dwight everybody good hold offensive quarter second shot shots third tony
Dwight and Tony got every rebound. They didn't get second and third shots like they were getting in the first half. Because they had everybody going for the offensive rebounds, we were able to get out and run. That's what the third quarter was all about. Good defense, hold them to one shot and get out and run.
camp capable group guys hate hear love players playing season since start third together training week
I look at it that since we put this group of guys together in the third week of February, how are we playing and what are we capable of becoming? I know the players would hate to hear this, but I'd love to go to training camp with this group right now and start the season all over again.
energy played quarter sluggish stops third tired
I thought we played sluggish and tired all night. Our energy wasn't there. I can't give you the answer. In that third quarter we didn't get any stops at all.

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.

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.

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.
