balance bobby coming good jackson
They have a good balance with (Miller) and Bobby Jackson coming off the bench.
critical decisions deficits four games good last took
It all boiled to down to decisions. I think at critical junctures we made some pretty good decisions. In our last four games we had deficits and then we took the lead, but we haven't made good decisions when we've had the ball.
basketball game good last late
The last two games, the one in Detroit, late in that game and this game is really the most competitive that we've been with a very, very good basketball team.
basketball detroit good guys lay lose proud
It's not an embarrassment to lose to Detroit that way. They are a very good basketball team. But I told my guys that I would go in a foxhole with them any day. They never lay down, and I'm very proud of them.
good
I can't divulge that. My credibility's on the line. There's a good possibility they made the right decision.
ludicrous raymond
That was ludicrous that he wasn't in that game. If you see Raymond play, there's no way he shouldn't have been on that team.
contested guys shots tough
They contested our shots, that's what they do. Some of their shots we contested and they made them. Those guys made some tough shots.
guess mentally
He's going to the battleship? Well, I guess he's getting mentally ready, huh?
alarm clock hung intensity match second shots stop until
The alarm clock didn't go off until the second half. We didn't match their intensity on defense. We got hung up in fool's gold. Some shots were going in but we didn't stop anybody.
credit dangerous jersey needs playing team
I think all the credit needs to go to New Jersey tonight. They're playing well, that's 14 in a row. They're a team that if they play like this, they're going to be very dangerous in the playoffs.
seen
This is getting ridiculous. I've never seen anything like this.
work
He had to really work for it tonight. He didn't get anything in bundles.
seem somebody somewhere stop
If you stop one player, they go somewhere else. They seem to always know where to go, and somebody always delivers.
message nice start
The message is, we had a nice run, now let's start it again.
