changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
fans good half needed robert second team
We needed Robert to have a good game. The team needed Robert to have a good game, the fans probably needed Robert to have a good game, so the second half was great.
certainly fighting fights-and-fighting half momentum played playing playoff spot
You have to give Philadelphia a lot of credit. They're playing without Iverson, they are fighting for a playoff spot and I thought they played hard. They certainly had the momentum most of the first half and most of the third.
bit came changed effect halftime
We changed a little bit at halftime and came from the perimeter and that probably had as big an effect as anything we did in the game.
change forcing halftime second
At halftime I kind of let them have it for the whole halftime. We didn't really change anything ... the second half was about forcing their will on the game.
half happy phenomenal
The first half was very exciting. I was happy for Ray. He's had a phenomenal years and a phenomenal first half.
break half saying season standing win
The first half of the season is not even over yet. I'm not standing here saying we're going to win a championship, I'm just saying I'm not going to give up. The All-Star break isn't even here yet. Y'all been around long enough to know anything can happen.
bob fired gone group losing question since wears week
What this group has gone through since Jan. 4 (the day Bob Weiss was fired as coach), they need another week after the All-Star break. The losing wears on you. They need the break, there is no question about it.
group question since sure week
What this group has been through since Jan. 4, they need another week after the All-Star break. I'm sure they're tired. They need a break, there's no question about it.
board drawing fighting lose spot win
We're fighting for a spot in the kids' hearts. We win some and lose some. We'll regroup, go back to the drawing board and see what we can do.
certain depth
We have no depth to play him, so we're just going to try to give him different looks. He's just so big, there are only certain things you can do.
finish
When I feel like we need defense, then I'll go to Earl to finish games.
climate doubt entire good playoff run team
We're good enough to be a playoff team with those two, no doubt about it in my mind. We're a different team with them. We're fast. We run and get out on the break. ... The entire climate has changed.
good work
We decided, there at the end, to just use it to work on some things. So we got some good out of it.
