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.
aggressive basketball control creating driving played steve time
Steve has played under control and yet at the same time has been aggressive at driving the basketball and creating opportunities. He's really played well lately.
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.
athletic days few fit geared genuinely grow improve last moves small steve trying wish
The moves we have made during the last few days are geared to grow and improve our team. Trevor is a young, athletic small forward, who will fit in defensively with what we are trying to accomplish. I genuinely like Steve as a person and wish him nothing but the best.
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.
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.
alongside player type
The one thing we did feel was that he was the right type of player to play alongside of Dwight.
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.
bad forward habit loss moving start step steps taking
This was a bad loss for us. We have to get out of this habit of taking two steps forward and one step back before we can start moving forward again.
boards everywhere fourth incredible
We got an incredible contribution from Bo. He was just everywhere defensively and on the boards in that fourth quarter.
