I dont believe it wins championships. (It) gets you to the playoffs.
fast floor guy run
He can get you baskets. He can rebound. I don't know if we've got a guy who can run up and down the floor as fast as he can.
angry basketball bird compassion dealing help needs obviously start stop thinking
You're a little shocked. You're a little disappointed. I even got angry at first. But then you have to start thinking about the person. Bird obviously needs some help in dealing with this situation, so then you start having compassion for him as a person. You stop thinking about the basketball part of it.
cost last minutes seemed team three time
It seemed like every quarter, the last to or three minutes is what cost us. That team is a championship team. They seemed to buckle down at that time and get stops. And they get buckets on the other end.

It's disappointing. This still tells you how young the guys are.

It's big for us. It's too bad the All-Star break is now, I kinda wish we had a game to play tomorrow or Friday.
ball bring count david few good halftime handling heck lost mean west
It was a heck of a win. We lost those two guys, and you know how much they mean to us and how much we count on them to take the ball handling duties. We made some adjustments at halftime and had David West bring it up a few times, as well as Desmond Mason, who did a good job.

It was nice to just win a game.
good plate
It wasn't a good break. He's got to get a plate in there and everything.

The door is still open for us. Us getting into the playoffs is a matter of us taking care of business and getting a little help.

All we can do is control our destiny and try to win games. If they win then you've got to take your hat off to them. We can give ourselves an opportunity by winning games. That's all we can do.
burn open
You can't give them open looks. And if you do, they are going to burn you.
