court home proud supposed teams win wins
That's what you're supposed to do, win games. I'm very proud of this team. They wanted 30 wins at home and they got it. Not many teams can say they had 30 wins on their home court this season.
supposed win
That's what you're supposed to do. Win games.
bobby cause defensive everybody havoc instant style
That's who Bobby is. That's his style of play. He's a high-energy guy. He can be instant offense. He can cause havoc on the defensive end. ... It's like a personality trait. Everybody doesn't have that. But he does.
amount ball continues good great job minutes tonight work
Chucky did a good job tonight because he had no turnovers in the 37 minutes he played. That is a great job for the amount of times he put the ball on the floor. As he continues to get more comfortable in our offense, we'll work more on his defense.
glad happy hard playing three
I'm happy we bounced back from three (straight) losses. You have to be glad about playing hard before the playoffs. This is what it's all about.
based evaluate leave swelling
They'll leave (the cast) on for about a week, take it off, look at it, and evaluate based on how much swelling there is.
break complete
This is a very complete team. When you statistically break them down into what they do well and what they don't do well, it's a very lopsided scale.
approach attention everyday expect job less pay supposed win
I pay attention everyday and try to see where we are. But my approach is that you go out and try to do your job everyday. You're supposed to win games. Anything less than that would be not what I expect of a professional in the NBA. You go out and try to win and where you end up is where you end up. You just have to go from there.
ball beat chicago entire facet incredibly last maybe played sharp shot struggle win
Chicago played an outstanding game. They were sharp and beat us in every aspect. Maybe last night's win got them back on a roll. They shot the ball incredibly well, they beat us in every facet - off the dribble, defensively and shooting. It was just a struggle for us the entire night.
excellent
Hopefully, he can come back and give us some excellent minutes.
badly felt help team
I feel badly that I didn't help our team enough down the stretch. I put Chucky in the corner, and he was set up to be trapped. It was my fault. I felt badly that I didn't help them out as well as I could.
badly best great people played
I feel badly for our fans, our owner, the people upstairs. Unfortunately, we didn't play our best basketball, and they played great basketball.
efforts finish floor game good group happy huge hung job proud shots
I'm proud of the efforts from our guys. They hung in there and the group that was on the floor to finish the game did a really good job for us. I'm really happy for Brian. He made huge shots for us.
came guys hard knew last played ready realize york
The guys were tuned in. We knew we had to be ready for them from the beginning. ... These guys don't forget. They realize New York came out and played us hard the last time.
