certainly develop dominates everybody fifth fourth guys league longer opportunity progress until
Sometimes big guys just take longer to progress. Not everybody comes in as Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away. Sometimes big guys don't develop until the third, fourth or fifth year. And you certainly don't develop in this league without an opportunity to play.
boards everywhere fourth incredible
We got an incredible contribution from Bo. He was just everywhere defensively and on the boards in that fourth quarter.
advantage fourth game good job last night quarter second shutting tough washington
They (Miami) had a tough game last night in Washington and we had to try and take advantage of that. We did a good job in the second half, particularly in the fourth quarter shutting down the paint.
careless fatigue fourth gave minnesota mistakes played
I thought we just gave in to fatigue at the end. We made a lot of careless mistakes in the fourth quarter. And Minnesota played well down the stretch.
biggest defense five fourth half problem second turned
I thought the biggest thing was our defense in the fourth quarter. The other big thing was we had only five turnovers in the second half. That was a big problem for us in the first half -- we turned it over too much.
balance basically fourth great move perfect ride stevie
I thought Stevie was great in the fourth quarter. We basically were just going to ride him, and he had, I thought, the perfect balance between when to look for his own move and when to penetrate and find other people.
ball behind feet four heck special
That ball was about four feet behind him and I think it was actually deflected a little bit. That was a very, very special play by a heck of an athlete.
caliber coaches detroit easy four guys means quite remaining seven starting voted
The Detroit thing is such an aberration. It's easy to say they have no starting All-Stars, but they have four All-Star caliber players. Those remaining seven guys that are voted in by the coaches -- I think that means more, quite honestly.
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.
