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.
execute floor game guys hearts hit last offensive won
You've got to find guys in transition. We didn't execute our last two offensive possessions down the floor and as a result, he hit a big three. All of our guys competed their hearts out. We should have won the game in regulation.
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.
along both ends few floor great job last season
He's done a great job this season and he's done a great job over the last few weeks. He's come along on both ends of the floor and that's something that we've really needed.
athletic days few fit geared genuinely grow improve last moves small steve trying wish
The moves we have made during the last few days are geared to grow and improve our team. Trevor is a young, athletic small forward, who will fit in defensively with what we are trying to accomplish. I genuinely like Steve as a person and wish him nothing but the best.
aggressive beginning fatigue game half last mentally night ourselves played pull second succumbed team
I thought we mentally succumbed to fatigue in the beginning of the game because we played last night and that's what I told the team. We were the more aggressive team in the second half and got ourselves back in the game. We just didn't have enough to pull it off.
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.
move sure
I'm sure we'll be able to move forward.
floor hurting mental ourselves playing struggling teams toughness type
I think it's us struggling with our offense. I don't think it's so much what other teams are doing to us, I just think it's ourselves. Right now I don't see the mental toughness when we go out on the floor and play and like a team playing with that type of confidence, I think we're hurting ourselves more than other teams are hurting us.
balance basically fourth great move perfect ride stevie
I thought Stevie was great in the fourth quarter. We basically were just going to ride him, and he had, I thought, the perfect balance between when to look for his own move and when to penetrate and find other people.
guys played pleased
I thought our guys played outstanding. We got contributions from everyone out there tonight. I'm very pleased with the way we played.
active attacked boards defensive excellent offensive
He (Howard) was very focused. He attacked the basket. He was really active on the defensive end and on offensive boards and he did a excellent job.
attacking ball floor looking past putting separating
The thing that's separating him from years past is his attacking the basket. He's putting the ball on the floor and really looking to get to the basket.
contest drives guy jump wanna
Now when a guy drives baseline, that's how I wanna to see you jump and contest the shot.
