cared defensive direction guys huge minutes says shoot starting takes tonight win
It says a lot about the direction we're going in, with the new starting lineup a huge, huge defensive emphasis. Some guys didn't play as many minutes tonight as normal, but we really cared about doing the things that it takes to win and not about what's going to shoot up in the stat sheet.
carrying caught drawing far fire great job mike miller team tonight
Mike Miller caught fire and they just executed well at the end of the game. You have to know where he is on the floor, and he was drawing a lot of attention. He was a difference-maker tonight and did a great job as far as carrying his team and making some big shots.
cares coach fortunate growth guy improved maturity since talent tremendous
I've been very fortunate to coach a guy like Gilbert. His growth and maturity has improved tremendously since his first season. He cares about the team. He cares about winning. He's a tremendous talent and he's only 24.
carried coaches compared defensive eight few hit seemed steady weight
Gilbert carried us tonight. One of the coaches compared this lineup with Philadelphia's a few years ago - (Allen) Iverson and eight defensive players. That's what it seemed like tonight. Caron carried some of the weight and Daniels hit some big shots, but (Arenas) was the steady scorer.
ball carrying coming defining flying game physical played road starting throughout together trip
Starting with that six-game road trip, that was our defining moment. Right now we're coming through with flying colors. We went 3-3 on that trip but it's how we've played. We played physical and together and we were in every ball game and we're carrying that throughout the end of the season.
careful missed
I'll be careful what I say. He missed shots.
came car changed f1 front holiday imagine might paul seeing spend wheels
I think we might spend it on a holiday together. If Paul came and changed the front wheels of an F1 car I can't imagine seeing an invoice from him.
attack ball care high last plus takes turn
The thing I really like is that he's aggressive, but he also takes care of the basketball, ... The last two years he's been very high in assist-to-turnover ratio. When you can attack like he can and you don't turn the ball over and you make the right decisions, that's a real plus for us.
bulls dribble game good job knew plan run stay team though type wings
Even though we were up 20 at halftime, we knew the Bulls would make a run at us. That is the type of team they are. They are a disciplined, well-coached team. Our game plan was to get up in the wings and stay with the dribble penetration, and we did a good job with that.
controlled lunatics reason
If the lunatics can be controlled I would have every reason to come back and look at F1.
control doubt game hell hurts terrific
He's a terrific player. He hurts you from the three. He hurts you from the post. We wanted to see if he could control the game one-on-one. He's very focused. He's a hell of a player, no doubt about it.
collective games momentum riding three wave
It was a collective effort, and we're just riding the momentum that we started three games ago. Everyone has responded from three games ago, and we're just riding the wave right now.
catch kept momentum played quarter third
I thought we played okay, but they stole the momentum right from the third quarter and just kept it going and we couldn't catch up to them.

I'm proud to have Gilbert represent us at the All-Star Game. Gilbert has been phenomenal for us throughout the season, and his play has helped put us in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. He is very deserving of this honor, and I think it's a credit to our entire team. We're all very excited and grateful that commissioner Stern recognized Gilbert as one of basketball's true stars.
