both guys hopefully work
Hopefully we'll play these guys again. But we both have a lot of work to do before that.
guys looked
Chauncey looked a lot livelier. A lot of guys looked a lot more livelier tonight.
charles game gave great talk
Charles (Barkley, TNT commentator) gave a great talk for us at halftime. He said the game was over.
chicago found plays tried turn type
Chicago plays physical. They play hard. I think that they found out that if they just let us do what we want to do, we can be very effective. So they tried to turn it into a muck it, grind-it-up type game.
best both chances couple face game hits next resilient took
He took a couple of hits both on the face and in the head, I thought it was best for us not to take any chances if we didn't have to. He's going to get enough punishment, hits and bruises on our next game (facing Shaquille O'Neal ). He's a pretty resilient guy, but still, you don't want to see that.
coming hour shooting worked
He's worked hard. He's come in more than some of the other guys. He's been coming in at night, like 8 p.m., and shooting for an hour, hour and a half.
guy sore
He's the one guy we've had who has been a little sore in the legs.
classy clean david league offense statement stern three took wants
I have only been here three months, and I took offense to it. I just don't think that's right ... especially in our league right now. Commissioner David Stern has made a statement that he wants this league to be classy and to clean things up. To do something like that was uncalled for.
season split stay sure win
I'm sure they will want to get a win and split the season series. We'll want to be competitive, and stay sharp.
almost basket jump shot whenever
He can get a jump shot whenever he wants, he can get to the basket almost whenever he wants, and he just does things so easy.
chase flow indiana rebounds stops
I don't think we got in any flow offensively or defensively. We just didn't make stops or chase down long rebounds like Indiana did.
days evaluate hard help orlando team
He's making progress. What will help him is that after Orlando (tonight) we have two days of practice. He will be able to have two hard team practices, and we can evaluate him after that.
change feels great playing
He's in a great rhythm. When you get someone who's playing in a rhythm, you don't want to change their routine. He feels comfortable, and he's playing well.
few guys might shoot
If he does, we're going to play zone. And we'll see if those guys can shoot from 23 feet. (Johnson) might do it, but we have a few things up our sleeve.
