hard played team
We didn't play as hard as they did. They made shots. They played harder, longer. They're just a better team than we are.
dug half intensity second
We didn't have the right intensity early. I thought we didn't have our legs, but in the second half we dug down deep.
confidence positive
We had positive energy. We've never wavered in confidence with each other or for each other.
bulls dribble game good job knew plan run stay team though type wings
Even though we were up 20 at halftime, we knew the Bulls would make a run at us. That is the type of team they are. They are a disciplined, well-coached team. Our game plan was to get up in the wings and stay with the dribble penetration, and we did a good job with that.
anywhere calling damage either heck hope hoping played player plays sidelines takes uniform
Either he's going to be in uniform doing some damage or he's going to be on the sidelines calling out our plays like he did when we played them in the preseason, ... I'm hoping that he's not anywhere to be seen. He's a heck of a player and I hope that he takes another day off.
competition defends defensive excellent kinds passes player seems shoot step stood taste
The thing that stood out to me is that Andray seems to have an excellent feel for the game, ... He passes well, he defends well, he can step out and shoot the ball. He competes on the glass. He doesn't back down on the defensive end. Those are the kinds of things you like to see from a young player getting his first taste of competition at this level.
added bigger character experience guys heart man
I've always said that it's about talent, toughness, experience and character in this league, ... We've added two other players, and Antonio Daniels, who give us all of those qualities. The heart is bigger than the man sometimes, and that's what we have. We have competitive players. Guys who are experienced, guys who are talented. We think that is going to take us to another level.
belt camp game goodness happen happens healthy stay team teams thank training
Thank goodness we had one game under our belt with everybody, ... Sometimes that kind of thing can happen in training camp and you never get everyone healthy. It's something that happens to pretty much every team in the league. The teams that stay healthy are able to have success.
against bit cleveland might records
We don't want to say 'We're in' and be satisfied. I think our records show we might be a little bit better against Cleveland than Miami, and I think that's where we want to end up.
center forward great guards physical player presence quarters question special three
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.
came games last league road stretch sympathy taken team three tough
There's no sympathy in this league ... not for a team that came in here limping a little bit. They have taken their lumps on the road the last three games now, and it's a been a tough stretch for them.
change players repetitive serious time true
The time when we made the change in the lineup was a true wake-up call. It said that we've done enough with the X's and the O's and the repetitive talking, this and that and film work. Now it is time to change the people. When players see that, they say this is serious business.
allen contain high level played playing second waited
We played very hard, especially in the second half. I thought we waited a little too long to play at a high level, energy-wise. Allen is playing at a high level we really couldn't contain him tonight.
good group
We have a good group of young guys, a good core,
