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.
last nine stop took trips year
Last year was horrendous. We had to stop and refuel. Those trips took nine and 10 hours.
calm deserved felt last owed played
Another calm night. I think we deserved that one after the last two times that we played them. We felt we stole this one tonight. But we felt they stole two from us, so we owed them that one.
difference keeps last selfish teammates year
The difference in him now from last year is that he keeps his teammates involved. He scored 36 in the flow, and if he was selfish he could have scored 50 and they may have lost.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
