again corner couple difference foul game stretch taken winning
Down the stretch we have a foul to give, we should have taken the foul in the corner (on Anthony). But that was not the difference between winning and losing. We had a couple of opportunities at the end of the game and again and at the end of overtime.
good guard point stretch super
Decision-making down the stretch is so huge. Marcus is going to be a super point guard in this league. You have to take his good with his bad.
couple games handful last man people played stretch three tried weeks wrestling
(Yao) is a big man and he's a handful for us. We tried three people on him and he is just a handful down here wrestling with him. He has really, really had a stretch of games the last couple of weeks where he has played well and been a force.
both closing ends except execution game guys played quality stretch win
I thought we had a quality, quality game tonight. Guys played to win down the stretch ? except execution and closing out games, on both ends of the floor.
effort good hit ray shots stretch tough until
I thought we had a good effort until about a two-minute stretch when Ray (Allen) just went crazy. He hit some tough shots and some tough threes.
coming floor guy miles plus pull shooting stretch
His three-point shooting is a big plus. He can stretch the floor and pull up in transition. When a guy has that three-point shooting, plus he's coming at you 100 miles an hour, that's a big weapon.
block clean counted fight glad guys met people pulled stretch tonight
I thought it was a clean block at the end. It was a big win, a lot of people counted us for dead. I was glad to see our guys fight back, they met the challenge. Tonight the guys pulled together, responded and executed down the stretch on the fly.
great key name sure value
I'm sure his name will come up. He has great value around the league. But I like him. He was the key to the trade, I think.
coach takes understand
I'm very encouraged. If you put a 15-year coach in this situation, they probably wouldn't be as patient, but I understand that ... it takes time.
continue positive speed work
I like our group. The positive energy, the speed and quickness. We've got to continue to work and get better.
cannot lightly
It's something you cannot take lightly at all. And I don't take it lightly.
eddie excellent great griffin job paint playing protecting
Eddie Griffin had a great game. He did an excellent job of protecting the paint and playing big.
fun losing run sports
Everybody's going to make a run and when they did, we didn't collapse. It's not fun losing the lead, but the important thing is that we didn't give in.
defense paint playing points
That is unforgivable. If you give 50 points in the paint to a team, you are not playing very much defense and that is the most disappointing thing of all.
