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.
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.
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.
ball confidence continues defender dwight finesse foul liked matched maybe rather took trying
The thing I liked most was that when Dwight was matched up with Duncan, he took the ball right at him. That's what we've been trying to get him to do all season. We want him to take it right at the defender rather than the finesse stuff. Maybe as he continues to get confidence from the foul line, he'll do that.
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.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
early gotten guys job liked sure thinking
I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
holding looked pain saw sure
I'm sure it's discouraging for him. He looked to me that he was having some pain and I didn't want to take any chances. I saw him wincing out there and holding his midsection. It didn't make sense for him to continue. I know he's down.
engage sometime sure
I'm sure sometime (today), we'll engage in discussions about that,
chicago credit gave guys honest reflected sure
I'm sure our guys were disappointed about not being in the playoffs, but I don't think it reflected in our play. They gave an honest effort, but just didn't play as well as we've been playing. But let's give Chicago some credit because they made some big shots.
great handled matter meals miss move resolved sitting steve sure
I like Steve as a person, I like him a great deal. I miss sitting down having meals and discussions with him, but it was a matter that had to be handled the way it was handled. I'm sure we can get it resolved as we move down the road.
animal danger secured taking
Everyone is secured from everyone else. There's no danger of any animal taking advantage.
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.
early family hawks obviously sad somebody
It's really sad for somebody that young and so early in his professional career. It's obviously devastating for his wife, his family and the Hawks organization.
