allen ball defensive game good offensive phase pick shared team
I just thought that everyone had to pick up every phase of our game because Allen wasn't playing. We did that on the offensive end and the defensive end. We shared the ball and we did a lot of good things team wise.
allen few game guys time tolerate wants
Allen is one of the few guys who can tolerate a lot of pain, and at game time you know he really wants to play. We take him for granted.
allen chris continued drive fourth guys jump late needed penalty score shots
Down the stretch, when we needed those two guys to score the points, that's what they did. We got into the penalty and Allen continued to drive the ball, and Chris had wide-open jump shots because Allen continued to drive the ball, and that's what those guys have to do late in the fourth quarter.
allen ball bit four guys hands hope played spread three
The way we're going to play without Allen Iverson is the way we played tonight. When you have Allen, you can put the ball in his hands a little bit more. When we do not have him, you have to spread it around and hope you get three or four guys who can score.
allen chris
No, Allen and Chris are not going to play tonight.
allen hurt point
If Allen is hurt to the point where he can't play, you know he's really, really hurt.
allen ball chris cut guys hands help move tonight utilize
The ball will be in Chris' hands a lot, and guys will have to cut and move off him. Allen is a player, a guy who can go get his own shot; tonight we have to utilize Chris a lot to help get guys their shots.
allen anytime chris coming games guys huge plus realizing rest tough
Anytime you can rest Allen and Chris it's big, realizing how many games we have coming up this week. Those are tough games, and anytime you get to rest those guys is a huge plus for us.

I thought everyone had to pick up every phase of our game.

I think less minutes is something that we're going to start trying to do now.
sam starting
Sam is working his way back in the lineup. I don't know when. He will be back starting at some point. I just want him to be consistent; I want him to be aggressive, that's all. It has something to do with Steven; it has something to do with us as a team.
reason record saw
You saw the reason why they have the record they have ? they do a lot of little things.
caught good job offensive phoenix players push team
I thought that we did a pretty good job in not getting caught up in the way Phoenix played. We don't have the offensive players that they have. Any team can get caught in the way they push the ball.
guys
I thought all of the guys had a lot of energy.
