Larry Brown Figure Quotations

When the (season) is over, we've got two first-round picks, we've got expiring contracts, we've got assets. And we'll figure out, if we've got needs, how to fill them.

My hope is that we keep trying to get better, ... We have to figure out ways to get better. We've been in every game and we haven't figured out how to win.

I don't enjoy this feeling. I feel for those guys in the dressing room. We have to figure out a way to get one.

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 we have to figure out ways to stop people first. I always figure if you can guard people you don't have to score as much. I was hopeful we would value the ball a little better. My thing is, who is going to grind it out, defend and have a chance to guard people, and then we'll move on.

I won't play the rookies all the time, but they earned it. It's going to take some time. We're trying to figure out who can play and who can help us.

We have to figure out the best chance we have of winning the game. That's been the most difficult thing since I've got here. It can't be about the individual. It has to be about the team.

We have to figure out how we defend. It doesn't matter if you have five bad defenders, as a team you can accomplish a lot. That's where we have to get a whole lot better.

They've been all right. It's been hard to figure out who has to have the ball. It's certainly got to be more difficult for Steve because he hasn't been here, doesn't know a lot of the things that we're trying to do.

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.

I've got to figure out a way to get some passion.

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.

I'm gonna keep playing the kids, ... and then figure out the rest of it from there.

I love to see us run up and down the court, but I think somewhere along the line, we're going to have to figure it out. It's like playing Jack Nicklaus in golf in his prime. I'd rather play him one hole than 18. We've got to somehow say this gives us our best chance to win.

I'm trying to figure out who can play and who can help us, ... We've all got to do that. It's got to be infectious for everybody.
