ball defense either felt game guess last nobody people playing team tough
It's a tough loss. The game felt like the team who had the ball last was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team. I guess that's what people want to watch. I don't.
both either mean moment rivalry throw york
At the moment, it doesn't mean as much because we're not as good, either team. But the moment we both become that good, then the rivalry will be right back where it was. These two cities, and you can throw New York in there, have something going with each other.
ball defense either felt game good gotten last nobody playing shot team tough
Even if we got it up court, we wouldn't have gotten a good shot off. It's a tough loss. The game felt like the last team who had the ball was going to score. Nobody was playing defense on either team.
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.
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.
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.
needed saw sitting tony
I saw Tony just sitting there when we started practice. That told me all I needed to know.
effect entire grant hill people time understand
I said it the entire time I was here: I don't think people understand the effect of not having Grant Hill on the floor. They don't. They didn't when I was here, and they don't now. And it's too bad.
physically played soft team tougher win
We played as soft as a team can be. They were tougher mentally, physically and there was no way we were going to win that game.
