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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When he's not out there, I think the other team definitely relaxes a little bit.
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.
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.
It would have been nice to get this win for both him and for Herb. But for whatever reason we just didn't have it tonight - like a lot of other nights.
I understand the boos. It was one of the toughest things I had to do leaving here. I am also very excited about where I am now.
people can start looking at me as a basketball player and not a patient.
Every time I got the ball I tried to make something happen.
