locker needed
With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.
bench floor huge meant players win
It was a huge win for us because there haven't been a lot of opportunities for us to smile. I could see from our bench and the players out on the floor that it meant a lot to them.
defended guess win
They executed great, they defended great. They did everything tonight. I guess that allows them to win 32 games.
decisions game maybe ok trying win
Maybe some of Jamal's decisions were a little misguided, but I know he's trying to win the game so I'm OK with that.
fault fourth game great guts guys horrendous mistakes overcome quarter time trying win
You can't fault the effort. Guys are trying to win the game. But when you make mistakes during the guts of the game and you don't have time to overcome them, it magnifies the mistakes. We just had a horrendous fourth quarter and they had a great fourth quarter.
across everybody people trying value win
I don't know what people can do yet in a lot of cases. What I'm trying to get across to everybody is, this is what we value as a group, and this is how we can win games. We're trying to see who's on the same page.
build direction gets kids opinion point talk win
If it gets to a point where it's going where we can't win a game, well, I think the young kids are going to have to play more because, obviously, we're going to try to build something here and that's probably the direction we need to go. But we talk every day, and I don't think there are any differences in opinion in what we should do.
easy figure finding giving larry maybe saying telling trying win
He was giving an opinion, maybe saying Isiah and Larry have different opinions. I don't know if that's derogatory. I'm telling you that we're on the same page. We're trying to win and we're trying to figure this out. He didn't tell me it was going to be easy when I got the job. And I'm finding that out.
wind
It's not going to be as bad. The wind will be a lot lower.
ball everybody gave great moved nicest open people playing quality road shots tempo together trying win
It's a quality win for us on the road. We moved the ball great and got a lot of open shots because we gave the ball up. Controlling the tempo on the road is the way we've got to play ... You look at the stat sheet, and the nicest thing for me is I feel like a lot of people are playing together and trying to make everybody better.
ball great looks moved playing quality road win
They've (Indiana) been playing great and I know this wasn't one of their better games, but it was a quality win on the road for us. We moved the ball great and got a lot of great looks because of it.
huge reasons win
That was a huge win for us, because there haven't been a lot of reasons to smile.
gone happy kept pointed winning
They were teasing me about winning my first game. I was happy for them. They've gone through a lot. They haven't pointed any fingers. They just kept working.
asked coached days deal everybody game next spoken tries win
I've spoken to you after 28 games, and there was one game I was disappointed and I said that. Everybody makes a big deal (about it), I coached him (Marbury) for the next two days just like I always coached him. He's done what I asked and tries to win the game.
