Larry Brown Maybe Quotations

When I was a kid, they had six hockey teams, they had eight to 10 basketball teams. The teams played each other once, twice a week. Maybe we should stack (the schedule) a little in terms of conference games.

Maybe when you play Miami, you need 36 fouls in the middle; I don't know,

Maybe we are giving effort. Maybe we aren't good enough.

He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out.

I think he just didn't want to shoot the ball. I thought he'd have 15, 20 assists. It was just one of those nights where maybe he didn't feel like he was on.

Maybe some of Jamal's decisions were a little misguided, but I know he's trying to win the game so I'm OK with that.

Maybe some of his decisions were a little misguided.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if I look at the young guys, wouldn't you think they were kind of organized and had a feel for what was going on?

Maybe if we'd have had some possessions that were a little better later, we wouldn't have had to play perfectly at the end. But I was thrilled with the way they competed, having young kids out on the floor late and making a comeback like that. It's just disappointing, but there were some positive things with our young kids.

We're what, about 1.6, 1.7 million now? I think we need to be around 2 million. Maybe in three or five years we'll be ready.

You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.

Even though they shot over 60 percent in the first half, we still cut the lead to seven. But once we cut the lead to seven, it's like I never saw a pass after that. They always make the extra pass, sometimes two or three of them. We have a lot of young guys who maybe don't fully understand the importance of the little things.

The way I look at it, maybe some of them can't do what I ask. I don't want to look at them and say they're not trying. Maybe they just can't and that's what we're trying to find out.

Once we cut the lead to seven, it's like I never saw a pass after that. We have a lot of young guys who maybe don't fully understand the importance of the little things.

As I told the team, maybe we'll walk the ball up the rest of the year and call a play every time, so the other team can't score 120 points and shoot 57%.

A lot of what you just said is going to determine who's going to play. The guys that are committed to hustle back, make the extra pass, take the good shot, are probably the ones who are going to be out there in the guts of the game, or maybe at the beginning of the game.

It's not something I enjoy, but it's not going to affect whether I can coach or not. It's not going to make me walk away from doing this. But I'm hopeful maybe we can resolve this so I can change my lifestyle a little bit. But there is nothing that I have that can keep me doing from what I want to do.
