bench coming couple great guys job
We got a couple of new guys coming off the bench. Our bench has been doing a great job for us, coming in and maintaining.
ball deep great job larry number places rick standing throwing unless wrinkles
Larry 'let' me be a part of the offense? ... That was deep right there. When I'm on the floor, I've got to be part of the offense. There's just no other way to have it. I think Larry did a great job of throwing little wrinkles out there. He called my number here and there and got me the ball in places where I can be effective. If I'm out on the floor, I'm going to be part of the offense. Unless it's Rick Carlisle, and I'm just standing around.
great job rip seems steps time tough
Rip and Chauncey have been doing a great job for us all season. Seems like every time we get in a tough situation, one of them steps up.
job
We'll see what we have tonight. We've got a job to do and we need to do it.
bench control giving great job keeping pick slow turning wheels
We got off to a slow start, but for the most part, we were able to pick it up and take control of the game. The bench did a great job of keeping the wheels turning and giving us a lot of energy.
allow break defense job offensive
They were aggressive. They wanted it more than we wanted it. We've got to a better job on penetration. On pick-and-rolls, when they play a lineup like that, we can't allow them to break down the defense and get offensive rebounds.
allowed focus good job side stayed strong
I don't think we did a good job executing. I think we stayed on the strong side a little too much and allowed them to focus in on what we were doing.
close energy hopefully opportunity team themselves wear
When you get the opportunity to close a team out, you just have to come out with a lot of energy early. You just have to go out there and withstand some of their energy, play through it, and hopefully they'll wear themselves down.
stops
We've got to get back to making stops when we need them.
add care season
We don't care about the numbers. We just want to add them up at the end of the season and come up with home-court advantage.
We got outworked all night. That's it. No other comments.
chance feet guys younger
You got a chance to see some of the younger guys get out there -- you know, have a little fun, get their feet wet, so to speak.
capable knew larry team
Before Larry got here, we knew what kind of team we had. With him gone, we still know we capable of getting it done.
came everybody focused game locker prepare ready reason room season themselves weeks
Everybody in this locker room that went through that Game 7 really started to prepare themselves and get ready for the season probably two weeks after that Game 7. That was the big reason we came back so focused and ready to play.
