game glass great needed ryan terror win work
Ryan has been great for us and he's just a terror on the backboard. Not only did we need his glass work but we needed his quickness. Without Ryan Gomes, we don't win this game tonight.
crafty ryan smart supposed surprises surprising though
Ryan Gomes still surprises me. Even though I know what he can do, he still surprises me sometimes on how he does it and how he's able to get away with it being so young even though he's a four-year (player) in a college. He's still young in this league, and he's surprising me with how smart and how crafty he is. I mean, he's supposed to be a rookie.
aggressive ball couple felt friday great guys hit job quick react reacting score tried
Ryan's been great. I still want him to be more aggressive on the post. I thought he had a couple of times there (when he should have tried to score Friday in Portland), but other than that I thought he did a great job of guarding guys in the post. He is quick to react to the ball. There were times I felt he was reacting to the ball before it hit the rim.
absolutely needs
They said he just needs to get out there and play. That made me feel he was absolutely healthy.
ballot hard night putting
They made it hard for us all night around the basket. I'm getting my All-Star ballot back and putting Jake on it. He was terrific.
except great maybe miami rare team teams three
They are the rare team that has three great players. Most teams have two - except Miami maybe has 2 1/2 with Shaq and Wade.
games judge three
Do you judge me on three years of overachievement or 10 games of underachievement?
bottom chase four game games gives line rest
The bottom line now is that every game is a must-win game the rest of the way. We're down four games to Philadelphia with 13 to play. It's not going to be easy, but it gives us something to chase after the rest of the season.
shot three
That three was the difference. For most of the game, we were able to take that shot away from him, but that shot killed us.
issues team
That team is talented. Right now they don't fit, and they've got other issues obviously.
hurt intensity lost stretch watch
That one stretch really hurt us. I thought we really lost our intensity and started to watch them play.
becoming break close decided far gary good hoped last letting playoffs rather sooner team understood
As far away as we are, we are still very close to becoming a good team. When we decided to break this team down last year, letting Antoine (Walker) and Gary (Payton) go, we understood what that would mean. We still hoped to make the playoffs and that's disappointing, but I think this team will be better sooner rather than later.
basketball easier evaluate following games guys handle playoff regular year
As a staff, you get to see how your guys handle playoff basketball, and I think it's easier to evaluate in playoff games what you need for the following year than it is in the 82-game regular season.
gave
This game, we had the win, and we gave it away.
