ended putting second
But in the second half, they were putting them in and they ended it pretty quickly.
fly last morning sit until
The last thing we wanted was to sit out there until 3 in the morning and then fly in.
fact ready time
I know for a fact Shaq is going to be ready for this time of year.
best carries clean continues fair games looking pushed series slate sort start tape unless
I really don't think so. Each one of these games has the best referees. I don't think too much carries over, unless this sort of continues on and the series got pushed on. I know the referees are working very hard. They're looking at tape and things. They also want to be very fair and start each game with a clean slate and go from there.
became both couple ends guys quarter stopped third
In the third quarter we got up on those guys and made them penetrate. We were there to take the charge. When things stopped going our way for just a couple of minutes, that all stopped as well. We became very tentative on both ends of the floor.
gets good hook hurt knows limited luke minutes
If Luke gets to play, Luke's a good passer and he can make his hook shot. He knows how to play and he knows what we're doing. In limited minutes he's gotten, he hasn't hurt us or himself.
bad ball finding games great guys happy job nice weapon
I'm very happy about it. Our guys have done a great job of finding each other out there. We don't take many bad threes; most of them are off the ball movement. We've had games where we haven't made them as well, and we've still been able to win. But it's a nice weapon to have.
fond found honest
I'm very fond of Eddy. I always found him to be very honest and open. He was never a problem.
caught guys heard injuries worried
I'm not too worried about (Deng). I don't get caught in injuries. Injuries are injuries ? they happen. It's part of this (game). I can't be distracted, because I've got other guys to consider. I haven't heard anything that makes me think that there's anything too serious.
fought game guys happy moral played until
I'm happy we played hard, but that should be a given. Our guys fought right until the end, but at this level, there are no moral victories. It's a game we should have won.
again fault fought game guys happened happy learn moral played quarter third year
I'm happy that we played hard, but that should be a given. We need to learn from these experiences and make progress. We've had too many times this year when we've come out in the third quarter and haven't been as sharp. It happened again tonight. I can't fault anybody's effort. Our guys fought right to the end, but at this level, there are no moral victories. It's a game we should have won.
again amount broke excellent games gone good grief happy himself last obviously played sure three tortured
I'm happy for Tyson. I'm sure a good amount of grief he's gone through has been self-imposed. He's kind of tortured himself for some of the games he hasn't played well in. He's really broke out the last three games and he was obviously excellent again tonight.
games happy himself played tortured
I'm happy for Tyson. He's kind of tortured himself for some of the games he hasn't played well in.
calls close games happy starting wonder
I'm happy for our guys. You have to always wonder if they're going to get dejected because we've had so many close calls in games where we weren't able to make the big plays. We're starting to come around.
