That's two in a row on the road after 16 straight losses. This season is not over until after game 82. That eighth spot is anybody's and is up for grabs now.

I told the team the season is not over until after game 82. The eighth (playoff) spot to me is still anybody's and still up for grabs. Chicago doesn't think they are out of it, and we don't think we are out of it, either. We are just going to continue to play hard.

basketball decide expect half spot team tonight whether
You can't play one half of basketball and expect to win. You can't spot a team a 20-point lead. I'm going to have to decide whether we want to play the same people. The team we put out there tonight didn't want to play. If they don't want to play, we have to put someone else out there that does.

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.
alongside player type
The one thing we did feel was that he was the right type of player to play alongside of Dwight.
