changing good half practices
I thought under the circumstances of having only one and a half to two practices and changing systems, we were pretty good out there. Overall, I was really pleased.
fans good half needed robert second team
We needed Robert to have a good game. The team needed Robert to have a good game, the fans probably needed Robert to have a good game, so the second half was great.
certainly fighting fights-and-fighting half momentum played playing playoff spot
You have to give Philadelphia a lot of credit. They're playing without Iverson, they are fighting for a playoff spot and I thought they played hard. They certainly had the momentum most of the first half and most of the third.
bit came changed effect halftime
We changed a little bit at halftime and came from the perimeter and that probably had as big an effect as anything we did in the game.
change forcing halftime second
At halftime I kind of let them have it for the whole halftime. We didn't really change anything ... the second half was about forcing their will on the game.
half happy phenomenal
The first half was very exciting. I was happy for Ray. He's had a phenomenal years and a phenomenal first half.
break half saying season standing win
The first half of the season is not even over yet. I'm not standing here saying we're going to win a championship, I'm just saying I'm not going to give up. The All-Star break isn't even here yet. Y'all been around long enough to know anything can happen.
defensive finishing miss sets talked
I thought that we just couldn't keep them off the boards. We talked about finishing our defensive sets and we'd get them to miss and then they'd get the rebound.
boil concepts free improve line throw
I think (we can make a run). We have to improve the defense. The concepts are better but it's going to boil down to them. (Tonight) just can't happen. We can't let them go to the free throw line like that.
breakfast good happen impression length talked
I think there is a sense of relief. We talked at length at breakfast and I got the impression that it was going to happen and it was a good feeling. I have been working as if this thing was going to happen, but it's good to know it is done.
good
Just an all-around good win. One of our best.
credit deserves effort guy lots position ready supposed surprised
I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.
goal ourselves position positive team
Our goal right now as a team is to put ourselves in position to do something positive with the season.
game guys hard kicking neither playing team teams took win
Our guys wanted to win the game because of the butt kicking we took in Houston. It wasn't a 'get back.' Neither team is going to the playoffs. It's just two teams playing hard but not playing for anything.
