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.
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.
best cost defended few fought hard last loss missed obviously stops time tough
This was obviously a very tough loss for us. We fought hard and defended the last play as best as we could. At the same time we didn't some stops and missed a few rebounds, which cost us.
four front games measure mission ourselves package remaining start stay
A disappointing loss. But to start the new year, we have a five-game mission in front of us. We're down one, and we're still going to stay positive. We'll see where the remaining four games of the five-game package will take us, and we'll measure ourselves after that.
banging catch coaches door eventually everybody guys hope interview mail main maybe missed ourselves season shooting talk work
I'm getting a lot of mail from shooting coaches around the country, ... They are banging the door down to come in and work with our guys and talk to our guys, so maybe I'm going to have to interview some people. No, I don't know. It's been our main guys missing. One game, everybody missed them. They're working on it. It's a long season and you hope that eventually we'll catch ourselves and improve.
careful missed
I'll be careful what I say. He missed shots.
adversity against calls competing continued deal defense distracted good learn missed paint physical plague played poor second
They just outplayed us in the second half. They were more physical than us in the paint and the same things continued to plague us - poor third-quarter performance, not competing in the paint, and being distracted by what's going on at the other end of the court. We have to learn to deal with adversity and not be distracted by missed calls or good defense being played against us.
breaking decent defending finding four job minutes pick rolls tried
I thought we did a decent job (of defending James) early, four minutes I guess, and then he started breaking us down and making shots. Then we tried to double-team those pick and rolls and he started finding people.
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.
answer brand played simple
I thought they executed very well and played an all-around game. We didn't have an answer for Brand or Sam. They played well and we didn't - simple as that.
almost basketball brand chance deal deep gods guys learn playing road season shots team terrific three tie trying veteran win
I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us.
jersey played stepped
I thought this was a very well played game. New Jersey stepped up and executed at the right times.
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.
decision felt point
It got to a point where he felt it was intolerable. We made a decision to give it some rest.
