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.
bring create run stretch stuff time trying
We're trying to run more stuff, and more importantly down the stretch you can see we were just trying to create stuff on the fly. Every time there was a break, I had to bring Wally over.
ball courtney good great love shoots sounds team
I love Courtney Lee. He's a very good player. I know that sounds very simple, but it's true. He does things well. He's a good defender, a great team defender, and he shoots the ball very well.
hopefully
You're always growing as a coach, and I am not done growing, and hopefully I'm not done winning.
history run
I don't think you should ever run from history. You should learn from it and embrace it.
best guys stay suck worrying
As a coach, you've got to do what's best for the team. If guys don't like it, they're going to leave. If they stay and don't like it, well, your team's going to suck anyway. Even if this happens, you still have to do it. You can't coach worrying about any individual.
entire freedom gets whether worrying
You've got to coach worrying about your entire team: whether that gets you a championship or whether that gets you fired. I think it allows you to coach free. You're coaching with freedom because you know you're doing what you think is right.
ask choose gets player standing
The thing a player has to ask himself: 'Do you want to choose winning over standing out?' Dwyane Wade made that choice, and I don't think he gets enough credit.
key stops
We got key stops and we made key baskets.
great last legs liked might night shots tonight
We got great shots and didn't make them, but that might have been because of last night (in Miami). Last night was up and down, and tonight was slow. I liked tonight's tempo, because we didn't have the legs to do it again.
ball energy second stood
The one thing that stood out immediately was the ball movement, and that's why I started him in the second half. I didn't know he had energy like that.
aggressor attacked game heels obviously points
Obviously to end the game the way we did with 10 points wasn't in the plans. They attacked and I thought they were the aggressor and I thought, when we were attacked, we went back on our heels a little bit.
game moving stopped team timid took win
I told them before the game that I thought the team that went and took it was going to win the game and I thought that was the difference. I thought we got very timid down the stretch, stopped moving the ball, which was very clear. And they made plays.
moral played teams victory win
I told them we played with them and that's great. But at the end of the day, we didn't win the game. And I told them the moral victory stuff, that's for teams who think they are losers.
