bothered defense hard paul toll took work
Their defense really bothered us. Paul had to work way too hard to get his offense. I thought it took a toll on him.
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.
absolutely knew paul realize
Paul was absolutely sensational tonight. I didn't realize they had 50 and 43. I knew they had a lot. I could sense that. I just didn't know it was that high. Pretty cool.
effort gave paul rather superhuman
Paul gave a superhuman effort for us to get back in this game. You'd rather have a balance, but I'd take 40 from Paul.
paul played playing shots sure
We have to make sure that Wally and Paul have shots at the end of the game. I'm disappointed in the loss. We played hard, but we're not playing smart.
beginning paul pierce quarter third took
The end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth, Paul Pierce took over the 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.
defensive presence starting
It's still close, ... I think Delonte does more on the defensive end, and you want a defensive presence starting a game.
bench biggest deep extended fantastic kept lead point second
The biggest point for us was when we went deep into the bench in the second quarter. We kept the lead and we actually extended the lead, and you see how young the bench is. Gerald was fantastic in the first half.
awful came game prepared
It was just an awful game for us. They came prepared and we didn't, and that's the coach's fault.
biggest dame games wisconsin
Notre Dame and Wisconsin were the two biggest games when I was in college,
keeping
It's not about who we play, but about keeping up the tradition, about maintaining the streak.
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.
against point purpose send serve
I'm pretty set on it. I don't know what purpose it would serve to send him down now. There has to be a point where he has to play against the pros. And we will use him while he's up here.
