ball good minutes supposed taking until
Offensively, we were doing what we were supposed to be doing. We were taking good shots; the ball was moving, we had some resemblance of execution, and it went that way until 13 minutes to go.
both controlled dictated game irony mentally slower tempo unprepared
The irony of the game is that they controlled the tempo with a slower pace, and that dictated how the game was played. It's unfortunate that we were unprepared to play both mentally and physically.
great half job lead quite second struggled until
They did a great job controlling tempo. They made us play in the half court, and we struggled for quite a while until we got a lead in the second half.
good shooting weather
They aren't a particularly good shooting team, and I thought we would be able to weather the storm.
ball pitiful turned
We were pitiful (in the first half). We turned the ball over too many times, and we were inconsistent on defense.
ability again buying effort figured season tremendous work
What (Palmer) has figured out again is work ethic. He's had the tremendous ability all season long of buying into what we're doing, and his effort has always been good.
ball ballgame fact good turn win
We're the 1986 Celtics when we don't turn the ball over. The fact that we can turn it over that many times and still win a ballgame is a pretty good sign.
great hang simply
We didn't let them hang around. We simply put them away, and that was great to see.
balance both great guys qualities ready stepped
(Briggs) and (Papp) both do a great job. They are two guys you don't see a lot of who stepped right in, and that is where we get our balance and depth. Those guys were ready when they were called upon. Those are the qualities we need to see.
kept supposed
We just did what we were supposed to do, and we kept doing what we were supposed to do.
good happen job shot turn
Offensively, if we don't turn it over, we're going to score, and we did a good job of that in the first half. We can shoot, so when we get a shot at the basket, good things are usually going to happen for us.
execute matter pieces points weapons
Offensively, when we execute, we have enough pieces and weapons that we can put points on the board. It's just a matter of if we'll execute and if we are going to play defense. If we do, we'll be fine.
guys help keeps nice pleased
I was really pleased with the play we got off the bench. When we've got two guys in Ervin and Gabor that didn't play particularly well, it's nice to have two guys (Dunlap and Whitfield) help us out. It keeps us well-balanced.
guys matter multiple ourselves people point stop trusting turn
If we don't turn it over and just execute, I don't know how people are going to stop us. We have multiple guys who can score. It's just a matter of our getting to the point in trusting one another and trusting in ourselves that we can make a play when we need to.
