Rick Carlisle Quotes
«These next six games he has to get himself conditioned back to the NBA game, ... I thought he played well. There's daily improvement in his physical redevelopment.»
«It's about learning the league, learning the guys he's playing against, what their tendencies are and what their strengths are because those are important things to defend well, ... We have a system of defense that's solid and he's in the process of learning that. For him, he's an experienced enough player and certainly has a high enough basketball IQ that he can pick it up quickly.»
«[In late August, Rick Carlisle was in an Atlanta studio auditioning for TNT by doing a mock game telecast with Kevin Harlan. He'd also been in touch with ESPN, and his transition from head coach to talking head seemed all but certain.] Something was going to be done in the next three or four days, ... But then I got the call from Larry [Bird] saying this situation was going to change.»
«It's a combination of a bruise and a sprain, ... I'm not certain of his status, but he's probably doubtful for Wednesday night (vs. Dallas).»
«We missed shots and didn't do a good job defensively. When you let the other team shoot 75 percent in the first quarter, you're going to dig a hole. We have to do better in all areas.»
«I thought Tinsley did well considering he hasn't played. I wanted to make sure we didn't put him out there for too long a period of time. He did some good things, but it's going to be tough in some areas because the conditioning isn't going to be the way you want it to be. It was good to see him back.»
«It just goes to show you even if you shoot well, the turnovers are going to get you. You would love to have a chance to see if you can continue to shoot a good percentage, but those balls you lose to turnovers are fast-break opportunities for the other team. The wins, you take them and run.»
«A.J. was real solid. I was worried about his minutes. I tried to give him a couple of breaks. Every time we took him out, we had to get him back in there. It was tough having to play him (40) minutes. It was an absolute necessity for us.»
«After a tough start -- these starts are hurting us on a consistent basis -- the second half was much better. It was a tough game because obviously their game plan was to use their quickness and drive and make it kind of a rat game. It was a good game plan. They had us on our heels.»
«We watched tape of them and we talked about their quickness and ability to get in the passing lanes. Until you get out there it's hard to fathom how effective they are. They are a pesky team and they're going to be one of those teams that will always be hard to play.»
