ball care moved moving taking year
We've never had stints this year where we've moved the ball and executed too. We have to do both. We are getting to that part of it now where we're taking care of the ball and moving it. It's been really nice.
absolutely defense half second
The defense in the second half was phenomenal. They switched. They talked. They communicated. That was absolutely incredible.
both defensive early fought game guys phenomenal played pressed shots theme though ton
The defensive (side) was phenomenal by both teams. It was a game played in mud. I just told the guys I thought they fought for the most part. I thought we had a ton of shots early and then I thought we pressed and got a little frustrated. The untimely turnovers though are just killing this team, and it's been a theme all year, so we've just got to keep working on it.
bunch games lost shots time winning
It was about time one of those went for us. We've lost a bunch of games on shots like that. Now, of late, we are winning them and things like that are going our way.
drive guy stared
He stared at me every freaking timeout. And I told our coaches, 'We've got to put this guy in or he's going to drive me nuts.' Honestly, that's why I put him in.
basically body couple engaged good half language mark season summer system talked
He's just been engaged. We've been engaged with him. Mark and I, we've had a couple of good conversations this summer one right before the season started. We basically talked about a lot of things. I told him on my half I will just try to communicate better, but on his half the body language and all the other things have to be better. And if we were in a grading system he'd be an A-plus.
deserved stretch ton win
I don't know if we actually deserved to win. But I did think we had just a ton of opportunities down the stretch to win that game.
favor given miami size speed trouble win
Chicago's speed and their pick-and-roll has given Miami trouble in the past. At the end of the day though, size will win out and that will favor Miami.
believe good throw
He's young. Don't throw him out there too early. It's going to take him some time, and he's going to be a good player. I believe that.
affect good worried
He's worried that it'll affect his knee. He said he didn't feel good at all out there.
ball everybody good great moved paul played
Wally and Paul played so well off each other. Well, everybody did a great job. The defense, at times, was really good with the rotations, and I just thought the ball moved great.
decide despite free game missed players tough won
I just want the players to decide the game. It's a tough one because this game was ours. Despite all the turnovers and the missed free throws, we still should have won this game.
figured shoot surprised thrilled
I'm thrilled with his play. Going from a 'two' to a 'one' is tough. I'm surprised he's figured out when to shoot and when not to this fast.
drive hands intentions office played playing ran ready reason saying shoes starting time
I had no intentions of playing him. I didn't think he wanted to play. But he ran into my office with his shoes in his hands saying he was ready to go. The only reason I played him was because he was starting at me every freaking time out. I told the coaches, we have to put him in, or he's going to drive me nuts.
