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.

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

They are the measuring stick of the league. They have been together for what? Five years? We've been together for three games.

I really like the scrap by our team tonight. They've been together for 500 games, and we've been together for two days.

At some time we have to start getting a rhythm together and getting a feel for each other, and we wanted that to be this week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you mess with the game, it will come around and get you in the end.

I just want to coach basketball. I don't want to worry about the salary cap and agents calling.
attacking came couple heels instead last
In the first half, we came out with too much respect. We were back on our heels instead of attacking the way we have the last couple games.
