ball everybody good great moved paul played
Wally and Paul played so well off each other. Well, everybody did a great job. The defense, at times, was really good with the rotations, and I just thought the ball moved great.
absolutely knew paul realize
Paul was absolutely sensational tonight. I didn't realize they had 50 and 43. I knew they had a lot. I could sense that. I just didn't know it was that high. Pretty cool.
effort gave paul rather superhuman
Paul gave a superhuman effort for us to get back in this game. You'd rather have a balance, but I'd take 40 from Paul.
paul played playing shots sure
We have to make sure that Wally and Paul have shots at the end of the game. I'm disappointed in the loss. We played hard, but we're not playing smart.
bothered defense hard paul toll took work
Their defense really bothered us. Paul had to work way too hard to get his offense. I thought it took a toll on him.
beginning paul pierce quarter third took
The end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth, Paul Pierce took over the game.
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.
