behind drafted good opportunity players trapped
When he was drafted by Chicago, he was trapped behind some awfully good players and just never really got a chance. I think he appreciates the opportunity to get another chance.
commitment credit definitely players playing
You have to give the players a lot of credit because it's definitely different than the way we were playing before. It's at the other end of the spectrum, and it was going to take a commitment on their part, a lot of concentration.
allen available five fourth game players playing ray seven
I have to say that it was our fourth game in five nights. We had seven players available and Ray Allen was playing sick.
changed easier job players proud stuff
I really got after the players ... and they responded really, really well. I changed a lot of stuff right away and they made my job easier because they cooperated so much. From that standpoint, I was proud of them.
players
I really got after the players . . . and they responded really, really well.
certain difference players
Certain players we had before didn't want to be here. The difference with the players we have now is enormous. That equates to a lot of wins.
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.
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.
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.
