continuing good hard job keeping team together train veteran
He's done a good job of going in there and keeping it together and continuing to train - which is hard to do sometimes. Especially when you have a veteran team like that . . . that's used to doing things their way.
chicago dead far incident team thoughts
The incident happened. It's history. As far as I'm concerned, it's a dead issue. Our whole thoughts as a team are going to be, from here on out, the Chicago Bulls.

I see the difference in our team -- the speed, the quickness, the guys in attack mode. I liked our scrap, I liked our fight.
addition both defend defense guard point shooting team
Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko.
competition continues good job lose point team wrong
Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.
scrap team together
I really like the scrap by our team tonight. They've been together for 500 games, and we've been together for two days.

I thought it was great for our confidence in close games, to come out and close the game, and win a game when a team is making a hard run at you like that. We're excited about it. The guys are excited about it.
addition both brings defend defense experience gain great guard losing nba opportunity player playing point shooting team tough veteran
It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.

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.
against defense execution problem team turned
Avalanche. Offensively, our execution was bad. That's one problem you have against a team defense like that. They turned up the juice, and we couldn't execute.
boards defensive hard offensive run
It's hard to run out when you don't get defensive stops. They got so many offensive boards that it slowed down our momentum.
execute mentally
It's not really who you play; it's us. It's how we mentally prepare. It's how we execute offensively. It's how we execute defensively more so than who the other (team) is.
sees somebody
If he sees somebody open, he's going to make the pass. He's very unselfish, which is what you want in your superstar.

I thought we took some quick shots, which allowed them to get easy buckets. It got their confidence going; it got their rhythm going. We forced some shots.
