Larry Brown Trouble Quotations

We can talk all we want, but if the team is shooting 65% and we're turning the ball over and we get in early foul trouble you can't make it a high-possession game. The second half, we didn't make it a high-possession game. We don't have the interior defense right now if we do get beat. We can't play like them.

I'm amazed at the restraint (Davis) had. I'd like to put Stu Jackson or (NBA commissioner) David Stern in that situation and see how they'd react. He'd have been in a lot more trouble if he went home that night and hadn't done anything.

He'd be in a lot more trouble when he got at home if he didn't do what he did.

We just had trouble stopping them from scoring. I don't even think we had a chance to put them away.

Antonio would be in a lot more trouble if he went home and hadn't done anything.

We lead the league in turnovers. Did you see them press on us? It's every game. We have few assists and a lot of turnovers. As much as we have trouble as we have guarding people, to give up 30 points on turnovers, it's even more difficult.

I think if you look at the M.O. of this team all year, we have had trouble making stops. We have turned the ball over, we lead the league in turnovers, points of turnovers, and assist-to-turnovers. I keep telling them if you want to play playoff basketball, you've got to take care of the ball and execute. We don't get it and we have to keep working on it.

We can't guard anybody. We don't do a good job of getting back. We have trouble keeping people in front and it's almost like people script plays against us.

I'd have trouble coming up with a starting team some games. Where are you going to get your offense?

When he gets into a little better shape and stays out of foul trouble, he'll stay in the game for longer stretches.
