Both of these guys we're bringing in have NBA experience,
awesome ben knew today wallace
Ben Wallace is an awesome competitor. You knew he was going to come out today and play great.
half played quarter third
The third quarter did us in, because in the first half I thought we played very intelligently and very hard. In the third quarter, they got going and we just couldn't get stops.
bone pulled
The tendon pulled part of the bone off.
ability drew enhance players teams
The thing that drew us to him is . . . he has the ability to enhance the abilities of the players around him. His teams have a way of jelling.
along goes san success team teams toward unity
Team unity goes a long way toward success in this league. San Antonio and Detroit, those teams have been the most together, along with being very good. That's got to be a big part of our goal.
fair goes share team
Every team goes through their fair share of problems. We're just going to have to play through this.
channel counts david emotional energy goals head point regrets
Every point counts right now. I know David regrets what happened. We have to channel our emotional energy into emotional strength. That's got to be one our goals as we head down the stretch.
contact couple exertion full high level medical shut sort symptoms
At this point, he's going to make a full recovery. He's actually doing very well, but the high level of exertion and the contact has sort of re-introduced a couple of symptoms that the medical people, from a precautionary standpoint, feel he should shut it down for awhile.
game games played quick start three worst
At the start of the game he struggled. Of all the games that he's played in it was the worst start to a game that he's had. He got three quick fouls.
couple free full leave line stops
Down the stretch, the free-throw line was our nemesis. If we can get a couple of stops and make our free throws, it really shouldn't have come down to an overtime. But if you don't play a full 48 minutes, you leave too much to chance.
doubt good happen looks main
There's no doubt right now that (Jackson) is our main guy. He's going to make some things happen for us. He's going to get some good looks at the basket.
ability lucky maybe miss next replace week
There's no way to replace his energy, his athleticism and his playmaking ability at that position. We miss him defensively. We're lucky he doesn't have to have surgery, and if we're lucky, maybe we will be able to get him back next week sometime.
