games second start winning
We just want to go out and play the way that we did in the second quarter. We need to start winning these games on the road.
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.
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.
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.
along game goes morning night together turns win work
We have to let it seep out and get over it. And as the night goes along and it turns into a long morning we have to come back together and go to work and win a game on Sunday.
boards coming early game good graham guys hurting kicked lucky miss scrappy spark team
I tell you what, Toronto's got a scrappy, young team, ... They kicked our butts on the boards early in the game and they just keep coming at you. The young guys really give them a spark and I didn't think Graham was going to miss at first and then they just started hurting us on the boards. It's a good scrappy team and we were lucky to get out of it with the win.
continue games guys improve issue mark practice talk ways whether
The .500 mark may be a big issue when you guys talk about it to our guys. But we've got a ways to go. We are improving, and we have to keep it going. Whether we are 10 games over or 10 games under, it's still the same mind-set: go to work, go to practice and continue to improve in every area.
assigned collective defensive embracing games good job momentum riding role three today wave
Today there was a collective effort. We are riding the momentum that we started three games ago. Caron did a really good job defensively. He is really embracing the role that we assigned him as the defensive captain, and we are just riding a wave right now.
bad game last next
If we go into the next game and come out with a win, 5-5 isn't too bad over the last 10.
carried everybody game good guy hang help mix playoff rode tie tight veterans
We kind of rode his coattails, ... He carried us. We went from a tie game to up 11 because he got going. Now, they hang on to him and say, 'Thanks Gil.' We should play with poise; we've got veterans now with playoff experience. And that should help us in back-to-back games. We've got a good mix of scorers and defenders. And we've got a guy who can make everybody better. When that thing got real tight tonight, it was, 'Thanks Gil.'
edge game guys home road six trip
This road trip isn't over. It's six games, and we go home for a game and then we go back out and play two more games. So it's really a nine-game road trip. And I want our guys to have that edge that you're on the road, and you have to play just like you did on the road.
depleted game goes half heart injuries knew last miami run second team took win
We knew it wasn't going to be easy. They are a very competitive team and always have been. I think it took Miami a 16-0 run in the second half to win the game last night. They are so depleted with injuries and my heart goes out to Bernie.
ball fact game liked played possession road shared trip
We had a six-game road trip and we liked the fact that we competed in every game out there. We competed on every possession on this trip. We shared the ball and we played the right way.
games last momentum number percentage ultimate won
The number that I like better is the percentage of games that we have won out of our last 20 games (11-9). If we thought that .500 was our ultimate goal, then there is nothing more to achieve. We really want to keep the momentum going.
