expecting genuinely hope level obvious playing reason whatever works
It was just obvious for whatever reason that he wasn't playing at the level that he's used to or the level that I was expecting him to play. But I genuinely hope that it works out for him in New York.
early family hawks obviously sad somebody
It's really sad for somebody that young and so early in his professional career. It's obviously devastating for his wife, his family and the Hawks organization.
certain clearly entertainment fans games home obviously people purely tells value voted voting
It tells you clearly the fans are voting purely on entertainment value and obviously the home turnout in certain cities. Yao Ming was voted an All-Star starter. How many games did he miss? But there's a lot of people voting in China.
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.
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.
defense doubt everybody excellent game home obviously phoenix pleased point team tough wins
Home wins are huge, no doubt about it. We got excellent contributions from everybody at some point in the game and I was obviously pleased with our defense at the end. Phoenix is a tough team to defend.
attacking basketball confidence extra keeping obviously organized pass playing pressure putting running season standpoint steadily success sure team teammate type willing
He's progressed steadily through the season from the standpoint of running the basketball team, keeping the team organized offensively, making sure that we don't get into a helter-skelter type of game, especially when we're in transition. Obviously he's playing with more confidence with the success he's having, attacking the basket and putting pressure on the defense. He's a very willing passer and always willing to make the extra pass when a teammate is open.
course everybody excellent good obviously point time win
This was obviously a real good win for us tonight. I thought we just really got excellent contributions from everybody at some point and time during the course of the game.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
early gotten guys job liked sure thinking
I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
holding looked pain saw sure
I'm sure it's discouraging for him. He looked to me that he was having some pain and I didn't want to take any chances. I saw him wincing out there and holding his midsection. It didn't make sense for him to continue. I know he's down.
engage sometime sure
I'm sure sometime (today), we'll engage in discussions about 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.
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.
