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.
chicago credit gave guys honest reflected sure
I'm sure our guys were disappointed about not being in the playoffs, but I don't think it reflected in our play. They gave an honest effort, but just didn't play as well as we've been playing. But let's give Chicago some credit because they made some big shots.
against beginning detroit dribble game games guys honest offensive past similar top worried
This game had me a lot more worried than Dallas, Detroit or Miami, to be honest with you. Against those teams, you know your guys are going to play at the top of their game . . . in the beginning of the game, it was very similar to our past games (against the Hawks) -- too much dribble penetration and too many offensive rebounds.

We're still fighting for that playoff spot and that just means those teams in front of us have to keep winning to stay ahead of us.
far games happen left matter number people playing refuse
With the number of games we have left to go, the one thing we refuse to let happen is we're not going to come out and go through the motions. It doesn't matter who's out there playing as far as I'm concerned. We're just going to play the people who play the hardest.
basketball bearing commitment games next training win year
What we did this year has no bearing on how many games we win next year. There has to be a commitment in the off-season to get better, and there has to be a commitment when we come back to training camp. If we make that commitment, then we'll be a better basketball team.
free higher hold line nine percent percentage shoot throws turn
We hold then to 40 percent from the floor, they shoot nine free throws but we turn it over 17 times. We need to shoot a higher percentage and get to the line more.

Other than Carlos, our guards just got tentative in the second half.

Pierce had a phenomenal game. But other than that, we did a real good job defensively.
