good open
If he's open and in rhythm, and he's got a good look at the basket, he's got to take it.
coming needed relief road trip
I can say it was a relief to get this win. It was one that was sorely needed coming off the road trip that we just had.
core following group might perhaps players salary
I don't see significant changes. Perhaps the following year, when we're under the salary cap, it might be different. But I think our core group of players is here right now.
against basket bit few guys himself learning power tried
That's part of his learning curve, when he's going against guys like that inside. I thought there were a few where he could have tried to power himself to the basket a little bit more.
fewest minutes
That's the fewest minutes he's going to see all season.
basketball best half might year
It might have been our best half of basketball defensively all year long.
chicago game good home job last shame win
It's a real shame we couldn't win our last home game and keep our streaks going. Chicago showed why they are going to the playoffs. I feel I didn't do a good job coaching. It was a disappointing game.
decided eight game last seven spots
It's all going to be decided in Game 82. Those six, seven and eight spots are going to be decided on the last day of the year.
chicago continue eighth game season spot team until
I told the team the season is not over until after game 82. The eighth (playoff) spot to me is still anybody's and still up for grabs. Chicago doesn't think they are out of it, and we don't think we are out of it, either. We are just going to continue to play hard.
few hope row run stay strangest trend wins
It's been the strangest thing I've ever seen. Let's hope we can stay with that trend and run off a few wins in a row here.
expecting genuinely hope level obvious playing reason whatever works
It was just obvious for whatever reason that he wasn't playing at the level that he's used to or the level that I was expecting him to play. But I genuinely hope that it works out for him in New York.
bad coming felt five games gone grant great past productive situation step summer training
It's a setback for us, but I feel bad for Grant with everything he's gone through the past five years. He had a very productive summer and he felt great coming out of it, and he had a great training camp. For our team, it's just a situation where we have to step up. Collectively, we have to step up and make up for the loss. But the games still go on.
deep good history injury talented
It's one thing to be good and talented and deep. It's another to be good and talented and deep and injury free. If you look at the history of our league, that's paramount.
attention detail good guards job none paying pick roll screens setting using
None of our guards are doing a good job of setting and using screens on the pick and roll and overall, we're just not paying attention to detail and executing.
