bit game shots struggling tonight win
We don't win the game tonight without him out there. He made all the big shots when we were struggling a little bit offensively.
eighth game road row season spot straight until
That's two in a row on the road after 16 straight losses. This season is not over until after game 82. That eighth spot is anybody's and is up for grabs now.
against ahead certainly coming game games people stopped talking
We haven't stopped talking about it and that's where we are. We have games coming up with people ahead of us, Chicago, Philadelphia, Indiana, and that's certainly not overlooking tomorrow's game against Atlanta.
best bitter definitely focused game loss player reason simply team worst
I think this was definitely our worst loss of the season. It's very bitter to me simply for one reason that we couldn't come into the game focused because the other team had their best player out.
best bitter bottom definitely focused game loss player season sloppy top worst
I think this was definitely our worst loss of the season and it's very bitter for me because their best player (Iverson) was out. I thought we were sloppy offensively the whole game and we weren't focused defensively. I thought from top to bottom it was from every individual, our worst game of the year.
along game half inability opportunity second turn win
We get the game where we have the opportunity to win it, then we turn it over. The turnovers in the second half I thought killed us - along with our inability to make shots.
against decided eight front game games last people season seven spots stopped talking
We haven't ever stopped talking about it. We still have games against the people in front of us. . . . I said it before the season, during the season and I said it recently, 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 season.
basketball call games trend whether
I don't know whether you can call it a trend or not. But it's two games now where we've been better with the basketball offensively.
control father games number playing worry
My father always told me just worry about the things you can control and don't worry about anything else. I can't control the number of games we play. As long as we keep playing the way we're playing, that's the most important thing to me.
ask both european fact game learning maybe players puerto raised says sound true
Maybe it says something about the fact that they were both raised in different countries. I think if you ask anybody, they'll tell you European players are more fundamentally sound than American players. And maybe the same is true for learning the game in Puerto Rico.
basically came defensive early game good guys offensive picked production second shots
I can't say enough good things about the bench. I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench.
decided game gave ourselves
We gave ourselves more than a chance, and I was disappointed that the game wasn't decided by the players, that it was decided by the officials.
answer difference game gave offensive rebounds tie tone
We had a tie game a gave up two consecutive offensive rebounds to Harrison. That set the tone for the end of the game. Harrison and Granger were the difference and we didn't have an answer for them.
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.
