blocked changed factor knew quick shots
You knew he was long and would be a factor that way. But he has very quick reactions. He's a quick second-jumper. He has not only blocked a lot of shots but changed a lot of shots.
came chicago credit gave guys honest played playing reflected sure
Sure they were disappointed, but I don't think it was reflected in our play. I thought the guys came out and gave us an honest effort. I don't think we played as well as we'd been playing but let's give Chicago some credit for that.
francis good guys job last looked steve watching year
Steve looked like, I think, the Steve Francis that you guys were used to watching last year and that we anticipate. He was aggressive, he was attacking, he did a good job defensively.
aggressive basketball control creating driving played steve time
Steve has played under control and yet at the same time has been aggressive at driving the basketball and creating opportunities. He's really played well lately.
ball behind feet four heck special
That ball was about four feet behind him and I think it was actually deflected a little bit. That was a very, very special play by a heck of an athlete.
upset
That whole play upset me. When you're three-on-none and don't score, that's inexcusable.
corner deep ends huge instead knocking shoot shot
That was a huge play. He ends up dribbling to the deep corner and knocking down the shot. We had some opportunities to shoot threes at the end but instead we shot twos.
control difficult points team tempo
When you get down 20 points to a team like Houston, it is difficult because of the way they can control the tempo of the game.
everybody half page
We've just got to get everybody on the same page here. It's a disappointing first half to the All-Star break.
ball best collective key opportunity people trying
We'll just have to make that up with trying to get the ball to our key people that we think have the best opportunity to score. It has to be a collective effort.
chance couple defensive easy execute mistakes transition win
We weren't able to execute down the stretch. We had every chance to win the game, but we made a couple of defensive mistakes at the end in transition and they got a couple of easy baskets.
bit dominates everybody league
With big guys, sometimes it take a a little bit longer. Not everybody comes in a Shaquille O'Neal and dominates the league right away.
easily encouraged extremely guys mistakes
With all the mistakes we made, if you can be encouraged in a loss, I am extremely encouraged with how these guys are playing. They could easily have quit.
alongside player type
The one thing we did feel was that he was the right type of player to play alongside of Dwight.
