beat bench game loose playoff point pulling stay win
We went to the bench from that point on, and it was just like pulling teeth. We got out-hustled, I thought. They beat us to loose balls. They had to win the game to stay in the playoff race, and they did what they had to do. So you have to give them credit.
certain floor game good guys help job jump push pushing ray ready
We went into the game with the idea that Ray would try to push him to a certain part of the floor and there would be help there. I thought Ray did a good job of pushing him there and then our big guys were ready to at least make him take a jump shot.
gratifying tour
(Berlin) was the most gratifying tour of the whole thing.
defined good hold ourselves plays stops team
Finally, we planted our feet, defined ourselves and got the stops we needed. It's always good when you can hold off a team when you've got to make plays and you've got to make stops. I think that was significant.
attitude care great met wants
As I told him when I met him, I thought he should have started in Memphis. The great thing about him is he really doesn't care if he starts, he just wants minutes. He's got a great attitude for this team.
chances felt focus focused game goal good hopeful improvement legitimate night point team took
There is a lot to be hopeful for and the focus is here. I wanted to keep the team focused on improvement and that was my goal when I took the job. I think it got to a point where I felt good every night about our chances to win. And that's what you want, to go into each game with a legitimate chance to win.
amount asked games guys season three trades
We've really had three seasons. We had the first 30 games with Bobby. Then they asked me to do this and we had X amount of games with the guys who really didn't want to be here and guys who did. Then we had the season after the trades were made.
good needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. We got a lot of good performances from a lot of people.
court defensive finished front good great kept needed team win
We sorely needed to win a game. That was a team win. I thought we really got a lot of good performances from a lot of people. We got stops, we're not a great defensive team but the team we had on the court at the end did what they needed to get the stops. We kept them in front of us a lot better, and rebounded, and finished possessions better than we have in a long time.
build bunch committed guys team until
Now we have a whole bunch of committed players, where before we had too many dissident guys who just didn't want to be here. So there was no way we were going to build a team until now.
caring darn five good since stuff team terms together trading
Since the trading deadline, this team has come together just like that. We've had five really good performances in terms of togetherness and effort, caring about one another and all of the stuff that's so darn important.
chance gets mike running team
Mike said if a running team ever gets the guy, he's going to be great. With those guys, he never had a chance to play. Mike was right.
beat face gets hit protect time
(Lewis) just gets beat up physically, he doesn't get any calls. He got hit on the arm. He got slapped in the face and no call. That really hurt. He gets beat up all the time and they just don't protect him at all.
allen point ray
One thing about Ray Allen , at some point he's going to make shots.
