address anytime bad coach heard team
Anytime you have a coach address the team after a loss, you feel disappointed it had to get to this point. That bad part is we've heard this before.
great imagine night team
We weren't really making a lot of shots. They weren't really making a lot of shots. I can imagine how it was for the fans, but for us to be the team that was on top, it was a great night for us.
beat great imagine shots team
We weren't making shots and they weren't making shots, so I couldn't imagine how it was for a fan, ... For us to beat a team that was on top, it was a great win.
bad coach coaching effort heard leave loss team time
Any time a coach addresses a team after a loss like this, it's disappointing. We've got to leave the coaching to them and the effort is up to us. The bad part is, we've heard this before.
effort felt good guys home protect road team
I felt pretty good out there. It was a good effort by our guys and we will take the win. We really want to protect our home court. We're a pretty good team on the road and it is important for us to protect our court.
playing team
It's part of the whole process, I think. At this point, I can't see myself playing for any team but Chicago. But it's pretty much out of my hands.
best bet claim close definitely great playoffs ready role step store team teams
I think myself and this team are definitely in store for a great season. We're ready to step up and claim that role of being one of the best teams in the East. That's pretty close to a guarantee. I don't make guarantees, but if I wanted to bet, I'd bet we'd make the playoffs this year.
consistent easily mean team win
We've got to be able to play well the whole game. We can't go up 25 on a team and let them get back in. We've got to try to be consistent the whole game. I mean the win was great, but we could have very easily let it go the other way at the end of the game.
definitely help helps presence realize score space taking team trying
Yeah, I definitely sensed that. And that's why I was so adamant about getting back and trying to help the team as much as possible. I realize I don't have to score to help them, my presence alone, just me being so big and taking up space helps them out a lot.
definitely team
When he's not out there, I think the other team definitely relaxes a little bit.
earn foul heck high hopefully respect
In high school, they would foul the heck out of me and there was never a call. But you have to play through it and hopefully one day earn the respect of the refs.
bad ben early glad half hurt mild rhythm second
I just wasn't able to get into rhythm (because of early fouls). I had a lot on my mind. (The mild booing) wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be all boos. I'm just glad (fans) cheered when I got up (after being hurt in the second half in a collision with Ben Gordon). If they had booed then I probably would have started crying.
bit granted relief rocky scare stuff time trade
I'm ready, ... It was a little bit of a scare and a rocky summer, but the time to take stuff for granted is over. There's some relief but the journey's not over. I've got to live up to the trade and the expectations.
close deal fact happen hits tough
I'm just saddened by the fact that I know him and it hits close to home, ... It's tough to deal with because it can happen to anyone.
