below chance fair games gave good starting
Marko had 40-something games to get it done, and we were below .500. I feel very good that I gave Marko more than a fair chance with the starting position.
chance couple next sniff
If we do have a chance or a sniff of making the playoffs, we've got to do it in the next couple weeks.
chance game gave good medicine needed scratch starters worst
We needed a game like this in the worst way. It was good because it gave our starters a chance to play and not have to scratch to be in the game. It was good medicine for us.
advantage bit block chance couple creative fact guys lane move opened quite sending special three took top
Garnett was special (tonight). We opened up the lane for him quite a bit where he had the chance to move from block to block. He took advantage of the fact that we spaced the floor. They were sending a couple of guys at him - one in front, one behind, and one on top of him. They had three guys on him at all times, so we had to get creative with the ball.
cab call chance involved walk
It's irresponsible. You learn, and like I told him this morning, if he has to go somewhere, call a cab. Walk or call a cab or get a ride. Don't even take a chance of getting involved in something like that.

I thought we had a good effort until about a two-minute stretch when Ray (Allen) just went crazy. He hit some tough shots and some tough threes.

I thought we lost a lot of juice. I thought they were quicker than us tonight.
close games group point regain took turning
I thought that was a turning point in our season, (Wells') shot, that group of close games we had. I think it took a little starch out of us, and we were never able to regain (momentum).

I think all those together broke our spirit and our belief in each other.

It happened so quick. We come up with different ways to lose it.

Jason hit some huge shots. I don't know who could have guarded him on a couple of those shots he made.

I saw he got into some scraps with the national team and I like that, as long as you use it in the right way.

Those guys fought hard, played hard. To lose like that ...

We have to put together 48 minutes. That's been our story all year.
