adversity handle hope learn year
I hope not. We've had adversity all year long. We just have to learn how to handle it.
attendance economics main second support
I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse, because I don't think you have enough people. That's my main concern.
crowd
I had no expectations, to be honest, one way or the other. I thought the crowd was good. It was loud, especially when we made our run.
defensive front good guys job lack mentality
It was just a lack of defensive mentality tonight. We didn't do a good job keep guys in front of us.
ford home loud
It was great. It was a lot like home at the Ford Center. When we had our little lulls, they were loud and got us back into it.
coach deal next stuff type wants
It was just too many things going on player-wise that I didn't like that I wasn't going to be able to deal with the next year. So I wasn't going to put myself in the situation. No coach wants to go through that type of stuff when you have mutiny.

became best chance chris compete dan drafted earned elsewhere gives guard last losing luck obvious order point prevents sign starting trade wish
After we drafted Chris Paul, it became obvious that Dan would look to sign elsewhere in order to have a chance to compete for a starting point guard job, ... Making this trade gives Dan that chance, which he earned by what he did for us last season, and it also prevents us from losing him without compensation. We wish him the best of luck in Boston.
achievement bigger experience gotten guys key last looking nice season terrible wins
It's not an achievement, it's what we expected. We've gotten to .500; now the key is to keep going. There are a lot of young guys that didn't experience the terrible season we had last year; the 19 wins is a nice accomplishment, but were looking to do bigger things this season.
basically matter proven
It's not a matter of can we do it. We've proven we can. It's a matter of will we do it. A lot of that is basically heart.
charles crazy funny humor might trying
If you know Charles, you know how crazy he is. That's Charles trying to be funny and have humor on the air. I don't think he did it maliciously. If he comes to a game, he might not want to leave.
effort energy high intensity kept night
If you look at our energy and our effort in the Clipper game, and then you look at tonight, it's night and day. It's not the same. The Clipper game, we pretty much kept the same high intensity level.
confidence fourth resilience
In the fourth quarter, we really showed our resilience and our confidence in one another.
cost everybody hopefully learn love slight took
He still has a love for the game. He just took a slight detour, and it cost him. Everybody makes mistakes, and he'll hopefully learn from this and be able to get back.
