bench came eight fighting games good guys last loses message night row showing team
That's what I get for showing our guys a film of how good we were defensively last night (at Houston). We started out good, then we got soft. Our bench came in and was soft. A team that loses eight games in a row is going to come out fighting for their lives. That message was delivered, and we didn't respond.
brand came elton good guys hand hangover harder hot played pleased road rode second
I wasn't pleased with the way we started tonight. I don't know if it was a hangover from the road trip, but in the second half, the guys came out and played much harder and did a good job. We had a hot hand with Elton Brand and we just rode it.
against field front goal good job people percentage
We haven't double-teamed as much against a lot of teams. Therefore, what we do is try and keep people in front of us. And if we do a good job of it, the field goal percentage is down.
ball care good percent plays shoot total
You know he's going to shoot 50 percent and if he catches the ball in deep, he's going to take care of business. Plus, he's a good defender, as well. He plays the total game.
good maturity
It's our maturity. We know defensively that we're good and that we can make stops.
bunch came game good move played rebound season
We've said this a bunch this season ... but we really played the game well and came up a rebound or two short. If we can move on from this and build, then it's a good thing.
fight finish good knows since stick talent team
We're better than we've been since I've been here, but we're also more disappointed, because we have the talent to be over .500. You just have to stick with it and fight through it. Who knows how good this team can be or where we'll finish up?
care far good record team
They're a good team. I don't care what their record is. They're not too far away from being a very good team in the East.
fighting good knew parts playoff quarter team third tough
There were a lot of good parts to this game, but in the third quarter we let them back in it. They are a good team and are fighting for playoff positioning, so we knew it was going to be a tough game.
came coming effort gave good great guys hold percent playing
I thought our guys came out and gave a good effort defensively tonight. These guys were playing great coming in and to hold them to 36 percent (shooting) is a good thing.
continue explosive game good great outside shooting year
He's had a great year. His all-around game has improved. Offensively, he's got the low-post game. He's very explosive off the dribble. He's a good finisher. I think his outside shooting is getting better all the time. . . . He's so young, he'll continue to get better and better each year (in the playoffs) with experience.
bothering good knew literally tonight
I knew his back was bothering him a little bit, but tonight he didn't feel like it was good enough to go. It was literally right before the game.
closer extremely game good hard played score
The game was a lot closer than the score indicates. They played extremely hard and had a good showing.
hand hot rode
We had the hot hand in (Brand) and we just rode it.
