automatic couple experience games guys nba watch
All you need to do is watch a couple NBA games to know that's an automatic timeout. We have guys with enough experience to know that. It's inexcusable.
advancing apparently continue toward trend
If they continue that trend that they apparently never foul, that will go a long way toward them advancing (in the playoffs).
geared guys hang team time
This is kind of a team that's been getting geared up for this time of year. Our guys have been able to hang with them, but this is going to be a different animal.
bothered free given open speed
His speed has bothered us. He's made his open shots. We've given him too many free throws.
paul
Paul pretty much had his way with us the whole night.
beginning force good kirk nice offense played ran tonight
Kirk was outstanding tonight pretty much from beginning to end. Defensively he was as good as he always is and he played with a nice tempo. He didn't really force anything, ran the offense well, penetrated and made a lot of good decision.
calls hang heads picked reverse tonight
I thought what we did particularly well tonight was that when calls did not go our way we did not go into one of our tremendously long droughts. We did not hang our heads and look defeated. We did the reverse and picked it up.
almost free question shot silly team
There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team.
beach guys money situations sort south time trust
We try to keep it reasonable. It's not necessarily that we don't trust our guys. We don't trust other people. We want to keep our guys out of situations where something (negative) can happen. I sort of look at it that, if you want to come to South Beach and have some fun, you have the money to do it in the summertime. Now is not the time for that.
running stopped
We . . . stopped running back on defense.
ask chance giving ourselves
We're giving ourselves a chance now, and that's all I can ask of these guys.
ben covering good run snow
We have a play that we run there where we to try to get Ben on a run around but it didn't develop. Snow (was) pretty much covering it real good there and we couldn't get off of him to get Ben free.
dealing difficult good job players showing talented
There are talented players over there, but from what I read, (McMillan) is still dealing with players showing up late. Those are things that are very difficult to deal with. I'm an outsider, but I think he has done a good job of it.
couple good last level minutes win
We need to play 40-plus minutes of really good basketball. The last couple games, we've got 30-plus, but that's not good enough at this level to win the game.
