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.
ball defense gets great knows plays practice reacting sees thinking types
Even after the first practice with us you could tell that he just has such a great feel for the game. It's those types of plays where he sees how the defense is reacting and he's thinking one play ahead. He knows what the play is going to be even before the ball gets to him. That's priceless.
chasing combine credit game parts playing terms thinking
He's doing more than he's ever had to really do before, in terms of thinking about the game and playing all the parts of the game. And to combine that with chasing down every rebound, that's a credit to him that he's able to keep that pace.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
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.

Everyone is secured from everyone else. There's no danger of any animal taking advantage.
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.
game hope played players proved respect
I'm embarrassed by our performance. I hope our players are because they should be. The way we played proved we didn't respect the game or the team. We just went through the motions.
bit felt genuinely gives move problem season
I had no problem with Steve; I genuinely like the guy. We just felt for us to grow, for us to get better -- and it may not be today; it may be the end of the season -- this gives us a little bit more flexibility to move forward.
decision double guard inside night picking tried
It was like picking our poison. (Tuesday) night, Shaq had his way inside when we tried to guard him with one man. Tonight, we made the decision to double him, and they made their three's.
