gets
When he gets it going like that, I don't know what you can do.
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.
bench biggest deep extended fantastic kept lead point second
The biggest point for us was when we went deep into the bench in the second quarter. We kept the lead and we actually extended the lead, and you see how young the bench is. Gerald was fantastic in the first half.
execution fights-and-fighting kept proud teach using
I was happy. I was proud of our young guys. They just kept fighting. I was using it to teach execution to young guys.
ball found game great guys kept moving open swing trap until won
I thought we won the game because of great ball movement. That's how you play at the end of a game. If they trap you, swing it, and the ball kept moving until it found the open guy. You could see our guys at the end were getting into the ball movement.
control fight good great happen jersey kept nice took win
That was a great win for us. We had control of it at times, but you know New Jersey is going to fight back because they are so talented. I thought it was nice that when they did fight back, and took the lead, we kept our composure. We kept fighting, and good things happen when you do that.
blew last point prove winning
They have a point to prove to a lot of people, and they go out to prove that every night. They feel like they blew one last year, and the only way to prove that point is by winning it again.
danny five games last page six teaching
These last five or six games are tough, and like I told Danny (Ainge), I don't know what to do. But this is nothing I want to go through again. Me and Danny are on the same page about this, though. We have to keep teaching the young guys.
broken fourth spirit third whatever
I thought, for whatever reason, our spirit was broken in the third and fourth quarters.
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.
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.
moved people realized until
It wasn't until he moved (to off-guard) that people realized he was an All-Star.
minutes putting time understand
I do understand putting them all in at the same time is dangerous. I don't really care. I'm still going to do it right now. I think they need to get out there and play minutes so I'm going to keep doing it.
bet care changes hate league next start takes time tough turn
If you make a lot of changes in this league and even if they can play, it takes time for it to work. Then when you start losing, the snowball starts. I don't care who you are, it's tough to turn around. I would hate to see them next year, even if they make no changes. I would bet you that they'd be much better.
