beginning believe guys hands obviously teams win
Obviously with each win our guys are beginning to believe more and more. We want teams to know if they come into our place they are going to have their hands full.
beginning came effort gave guys happy hard needed played win
This was a much needed win and I was very happy with the effort that the guys gave tonight. We just came out and played very hard from the beginning of the game.
beginning dug early game hole job mind ourselves second win
We didn't come out at the beginning of the game with the mind set that we were going to win this game. We did a better job in the second half, but we dug ourselves a hole early on.
against beginning detroit dribble game games guys honest offensive past similar top worried
This game had me a lot more worried than Dallas, Detroit or Miami, to be honest with you. Against those teams, you know your guys are going to play at the top of their game . . . in the beginning of the game, it was very similar to our past games (against the Hawks) -- too much dribble penetration and too many offensive rebounds.
aggressive beginning fatigue game half last mentally night ourselves played pull second succumbed team
I thought we mentally succumbed to fatigue in the beginning of the game because we played last night and that's what I told the team. We were the more aggressive team in the second half and got ourselves back in the game. We just didn't have enough to pull it off.
ball continue lost offensive turn
We lost all our offensive organization. We can't continue to turn the ball over like this. When they made a run, we let down defensively, and that was the difference.
explore improve trade whether
We have to explore it. Whether it's the D-League or doing something trade-wise, we have to explore everything to try to improve the team.
accomplish along basketball biggest chance continue everybody feels finish finishing good guys impetus key next nice note positive season team themselves work
I've said all along that the key thing is that we finish up this season on a positive note so that these guys feel good about themselves and feel good about what we can accomplish next year. That's the biggest impetus and with the way we're finishing up, I think everybody feels the same way, that this team has a chance to be a real nice basketball team if we continue to work at it.
basketball expect half kicked respect team win
It was an embarrassing performance. We didn't come out, we didn't play hard, we didn't give this team any respect and we got our butts kicked in the process. You can't play one half of basketball and expect to win a basketball game.
bit guys smaller
It was a little bit of a mismatch. We had smaller guys and we couldn't keep them off the glass.
anybody continued dwight effort gotten grow monster phase
Dwight was sensational. As I've said all year, he's continued to grow and grow and grow and has gotten better in every phase of the game. But to get 26 rebounds. That's a monster effort for anybody and you don't see that too often in today's game.
dwight everybody good hold offensive quarter second shot shots third tony
Dwight and Tony got every rebound. They didn't get second and third shots like they were getting in the first half. Because they had everybody going for the offensive rebounds, we were able to get out and run. That's what the third quarter was all about. Good defense, hold them to one shot and get out and run.
ball defense gets great knows plays practice reacting sees thinking types
Even after the first practice with us you could tell that he just has such a great feel for the game. It's those types of plays where he sees how the defense is reacting and he's thinking one play ahead. He knows what the play is going to be even before the ball gets to him. That's priceless.
height investors people pulling sure
There sure are a lot of people getting nosebleeds up at this height ... Investors may be pulling back from the table.
