asking bit emphasis hard system
Our system is a little different than what some of (the new players) are used to, and what we're asking them to have an emphasis on is a little bit different than what they're used to. But they're working hard at it.
april competing counts games harder road teams
It's going to be a harder road for 82 games - a lot more teams competing for it. And you're going to have to be a lot better when it counts in April and May to get to where we want to go.
call difficult hard talked
It's very hard to call a flop, ... We talked about it with Bennett. You can't say a guy's flopping, so go penalize it. It's very difficult to make that determination.
analogy angst expectation good hard individual lead olympics roll team
The hard part is, from the outside, the expectation is that it is going to be very easy, you're just going to roll out there with your talent, ... That can lead to a lot of angst when things don't go well. There's a lot more to being a team than talent. I used the analogy of the Olympics with them. We have a lot of good individual players, but that is not going to be enough.
build finished fought game hard model
It was a really hard fought game. We finished the game very well. That has to be the model for how to finish the game...Hopefully, we can build on this game.
hard judge
It's hard to judge anything on one night. But it wasn't a positive.
face pardon saw sticks
I saw your face on the sticks on Pardon the Interruption . That's big.
decide defense guy offensive talking
When you're talking about roles, there could be offensive roles, ... but a guy can't decide that defense is not part of his role.
breaks fast five four general guys next running three wide
We had four or five three-on-two fast breaks where all three guys were running next to each other. We were in general not wide enough.
bit expectation figured low measure question team
The expectation question is a little bit overdone. I think I've got it figured out. If the expectations for your team are high, and you don't measure up, you get fired. If the expectations are low and you lose, you get fired.
gone
To be doing all of this with what he's gone through physically, I'll never get over it. It's phenomenal.
believe next
We believe we're going to be in the next series, too.
certainly
We'll see if we can make some adjustments, but we're certainly not going to panic.
easier expect game guys higher
I expect those two guys to play at even a higher level, because I think we've got some guys that can also make the game a little easier for them.
