acted beat believed looked miami scoreboard
I thought we looked at the scoreboard and acted like we may be able to beat the Miami Heat. But I don't know if we, at the end, believed we could beat them.
beat effort marion
I thought Marion beat us with a lot of effort baskets.
beat cause contact dribble force foul hand hands helping shot
Because they go pick-and-roll we wanted to go man-to-man on them and force them to beat us off the dribble or make a shot with a hand in their face. I didn't want them to go to the bucket, cause contact (from a helping big man), and put it in someone else's hands to let them do it at the foul line.
answer anyone beat next team white
You beat a team once, they're going to come after you the next night. We had no answer for anyone in a white jersey.
beat guys
No, our guys know about Miami. Of all the things that can beat us (tonight), that shouldn't be one of them.
advantage beats boston both chicago far goes honestly ninth orlando seems taken week
It seems like so far both teams, us and Chicago, honestly we just haven't taken advantage of it. Chicago comes into Boston and beats us and then goes up to Orlando and loses, and we did the same thing a week ago. That's just how the season's been for both teams. That's why we're in the ninth and 10th spots.
ball beat eventually game knew michael tried
If you give Michael Redd a chance, he'll beat you, even on an off night. We tried to take the ball out of his hands. We knew that eventually he would take the game over.
allowed changed four game kept key moving small stretch whoever
I thought we changed the game and we went small with four smalls and one big. It allowed us to stretch the floor, and pick-and-roll. Whoever it was, the key was we kept moving the ball.
difference felt game ourselves points record second won
I thought the difference in the game was that we had two turnovers in the second half, after going for a record it felt like in the first half. We scored 29 points off of turnovers ourselves and that is why we won the game.
gets hate missed quarter quick row run shot six worse
I thought that was the difference. We missed a quick shot then he made six in a row and that gets it to nine. You hate them making a run at the end of a quarter because you have to sub and it just gets worse from there.
effort gave good guys luggage mind plane selection shot
I thought some guys gave good effort tonight, but some have their luggage in mind on the plane already. Turnovers and shot selection killed us.
bench half picked quarter reason soft third though won
I thought our first half was as soft defensively as we'd been all year. We started the third quarter the same way but then our bench picked us up. Even though (our bench) was outscored, I thought they were the reason we won the game.
expect figure happen surprises understand veterans
I think the veterans expect pain. They understand what is going to happen and they keep rolling. With young guys, it surprises them. They haven't had it probably before in their lives. They have to figure out, first, if they can play, and then they have to figure out how to play with it.
cleveland larry
Larry is going to be missed. If Larry can be back for the playoffs, no one will want to play Cleveland if he's right.
