bad best good miss played proud shots small
I thought we had a good look. It was too bad it didn't go in. We did the best we could with Yao with the small lineup we played with. We made Yao miss some shots and I was proud of our team.
good group
We have a good group of young guys, a good core,
boards coming early game good graham guys hurting kicked lucky miss scrappy spark team
I tell you what, Toronto's got a scrappy, young team, ... They kicked our butts on the boards early in the game and they just keep coming at you. The young guys really give them a spark and I didn't think Graham was going to miss at first and then they just started hurting us on the boards. It's a good scrappy team and we were lucky to get out of it with the win.
cannot challenge discipline finish full good impatient next organized playing position reason season strong talked tonight win
This was a good win for us tonight. We were competitive and were more organized down the stretch. Tonight we talked about not being impatient on defense, and playing each position for the full 24 seconds. There is no reason why we cannot play like this for the next 21 games. That is our challenge - to finish the season strong and to play with discipline like we did tonight.
adversity against bad bit call competing defense deserved distracted good whether
We were not competing in the paint, and we are getting distracted a little bit by what's going on out on the floor, not getting through a little bit of adversity whether you think it's a bad call or good defense against you. But for the most part they just outplayed us, and they deserved to win.
closed free good runs
We closed out two good quarters. We had some runs and we kind of absorbed their runs and we made the important free throws.

Today there was a collective effort. We are riding the momentum that we started three games ago. Caron did a really good job defensively. He is really embracing the role that we assigned him as the defensive captain, and we are just riding a wave right now.
best dangerous defended distracted good lost offensive team
We lost to a very good team, a very well-coached team, and a team that has a lot of dangerous pieces. We did the best we could, but we got a little disorganized and distracted on the offensive end. For the most part we really defended well.
assassin basketball belief focused good job lead player playoff team three victories
How will he react? Will he be focused to lead this team the right way to as many victories as we can get? Will he sulk for three weeks? My belief is that he'll be a focused assassin -- a focused basketball player to get the job done and lead this team to a good playoff position.
catch deep gets good moves nice post runs
He gets out on the break. He runs well for a big guy. He's a good passer. ... We can't let him catch it too deep in the post - he's got too many nice post moves down there.
good help looks open
He looks to help his teammates, ... He does that first. That's what we preach. You do that and you're going to open up things for yourself. He's a good fit.
continue finish good team
If we continue to play like that, we are going to be a pretty good team to finish the season.
confidence feels good healthy knows question rotation rough
He has had a rough year, no question about it. But he knows that he's in the rotation now, and he feels good about his game. I think he's as healthy as he's been all year, and he knows we have confidence in him.
carried everybody game good guy hang help mix playoff rode tie tight veterans
We kind of rode his coattails, ... He carried us. We went from a tie game to up 11 because he got going. Now, they hang on to him and say, 'Thanks Gil.' We should play with poise; we've got veterans now with playoff experience. And that should help us in back-to-back games. We've got a good mix of scorers and defenders. And we've got a guy who can make everybody better. When that thing got real tight tonight, it was, 'Thanks Gil.'
