burn four guys halftime kept open quarter reason shots soft third though three won
We just kept scratching. I told our guys at halftime that I thought our first half was as soft defensively as we'd been all year. And we started our third quarter out the same way. They got three or four open shots and I had to burn two timeouts but then I thought our bench, even though they were outscored in a big way, was the reason we won the game.
bottom four game games
We just have to win. Bottom line, every game is a must-win for us, when you look at the percentages, being down four games with 13 to play.
came great guys luggage minds
Turnovers killed us. Some guys came with great effort, and some guys had their minds and luggage on the plane.
extremely guys heard time
You heard their voices. Our young guys were extremely verbal. It's the first time we heard their voices.
backward guys hopefully step stuff taken team unless win
We're going to win the division, ... If we don't, we've taken a step backward unless our young guys have done something where you can see hope. But I'm going to tell you this, and hopefully it won't be often: That young team stuff is not going to be used as a crutch. OK, we're young. So what?
ball defense either felt game good gotten last nobody playing shot team tough
Even if we got it up court, we wouldn't have gotten a good shot off. It's a tough loss. The game felt like the last team who had the ball was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team.
benefit beyond chance consistent gets gives happens obvious playing situations
Beyond the obvious benefit of playing time, it gives us the chance to see where he's at. It will be interesting to see what happens when he gets the consistent minutes. I want to try and fit him into as many situations as possible.
both either mean moment rivalry throw york
At the moment, it doesn't mean as much because we're not as good, either team. But the moment we both become that good, then the rivalry will be right back where it was. These two cities, and you can throw New York in there, have something going with each other.
ball chris defense early game good hands somebody
The defense was good for the most part all night. I thought early on, Chris Paul, that was the game plan, just try to get the ball out of his hands and make somebody else make plays.
answer anyone beat next team white
You beat a team once, they're going to come after you the next night. We had no answer for anyone in a white jersey.
desperate loose obviously played playing team
We were playing a team that was obviously playing desperate and you could see that play in them. We're loose and we played aggressive.
broken spirit
We had our spirit broken and never got back into the game.
classy gets human team tony tough
Tony Dungy is as classy a human being as you will ever know. This is a tough one. I don't know how a team gets through that, to be honest.
against choice conscious gone good guys proud stay team tonight
Tonight was good because it was against a team that had to win. When we got down, we could have gone the other way. It was a conscious choice by our guys to stay in the game. I was really proud of them.
