creates fact five games hurt jobs kids player struggled wondering
It is better than in the past, ... We all struggled sometimes, wondering what five games you're going to have a player miss. It could hurt you in some situations. I like the fact that you can keep 15 guys, because that creates more jobs and opportunities for young kids to get better.
bound games marathon missed
I think he's missed so many games and so many practices, he's bound to be way behind. This is a marathon and we've got to get him ready. If we've got to use the games like practices, we'll have to do that.
although areas games good improvement injury last news talked today
I talked to Channing today and we already started listing those areas of improvement for the summer. Although we are disappointed we won't have him for the last 18 games of the season, it was good news that the injury was not any worse.
far games gotten played
He's gotten better each game. Of all the games that he's played this year, this is by far the best.
games quality win
This wasn't one of their better games but it's a quality win for us on the road.
false games practice time winning
When you don't have practice time and you get away with winning some games, you get a false sense of who you are.
ahead behind change figure games good last leave lost number reasons
There's a number of reasons why we've lost games. That's behind us. There's nothing we can do to change that right now. We've got to look ahead and figure out how we can get better. That's the thing, and the last two games doesn't leave me with a good feeling.
acted break easy front games keeping last letting people pull six
We just acted like we wanted to get home. We have games like this. We've had a lot of them. You really break the film down and show the last game, just five, six minutes. You can pull out any film; they're all the same - letting (teams) take the easy basket, not getting back on defense, not keeping people in front of you.
blown chance far games good last needed three win
We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.
games losing
We're not losing games because of him. We're losing games because of me and our team.
amazing games puts
It's a pretty amazing memorial. It puts games in perspective, I think.
bounce confidence games hitting lost period rookies shot since
I think all our rookies are kind of going through a period now where they're kind of hitting a wall. I think their confidence is probably shot a little bit, since they've lost more games now than they've probably lost in their whole career. They'll bounce back.
chances few figure games generally guard last learn listen preaching share
The last few games you see how many assists we've had, it's been a lot better. If we share the ball, try to guard and try to play hard, you'll generally get something accomplished. I've been preaching that forever. If you want to listen and learn you'll get it. If you don't, chances are you won't figure it out.
caught games great heard hope hurt next played playing plays teammates wants win
I hope he wants what I want. I hope he wants to win games, make his teammates better. That's the only thing that really matters. I heard he wants to play like Allen. I heard he wants us to play like Phoenix. I don't get caught up in that. I thought he was playing great and if he plays like he played before he got hurt we'll win games next year.
