came pleased
I was pretty pleased with our effort. We came in and competed.
fought hurt maintain stay striking struggled within zone
We fought hard. Their zone hurt us early, and we struggled a little bit, but we were still able to maintain and stay within striking distance.
exhausted figure fought ourselves struggled trying
We fought back and exhausted ourselves trying to get back in the game. We've got to figure out how to play back-to-back (games). We've struggled with that all year.
games needed played win
We haven't had many games like that where we weren't in the game. Give them credit, they needed the win and they played like it.
credit fighting games
We haven't had games like this where we're not even in the game. Give Philadelphia credit because they're fighting for something (playoffs). That's where I want to be with this team.
happy
I'm happy for Boris. He didn't want to be here. He's in a place where he's happy and comfortable.
body fit games good nba next practice week
Lang has an NBA body. We'll get a good week of practice in next week with just two games and then we can see where he can fit in.
care defense offense rebound score
We've got to take care of the ball, rebound and defend. I think we'll be able to score some, so offense won't be a problem. That's why our defense has to be a given.
finish free line reputation team throw
We can't get a reputation for being a team that can't get to the free throw line and can't finish games.
believe guys locker played room team west
We played every West team pretty good. It's not like we can't compete, but those guys in the locker room had to believe they can win.
cutting games happens lead setting sharing
We got complacent. That's what happens in games like this. We did everything to get the lead right away by sharing the ball, cutting and setting screens. But when they stiffened up their defense, we just settled.
ball extremely game good job needed played rookie
He played extremely well. He didn't play like a rookie tonight. He made shots, he got the ball where it needed to go. He did a good job defensively. It was a well-rounded game for him.
extremely played
He played extremely well. He didn't play like a rookie.
basically bit brand coaching coming guys last staff team year
I feel a little bit better because everything isn't brand new. Last year the coaching staff and the team were all coming in here at basically the same time. This year we've got guys who know what we want and how we like to do things.
