added bigger character experience heart man players
It's talent, toughness, experience and character. We've added two players that give us all those qualities. The heart is bigger than the man sometimes. That's what we have. We think that's going to take us to another level.
adding excited player playoff smart tough
One of the things I like about Antonio is his versatility, ... Those two can really be interchangeable back there. He's a tough player and he's a smart player with a lot of playoff experience, which is something we were excited about adding to our team.
bother commitment continued dangerous defensive doctor four hoped mike minutes percent players pressure respect six sure
This is just what the doctor ordered. I respect what Mike Woodson has done with Atlanta. They are a dangerous team. We wanted to make sure that there was 100 percent defensive commitment from our players for the first four to six minutes of the game. We hoped that if we continued to put the pressure on Atlanta, then the pressure would bother them.
anywhere calling damage either heck hope hoping played player plays sidelines takes uniform
Either he's going to be in uniform doing some damage or he's going to be on the sidelines calling out our plays like he did when we played them in the preseason, ... I'm hoping that he's not anywhere to be seen. He's a heck of a player and I hope that he takes another day off.
competition defends defensive excellent kinds passes player seems shoot step stood taste
The thing that stood out to me is that Andray seems to have an excellent feel for the game, ... He passes well, he defends well, he can step out and shoot the ball. He competes on the glass. He doesn't back down on the defensive end. Those are the kinds of things you like to see from a young player getting his first taste of competition at this level.
change players repetitive serious time true
The time when we made the change in the lineup was a true wake-up call. It said that we've done enough with the X's and the O's and the repetitive talking, this and that and film work. Now it is time to change the people. When players see that, they say this is serious business.
center forward great guards physical player presence quarters question special three
There's no question that he's a special player for us, ... I can play him at forward or center and he switches out on guards on pick-and-rolls. I can play him after he sits there for three quarters and he does a great job. I can play him when I feel we need a more physical presence tonight, more defense. He does everything for us. He's important for us.
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.
attacks best bit early help home knows players
I think he may be more aggressive. He's a little bit different at home - he attacks early and often. But he knows that the best players help their teammates, and that's what he's been doing.
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.
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.
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.
