good nice size
Luke's an interesting player. He's got size, good hands, a nice touch. We can use size right now.
anytime aspect ball goes guy miss scores size throw
Look, anytime you have a guy with that size that you can throw the ball to and he can get scores around the basket, you're going to miss that aspect of it. There are things that we don't miss, but that goes with every player.
phenomenal shoot
He was on. When he's on like that, he can shoot over people. His threes were dialed in. It was a phenomenal display.
fought game guys happy moral played until
I'm happy we played hard, but that should be a given. Our guys fought right until the end, but at this level, there are no moral victories. It's a game we should have won.
bizarre crazy happens maybe
I think that, if maybe something so bizarre ever happens one time, (the NBA) will take a look at (the seeding system). That's probably what it's going to take. Some crazy thing.
kirk team
I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.
burned experience free tried whenever
It's possible. I have the unfortunate experience of . . . whenever I have tried it, he has burned us. He has made (the free throws).
attacked jump looked panicked practice yesterday
I thought we looked panicked right from the jump ball. The way that we attacked them in Philadelphia, and in practice yesterday and then the shoot-around, we just went away from those things.
grateful great win
This is a win we are grateful to have. It was a great comeback.
facility guys workout
The guys all went over to the workout facility and got a workout in. Some guys shot, some guys got treatment, some lifted.
share
Nothing I can share here. I don't think anything was called for.
almost inch maybe next year
He's almost an inch taller. Maybe by next year he'll be a 7-footer.
plays
They were able to make big plays at the end and we weren't.
automatic call couple experience games guys nba watch
At that point, you call an automatic timeout. All you have to do is watch a couple of NBA games to know it's a timeout. We had guys out there with enough experience out there to know that. It's inexcusable.
