careless fatigue fourth gave minnesota mistakes played
I thought we just gave in to fatigue at the end. We made a lot of careless mistakes in the fourth quarter. And Minnesota played well down the stretch.

He made all the big shots when we were struggling offensively. He was fantastic. We don't win without him.
execute execution expect faith flying gate harder offensive start work
I didn't like our offensive execution at all. I didn't expect us to come flying out of the gate to start the season, but I have faith in these guys. We've got to work harder and execute better at the offensive end.
guards second
Other than Carlos, our guards just got tentative in the second half.
animal animals came lost medical small storm tropical veteran water
Just like the Medical Center, we had water in the Zoo. We lost one small animal that was spooked by the weather. All of the other animals came through during Tropical Storm Allison. During Alicia, I am told by some of the veteran zookeepers, that we lost two birds.

He's had some opportunities. He's got to work hard to get low-post position. If we're going to play inside-out as a team, he has to play inside-out as an offensive player.
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.
chasing combine credit game parts playing terms thinking
He's doing more than he's ever had to really do before, in terms of thinking about the game and playing all the parts of the game. And to combine that with chasing down every rebound, that's a credit to him that he's able to keep that pace.

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.
extremely fifth playing team together unselfish veteran win year
This is the fifth year they've been a 50-plus win team. They're a veteran team that just understands how to win, and they're extremely unselfish and playing together very well.
control father games number playing worry
My father always told me just worry about the things you can control and don't worry about anything else. I can't control the number of games we play. As long as we keep playing the way we're playing, that's the most important thing to me.
great road win
It's a big win for us for sure. We haven't done that great on the road this year. This was a big win for us here.
basketball best half might year
It might have been our best half of basketball defensively all year long.
credit played toronto totally
There's not much to say. I thought Toronto played great, I thought we were totally out-played and out-coached and I give credit to the Raptors for an outstanding performance.
