games left obviously
They obviously still have the advantage. They have two games left in their building.
best game last next night overtime played sitting waiting week
They had an overtime game last night and we sitting here waiting for them. We played pretty well, but we didn't get Philly's best shot. We will see that next week when we play them again.
last saw team
They're a different team than when we saw them last time.
although given guess level near
They're on a level we're not even near yet, although we can play with them on a given night. What are they, 49-11? I guess 'aspire' would be the right word.
feet last line move position proper three tonight trouble
There was a lot of out-of-position fouling. If we don't let them go to the line that much, we probably get the win. We had a lot of trouble (defensively). The last three games, we haven't, but tonight we did it again. We didn't move our feet and play proper position defense.
athletic banks create davis great problems push speeds tempo wing
Banks speeds up the tempo a little bit. He can really push it and create a lot of problems. Davis is a great scorer and a great athletic wing player.
defense earn foul good percentage playing staying taking
As long as they're good shots. You have to earn the right to take that many shots, and you do that by taking good shots, making a good percentage of them, by playing good defense and staying out of foul trouble.
afternoon bit meeting morning odd ready time
That's what's a little bit odd about this, that it's back-to-back afternoon games. I don't know what time we'll get in, but we'll get up in the morning and have a breakfast-type meeting and get ready to go again.
bit game
That game had a little bit of everything. It was a hard-fought win.
believe bit guys knowing shocking
A little bit over 4 percent. But knowing the guys like I know 'em, it would be shocking to me if they didn't believe in themselves.
ball great low somebody throw
You still have to throw the ball into the low post, even if you feel like somebody may not be great down there,
advantage chance full game past pick point start
You start getting past the mid-point or getting to the 30-game point and you have a chance to pick up a full game on a team, you'd like to take advantage of that.
ben both contribute effect game mold wallace
They do a lot of the same things. They're both from the Ben Wallace mold where you can have an effect on a game without having to contribute a lot offensively.
based best earned glad however
They earned the right to play however they wanted to play, based on what's best for their franchise. We had to do what was best for us. We're glad we're in.
