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.
deadline experience great importance learned learning next nice reward trade wait year
If anything was learned this year it's the importance of all 82 games. It would have been a great learning experience and a nice reward for what they accomplished from the trade deadline on, but we're going to have to wait 'til next year.
along both ends few floor great job last season
He's done a great job this season and he's done a great job over the last few weeks. He's come along on both ends of the floor and that's something that we've really needed.
both effort field game goals great helps percentage reserves shooting starters talked team total
Before the game we talked about a total team effort -- getting something from both the starters and reserves -- and I thought we really got that tonight. We had 41 field goals and 24 assists, which is a great percentage and when you're shooting 58 percent, it helps a great deal.
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.
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.
great road win
It's a big win for us for sure. We haven't done that great on the road this year. This was a big win for us here.
bad coming felt five games gone grant great past productive situation step summer training
It's a setback for us, but I feel bad for Grant with everything he's gone through the past five years. He had a very productive summer and he felt great coming out of it, and he had a great training camp. For our team, it's just a situation where we have to step up. Collectively, we have to step up and make up for the loss. But the games still go on.
basketball excellent great guys night playing win
All the guys were really, really excited. That was a great win over an excellent basketball team. That we did it after playing the night before (against Toronto) made it even more impressive.
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.
control difficult points team tempo
When you get down 20 points to a team like Houston, it is difficult because of the way they can control the tempo of the game.
everybody half page
We've just got to get everybody on the same page here. It's a disappointing first half to the All-Star break.
people realize searching stop tragic
We wouldn't stop searching for them if we thought they were still alive. It's tragic but most people would realize that we do have to be realistic.
bit dominates everybody league
With big guys, sometimes it take a a little bit longer. Not everybody comes in a Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away.
