, considering the amount of time he's been out. But also, you can tell there's an adjustment period here. This is going to take some time to get to full strength.
push time
He is doing better, but it's not the right time to push it.
anybody breath certainly crossed fingers guy hold hurt next ok time
He hurt it at the end when he got that put-back, so we'll hold our breath and keep our fingers crossed that he'll be OK (on Thursday) and the next day. He's going to be sore, we know that, but if anybody will play hurt, he's certainly a guy who's done it time after time.
everybody hung last played remember time
I can't remember the last time we had 25 assists. That had a lot to do with it. Everybody hung in and played an important part.
earn player quality time work
Those things work their way out. One thing about getting another quality player is you're going to have to earn your time on the court.
achilles couple further hip last lingering percent problem situation taking timetable treatment
The situation with his hip is very positive, ... He has a lingering Achilles (tendon) problem from last year. He has been taking treatment on it the last couple of months. I think his timetable to play at 100 percent is going to be a little further down the line.
consistent defensive hard mistake time
During this 15-game period, we had competed hard on a consistent basis. And tonight, we had a let down from that. We just didn't have it. Every time we would make a run, we'd make a defensive mistake and they'd get a three.
beyond condition deal elbow exact timetable
We have to still deal with his elbow problem, then he's got to be in condition to play. I don't know what the exact timetable is going to be, but it will be beyond this week.
conversation happen resolve situation time until
I don't know; it's not really a conversation until it's a reality. We'll see. A lot can happen between now and when (Tinsley) comes back. It's a situation that we'll resolve when it comes time to resolve it.
high individual key last level screening spent time winning
For the last 10 days, we've spent a lot of time on fundamentals, individual work, screening and footwork. We know that doing the little things at a high level is going to be key for us winning some games.
