dig good job missed percent shoot shots team
We missed shots and didn't do a good job defensively. When you let the other team shoot 75 percent in the first quarter, you're going to dig a hole. We have to do better in all areas.

We hung in, competed, and had chances. We created a lot of good looks for ourselves, but weren't able to make some of the easiest shots we had on the whole trip.
bad blame call drive ended good great guy hoped job open pocket position putting shot space switching
We hoped he was going to be open and have a pocket of space to get an open shot or drive the ball. Bosh did a great job of switching out defensively. I have to take the blame for that. That was a bad call putting a guy in a position that ended up not being a good position.
johnson played shots teammates
Johnson played great. We did a lot of different things on him defensively, but he was able to get shots or get teammates shots.
fourth hitting phenomenal quarter shot third
He (Redd) was phenomenal with his shot making, especially in the third and the fourth (quarters). Then all of them were hitting threes after a while. The third quarter did us in.
action believe shot
I believe the 3-point shot is going to be a part of our attack, ... We like to get 3s off penetration and inside-out action when we can.
bad balanced game involved jason jefferson missed normally richard scoring shots standpoint talk terms
Richard Jefferson is going to be more involved in Game 2. We know that Jason Kidd is going to be more involved from a scoring standpoint in terms of his aggressiveness. Carter, you can talk about his bad shooting, but he still had 31 points. He missed a lot of point-blank shots he normally makes. They're going to be more balanced in their attack.
gets good plays quality shots work
With him, it usually comes down to the kind of shots he's getting. We have to work to get him high-quality shots. When he gets good quality shots, he plays very efficiently.
coast coming effort good road shot solid west win
It was a good effort by our team. Very solid and our shot making was there. We feel like it was a really good win for us, especially coming off the West Coast road trip.
great grenade hand shots year
We dodged a hand grenade at the end of the game. That was a great look and I know he's been making those shots all year long. We feel very fortunate.
chance crossed happy hit jack last shot stepped switched
They switched everything and got crossed up. I was real happy Jack got a chance to hit the game-winning shot after he stepped up so courageously in the last game, but couldn't get it to go down.
fact five fourth guys key poorly schedule shot team top tough
They are a tough team to play at any time. But from a schedule standpoint, our fourth (game) in five nights, it's really tough. That on top of the fact that we shot poorly in the first half, and we're without some key guys made it tougher.
create definitely everybody featured gets harder knows shots teams tougher work
He's definitely a more featured player. It gets tougher now because everybody knows how important he is as our No. 1 scorer. We have to work harder to get him better shots and he's going to have to work harder to create opportunities for himself, too, because teams are keying on him.
both decisions great played second shots
In the second half, his disposition was different at both ends. He made great decisions, he played unselfishly and he made big shots when we had to have them. We couldn't have done it without him.
