Corbinisms which will pop brain cells

“We’ve got to cut down our stretches where we don’t play our best on both sides of the floor,’’ Corbin said after practice Thursday morning.

Good call Ty. And let me add, "if we score more points than the other team, our chances of winning increase."

Corbin was pleased with the determination his team played with in coming back from a 27-point deficit to within five with 90 seconds to play against the Rockets, but disappointed in their start when they fell behind by 10 in the first quarter.

“I don’t question whether these guys want to do it,’’ Corbin said. “Some of it is anxiety. We’ve got to play through this and be ready to come out and play a 48-minute game.’’

I can't find anything pleasing about the previous game. Houston got bored. I think falling behind by 27 completely negates whatever run we had after Houston had clearly checked out and began looking ahead for their next game.

And to not question whether we want to play hard and win? I do! I see 8 guys wanting new contracts with new teams. I don't see a team that desires the playoffs.

“We’ve got to be ready to play. These guys want to control the tempo of the game and when they get running — they run in this building more than they do on the road. They’re really dynamic,’’ Corbin said. "They’re not going to feel sorry for you.''

Thanks Ty. I thought San Antonio would feel sorry for us. Thanks for clearing that up.

“We got late in the shot clock and that’s one of the things when your offense is cautious, you slow yourself down instead of getting right to the play and then you’re going against the clock,’’ Corbin said. “Three of the first four possessions of the game we were in a red situation, which means there’s five seconds or less before we ready to take a shot. We’ve got to get the ball down there (to our big men).'

And watch Big Al waste the rest of the shot clock...

There was another gem in today's dead tree Trib but not online. To paraphrase, he basically said that the group that played the 4th and got them back into the game should be starting. But then he said that he is not going to do it, even though it is what should be done. Not guts, no courage of his convictions. That is not HC material.

Was it a coincidence that he made these comments yesterday? On World Down Syndrome Day of all days? I think not...
