basketball best half might year
It might have been our best half of basketball defensively all year long.
economic involved tie
They're all involved in economic development, ... just having that tie fits.
against basket bit few guys himself learning power tried
That's part of his learning curve, when he's going against guys like that inside. I thought there were a few where he could have tried to power himself to the basket a little bit more.
fewest minutes
That's the fewest minutes he's going to see all season.
animal danger secured taking
Everyone is secured from everyone else. There's no danger of any animal taking advantage.
ball care deserved efforts good movement needed offensive played shots standpoint taking
They deserved to win. They played hard, they made big shots when they needed them and it probably wasn't one of our better offensive efforts from the standpoint of getting real good ball movement and taking care of the basketball.
expecting genuinely hope level obvious playing reason whatever works
It was just obvious for whatever reason that he wasn't playing at the level that he's used to or the level that I was expecting him to play. But I genuinely hope that it works out for him in New York.
bad coming felt five games gone grant great past productive situation step summer training
It's a setback for us, but I feel bad for Grant with everything he's gone through the past five years. He had a very productive summer and he felt great coming out of it, and he had a great training camp. For our team, it's just a situation where we have to step up. Collectively, we have to step up and make up for the loss. But the games still go on.
came certainly changed id phenomenal relief second tempo
It was certainly a relief to get this win. It was one that we sorely needed. I really can't say enough about our second unit. I thought they just came in and id a phenomenal job. They changed the whole tempo of the game.
chicago game good home job last shame win
It's a real shame we couldn't win our last home game and keep our streaks going. Chicago showed why they are going to the playoffs. I feel I didn't do a good job coaching. It was a disappointing game.
decided eight game last seven spots
It's all going to be decided in Game 82. Those six, seven and eight spots are going to be decided on the last day of the year.
chicago continue eighth game season spot team until
I told the team the season is not over until after game 82. The eighth (playoff) spot to me is still anybody's and still up for grabs. Chicago doesn't think they are out of it, and we don't think we are out of it, either. We are just going to continue to play hard.
defense forget incredible physical shots
Forget about 81 points. To be able to get up that many shots and still play defense at the other end of the floor, that's a pretty incredible physical accomplishment.
month played record remaining teams
A lot of teams with our record a month ago would have packed it in and just played their way through the remaining games.
