belong carter dangerous guys jason league three win
I think they belong under the dangerous category. I just look at the three guys ? Vince Carter Jason Kidd, and (Richard) Jefferson. There's no better combination in the league at 1, 2 and 3. When you have that in the league you can win big.
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.
gave hold instead lead passive played score three took trying
We gave away so many opportunities with the turnovers. They didn't score on them, but they took us out of scoring. I thought we played so passive in all three of the overtimes once we got the lead. We were trying to hold on to the lead instead of being aggressive.
except great maybe miami rare team teams three
They are the rare team that has three great players. Most teams have two - except Miami maybe has 2 1/2 with Shaq and Wade.
great lesson month past proved shake three together
It's a great lesson for us. We can play with this team. We've proved that. But they've been through so much in the past three years, they can't be shaken. We've been together for one month and things shake us.
best change changed coverage defensive eight four last normally san seven team three
San Antonio is the best defensive team in the last seven or eight years. They don't normally change things, but they changed their (defensive) coverage three or four times in that game. It didn't work, unfortunately.
games judge three
Do you judge me on three years of overachievement or 10 games of underachievement?
shot three
That three was the difference. For most of the game, we were able to take that shot away from him, but that shot killed us.
gets
When he gets it going like that, I don't know what you can do.
everybody great job pitch
With Wally going out, everybody had to just pitch in. Everyone did a great job of it.
close pierce reason
Pierce is one big reason for (winning close games) and Gomes has been on an unbelievable roll.
execution fights-and-fighting kept proud teach using
I was happy. I was proud of our young guys. They just kept fighting. I was using it to teach execution to young guys.
aggressor fell heels
It fell apart. They attacked. I thought they were the aggressor and I thought we went back on our heels a little bit.
becoming continuing focus people team win
I think Paul's team play enabled us to win on this trip. He's been great. I think people will focus on his scoring, but he's done so many other things. We are continuing to improve. We are becoming a team.
