struggling team
Well, the team he went to is struggling mightily, I would say.
almost bad bit feeling three
We'll take the win, but you end up almost feeling a little bit bad about it. They outplayed us for three quarters, handily,
fast missed poor
We were too fast on offense, our spacing was poor and we missed some shots.
both ends floor game good played plays
We have played better at the end of the games. We have tended to make some pretty good plays on both ends of the floor when the game is on the line.
ball floor main stay ways
We have to find other ways to use Tyson. The main thing is he has to find ways to stay on the floor by not fouling. We've got to get him the ball and ... let him do some different things.
couple good last level minutes win
We need to play 40-plus minutes of really good basketball. The last couple games, we've got 30-plus, but that's not good enough at this level to win the game.

The problem is our backs are against the wall every game right now. Somehow we have to convince the guys that.
anybody nba obvious order played win
We haven't played well of late. It's obvious for anybody to see. In order for us to win an NBA game, we have to play a lot better than we've been playing.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Even when it was close, it wasn't close.
beginning dominated
We pretty much got dominated from beginning to end. Defensively, we're not getting it done.
