We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up.
Our continuity is still good. Of course, there was a little rust and we had a lot of anxiousness. But guys played with a lot of energy.
Maybe I got hurt for a reason - to bring these guys here and we all celebrate together over on Biscayne Bay one day,
Some games it's just guys have open shots and they take them, and when they miss it looks worse.
We played into their hands by helping so much and letting shooters like Jones and Bell and guys like that hit some awfully big shots.
We came out early, hard from the start, ... We didn't want to give a team any confidence in our building. I think it all starts with me. So I tried to come out tonight and attack. Hopefully my guys followed and it did.
You know, the guy is averaging 28 points a game. You have to wonder what some of them were looking at when they cast their vote. I'm sure that it gets political, but the good news is that he's on the team. This is where he belongs.
It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best.
No matter what, if it was going right or wrong, or guys were tired, we still got the job done. It's a beautiful thing to see guys come into their roles.
It's just about getting the ball around the area of the rim. Some guys hit some shots, we all do, that you just throw up and it goes in. But most of the time you're trying to get it around the area of the rim and give it a chance. You never know what can happen if you get it on the backboard.
You have a quick first step, guys can't put their hands on you. I know we like it. But on the opposite end, the same thing. When you are guarding a great player, you can't touch.
We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.
We got a couple of guys in foul trouble and Coach continued to rest us and let the reserves come in. They played good, but the Bulls really wanted it.
