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.
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.
basketball bit defense force goes good light maybe realize share situations together
Sometimes the light goes on a little bit later. Maybe this is one of those situations where we just realize if we play together and share the basketball and play good defense and force some turnovers and get out and run, we can be pretty good.
credit defense good heck offensive percent shoot shoots shots team tough
We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.
ball expect good guard job knows people point supposed understanding
Carlos, having been a point guard his whole life, just has an understanding of where the ball should go. He's going to get the ball to the right people and knows when he's supposed to keep it himself. I don't expect him to go 7-of-11 every night, but he did a very good job tonight.
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.
good half needed obviously played second win wrong
Obviously this was a much needed win. It was a good win that was kind of like Murphy's Law. Everything that could go wrong in the first half did go wrong. But we played very well in the second half and we clamped down on defense.
deep good history injury talented
It's one thing to be good and talented and deep. It's another to be good and talented and deep and injury free. If you look at the history of our league, that's paramount.
attention detail good guards job none paying pick roll screens setting using
None of our guards are doing a good job of setting and using screens on the pick and roll and overall, we're just not paying attention to detail and executing.
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.
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.
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.
competing easily encouraged extremely good guys hard played playing putting team
This is one of the hard things when you are putting guys out there in different spots. Even with all of those mistakes, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I'm extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could have easily quit. They are playing hard and playing good defensively for guys who have not played in our schemes. I like the way this team is competing right now.
good played proud second win
I thought that was a really good win for us tonight. I was really proud of our guys, the way we played in the second half.
