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.
easily encouraged extremely guys mistakes
With all the mistakes we made, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I am extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could easily have quit.
basketball becoming collection guys hard rather rewarding stage step team
This was a big step for us. I think we're becoming a basketball team rather than a collection of individuals. To me it's very rewarding to see how, at this stage of the season, how hard these guys are playing.
beginning believe guys hands obviously teams win
Obviously with each win our guys are beginning to believe more and more. We want teams to know if they come into our place they are going to have their hands full.
care either guys help somebody
I tell the guys we've got to take care of our own business, and we're either going to get help from somebody else or not.
detroit draft guys needs pick skilled took
I think he just needs a chance. He's a very skilled player, but he hasn't had much of an opportunity. He was the No. 2 pick in the draft and Detroit took him for a reason. Sometimes we just pick guys who take a little longer.
came chicago credit gave guys honest played playing reflected sure
Sure they were disappointed, but I don't think it was reflected in our play. I thought the guys came out and gave us an honest effort. I don't think we played as well as we'd been playing but let's give Chicago some credit for that.
francis good guys job last looked steve watching year
Steve looked like, I think, the Steve Francis that you guys were used to watching last year and that we anticipate. He was aggressive, he was attacking, he did a good job defensively.
bench broke came coming game guys taylor won
I thought their guys coming off the bench won the game for them. Daniels and Taylor are the guys who came in and broke our back with 16 and 10 respectively.
guys played pleased
I thought our guys played outstanding. We got contributions from everyone out there tonight. I'm very pleased with the way we played.
guys heart played pleased
I thought our guys played outstanding. I'm very pleased with the way we played. In my heart this is the way I thought we would respond, but you just don't know.
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.
bunny coming guys keeps run
He just has one of those bodies, kind of like (Detroit's Richard) Hamilton, and the wiry-type guys can just run all night. He's like the Energizer bunny because he just keeps coming at you.
camp group guys hate hear love players playoffs rule season start training until
We're not going to rule out the playoffs until we're mathematically eliminated. I know the players would hate to hear this, but I'd love to go to training camp with this group of guys right now and start the season all over again.
