bulls chicago
We don't look at what the Chicago Bulls did. We just want to get home-court advantage.
bad care few hardly money popular system takes
It's secure, it's convenient, and it's popular with the public, ... We have very few problems. We get our money every week, we don't have bad checks, and we hardly have any overdrafts. This system takes care of itself.
season win
That's our only goal. If we don't win it all, then our season isn't a success.
ball best people played pressure sick time
That's the best Lindsey has looked. With his energy, his pressure on the ball, getting the ball to the right people at the right time, I thought he played great. It was the first time he's not been sick or hurt.
anybody beat chance concerned record teams thinking trying win
Not at all. We can only be concerned with ourselves. We are just trying to win every game. We aren't thinking about anybody else's record but our own. All you can do when you have a chance to play these teams is to beat them.
dig great missed night time
It was a great night. We missed a lot of opportunities to put them away. I think we missed a lot of wide-open shots. But at the end of the night when it was time to dig down we did.

It was a crazy game, but we didn't panic. We just stayed with it and things started to happen. We've won a lot of games this year. We know the main thing is to get the win.
It swelled up, but that's what we got Arnie for.

It's sore. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. But these are the playoffs. You've got to fight through it. I'm going to get through it.

Everyone is healthy and ready for the party. That's good.
averaged bigger everybody five guard guy points says
Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five.
couple days good happy hopefully next tomorrow
It's getting better. I'm happy that we had a couple of days before the next game. Hopefully I'll feel good by tomorrow night.
fun message scoring titles trying win
It's fun to win scoring titles and things like that, but it's more fun to win. That's the only message I'm trying to send.
allowed elevate fun game motion moving stay three
It's fun to play in this offense, ... I'm allowed to move. I don't just come off one screen. I can come off two or three screens. It allows me to keep moving and stay in motion and makes me elevate my game even more.
