blow decisions hard holding lead learn matter somebody
We have to make better decisions on holding leads. We get a lead in another team's building, then give up the lead. It's hard to get it back, no matter who you're playing. We have to learn how to get a lead and blow somebody out. We haven't done that in a while.
carry chance great hit league mike team
Mike has always been a great player. He's getting a chance now to really show the league that he can carry a team and hit big shots.
advantage court grind helps home miami proved team tough
Miami is still a tough team without Shaq, and Wade proved that. We had to grind it out in the end to get the win. It's big for us because we know they will be there in the end. Having home court advantage really helps us out.
defense proper wish
We just didn't play the proper defense on him. I wish I was guarding him. I probably would have made it a little tougher.
bring came seemed seems
We just didn't have it tonight. It just seemed like we came out tired. It seems like we don't bring it like we should sometimes.
confident finish great point team until
We've got to get to the point when we get a big lead, we feel confident and finish them off. We're not going to be a great team until we can do that.
great guy ignorant wild
He's a big kid, and he is so misunderstood. He's not a wild guy at all. He's not a thug. He's not some ignorant guy. He's a great person.
cut game lead ran
We got back in the game and kind of ran out of gas. We didn't keep pushing. Once we cut the lead we kind of relaxed.
felt hands left shot
That was the shot we wanted. It felt good. When it left my hands I thought it was going in. Things just didn't go our way tonight.
best carries hat players
He's one of the best players in the NBA. You have to take your hat off to him the way he carries his team.
defender good great welcome
He's not as good of a defender as Ron, but he's an All-Star. I'll welcome any All-Star to our team. He's a great player.
coming court gain guys job playing relationship together trying worrying
He's not here. We're not worrying about where he's going ... We've got a job to do. I think we're worrying about these 12, 15 guys coming out and playing together trying to gain some kind of relationship on and off the court so we can get this thing done the right way.
beat chance continue dominant ear franchise games hard monstrous player
I continue to get in his ear and let him know that he's unstoppable. I get in his ear and let him know he's our franchise guy. As well as he plays, the better chance we have at winning. I continue to give him that confidence. When he has monstrous games like he had (Thursday), it's going to be hard to beat us. He is a dominant player and I want him to continue to play like that.
expect himself next sometime turn
I do not know where he is. I expect him to turn himself in sometime during the next 24 hours.
