against attacking certainly chance constantly defense explode gives guys hope night points pound tough toughest
He's one of those guys who any night can explode for 40 or 50 or -- you certainly hope not -- 60 points against you. He's so tough because he's constantly attacking and he never really gives your defense a chance to relax. And pound for pound he's probably the toughest guy in the league.
amazed certainly credit deserve enjoy guys move pick playing team
I don't know if I'm amazed by this team or not. But it's certainly a lot more fun. These guys deserve the credit because they enjoy playing with one another. If a guy makes a mistake, we pick each other (up) and move on because they're playing unselfishly and hard.
hard honest turned
I didn't think he was working that hard defensively in the first half, to be honest with you. At halftime, he really turned it around.
both certainly coming losing needed
Certainly this was a much needed win, especially with both of us coming off four-game losing streaks.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
early gotten guys job liked sure thinking
I'm sure the guys would have liked to have gotten more rest. But if you're thinking that way, you come out and get the job done early and we didn't get the job done early tonight.
holding looked pain saw sure
I'm sure it's discouraging for him. He looked to me that he was having some pain and I didn't want to take any chances. I saw him wincing out there and holding his midsection. It didn't make sense for him to continue. I know he's down.

I'm sure sometime (today), we'll engage in discussions about that,
chicago credit gave guys honest reflected sure
I'm sure our guys were disappointed about not being in the playoffs, but I don't think it reflected in our play. They gave an honest effort, but just didn't play as well as we've been playing. But let's give Chicago some credit because they made some big shots.
brought graduate harvard honest inner kids relate whether
He can communicate with all different people, whether you're a Harvard graduate or whether you were brought up in the inner city. He's honest and straightforward and can relate to kids. That's what kids want today, to be honest and straightforward.
develop given help opportunity physical player type
He's not a physical type of player right now. But we just feel, given the opportunity to play and show what he can do, we will try to develop him into the type of player we feel can help our team.
attacking ball basket finding people playing shooting
He's (Nelson) playing with a lot of confidence. He's playing really well, shooting the ball well, attacking the basket and finding other people on the floor.
best concerned guys mean pieces returning together trying worry
I don't mean to be insensitive, but you worry about the guys you have, not the guys you don't have. I'm concerned about the guys we have returning and the new additions and trying to put the pieces together so we make the best use of their abilities.
anchor chase expected factor growing night plays rebounds
He plays every night aggressively on the board. With all of the growing that he's going through and being expected to be a factor offensively and an anchor defensively, to still chase down all the rebounds he does is impressive.
