best effect game gives guys played players plays pop seems since strength toughest
Every game he plays in, he's ... one of the toughest guys on the floor. He's got size, strength, athleticism, and he can play. He gives them one of the best players in the game, and you can see that they've played with a little more pop since he's been with them. He seems to have an effect on their group, the way they get after it a little bit.
best game great maybe tyson
I thought it was a great effort. Tyson was a big lift. I thought maybe that he had his best game of the year.
best chance game great proactive rebounds second tyson
I thought it was a great effort. Tyson (Chandler) was a big lift. I thought he had his best game of the year. Our game was proactive and most importantly, we got a lot of rebounds and second chance opportunities.
best imagine miami percent ready team wins
We know the odds. Ninety-five percent of the time, the team that is up 2-0 wins the series. I imagine we're going to see the best Miami has on Sunday, and we'd better be ready for it.
best guys help win
I told the guys after the game, 'I'm going to find the lineups, as best I can, that'll help us win the game.

I told the guys a couple of days ago that whoever I thought played the best the next two days is going to start, so that's what we did.

It was one of our best all-around efforts of the season. The guys were really in tune with the game plan. Ben made some big shots, but it was Andres who made the difference in the game.
best collapse help league players team top win
It's a 50-plus win team with two of the top 10 players in the league (O'Neal, Dwayne Wade). With Shaq, we'll try to collapse on him when he catches it and then make him play inside-out. With Dwayne, we'll just do our best to get help and make him play in a crowd.
best early facing sort weather
We know what we're facing now. We're going down there, and it's going to be some sort of onslaught early in the game. We'll do our best to try and weather it.

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.

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.
best coaches league negative perceived perception span
I went from being perceived as one of the best young coaches in the league to this negative perception in a span of about 30 games, ... It?s really bizarre.
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.
