bit expect maybe numbers playing season turned
I don't think he's turned it up at all. I think he's been playing that way for the longest, you know? Maybe his numbers are up a little bit but this is what he's been doing all season and you can expect the same thing (tonight).
bit early executing fourth games gotten great hitting lazy quarter season second shots slow terms tonight
Early in games we've gotten off to slow starts, but tonight we got off to a great start. In the second quarter we kind of got lazy a little bit and they capitalized on it. But the fourth quarter has been our quarter early in the season in terms of hitting our shots and executing our plays, and that's something that we did tonight.
ball good job offensive
The thing we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding the ball and not let them get second-chance opportunities on the offensive glass. We did a good job on that.
eddie guys heat jones knew last system year
The thing about the Heat was they were better chemistry-wise last year because Eddie Jones and other guys that were there knew the system and had been there awhile.
aspect focus good loose mental might people playoffs prepared season stay
The thing about it is, we?re loose all season long and then when the playoffs come, we?re even more loose. People might not think that?s a good thing, but it?s a good thing for us. We try to stay loose. We still know the focus part and what that mental aspect is, but we like to be loose and get prepared in the way that we have to.
felt great lose playing thinks win
Everyone thinks we're playing this great because we want to show we can play without Larry. We're playing like this because we know how it felt to lose the championship, and we want to win it again.
drive hope looks pick rhythm tonight tried
That was just pick your poison. What you want to do is just let him get his rhythm out 20, 22-feet out away from the basket, or make him drive and hope that we'll be there to help. I think tonight we just tried not to let him get any looks from the perimeter.
amaze anybody capable
It doesn't amaze me. It doesn't amaze anybody on our team, because we know what he's capable of doing.
We can always get what we think is necessary.
bad behind couple died last mentioned sure
I don't think it's going to be as bad as the last couple that we had at Indy. I know it's still going to be mentioned a lot, but it has died down a lot. We've put that behind us and I'm pretty sure the Pacers did as well.
talk
I am going to talk to him before the All-Star break, but right now, I don't think I am going.
aggressive bench bit energy five foul fourth games good knowing level line past quarter rip six time tried
The past five or six games we've been a little bit tired. Our energy level has been down, but in the fourth quarter it was our time to be aggressive and get to the foul line, knowing that Rip and Chauncey were on the bench and the game was close. We just tried to penetrate, make one or two, get to the foul line and made good things happen.
athletic guys hopefully mix problem quick
We like man-to-man. But with the long, athletic guys we have, and the quick athletic guys we have, hopefully it shouldn't be a problem for us to mix it up. But it'll be something new for us, and we'll see how it works.
execution time
Every time our execution failed, we responded with our defense.
