afforded asked asking calls guys team
I'm not asking for preferential treatment. All I'm asking is that my guys are afforded the same calls the other team is getting. That's all I've ever asked for.
forget guys missed owe stop
He's going to be missed for a long, long time. I don't want these guys to forget him. I don't want them to ever stop remembering him and what he was about. I think we all owe that to his legacy.
adequate allen caught contain defense fourth game hope solid stop third
I thought we just defended. You're not going to stop Allen Iverson. Webber had a big game as well. All you can do is try to contain them and hope for the best. I thought we did an adequate job. I thought our defense was solid in the third and fourth (quarter). Once we caught up, it was back and forth.
finally finish locker offensive playing room solid team time
Our locker room is very excited. I think any time you play this team (Boston), they're well-coached. They've got a lot of offensive weapons. For us to come in and play a solid game, and finally finish a game, (is satisfying) because we've been playing pretty well as of late.
breakfast guys jason meeting morning prepare running shut tape
This morning at our breakfast meeting we put on the tape and here's Jason running up and down the floor. I told them to shut it off. I didn't want to show the guys that tape. We just had to prepare in other ways.

He's been here and he's familiar with everything we do.

Their bench hurt us in the first half. Their bench outscored our starters. That was a devastating blow.
happens normal shots
I thought he had his normal looks. He just didn't make his shots and that happens in this league.
bottom changes dominant dominating line played player players
The bottom line is that he (O'Neal) just changes the game. He's the most dominating player in this league. He is one of the most dominant players that has ever played our game.
bit defend guys handle joe looking open putting shots team together
Joe is the description of what they're looking for. When you're putting a team together you're looking for guys who can do a little bit of everything. You want guys that can score, handle the ball, pass, defend and make shots in the open court. Joe can do all of those things.
bench came energy tremendous
Their bench was tremendous tonight. They had more energy when they came in. You've got to give them a lot of credit.
calls driving guys hands
To me, that's it in a nutshell. He doesn't get any calls . When he's driving to the basket, guys have their hands all over him, and there's nothing called. It doesn't make sense.
figure plays
We just have to figure out how to make plays at the end.
