You're on a back-to-back, Chicago has been sitting here for three days and you lose Jermaine O'Neal in the first half -- our guys showed a lot of character. It was great.

Most of these new arenas have very good color schemes so you don't have depth perception problems.
carter difference played
I thought we played hard. I thought we rebounded well. (Jason) Kidd and (Vince) Carter are difference makers.
detroit good happened hurt job last quarters second stop struggled team third tune type
The second and third quarters hurt us defensively. We struggled and had some stretches where we couldn't stop them. Detroit is a team that is going to do a good job in the last play type of situations, but I'm more in tune to what happened in the second and third quarters than on the last play.
bottle camp caught competing experience found great lightning nba playing training transition virginia
I found that the transition to competing in an NBA training camp was not that difficult, especially with my experience at Virginia and playing in the ACC. Fortunately, I kind of caught lightning in a bottle that year, had a great training camp and made the team.
error hard margin numbers paint points
I think it's a continuance of the same things we've said for a while. The margin of error for us is not great. They had 13 second-chance points and 50 points in the paint and those numbers are hard to overcome.

He (Redd) was phenomenal with his shot making, especially in the third and the fourth (quarters). Then all of them were hitting threes after a while. The third quarter did us in.
heels night
He had us on our heels a lot of the night.
exhausted luxury physical problem sick sitting situation
Part of the problem was that Jermaine was sick (Monday) and he was really exhausted in the first half. I know his physical situation contributed to some of his struggles. We just didn't have the luxury of sitting him much tonight.

It's a huge win. As big a win as I can remember in a long time.

He's doing a little better the last couple of days. My sense is that he'll play.
finding gave great guys hanging ourselves played stepped
I thought our guys showed a lot guts, hanging and finding a way to claw back in the game. Jermaine O'Neal was great and we had a lot of other guys who stepped up and played big. We had a chance, we gave ourselves a chance.
certainly everybody happy side speak winning
I think I speak for everybody when I say that we like winning better than we like losing. We're certainly happy to get on the winning side of a game. It's been a while.
affected guys losing love moods winning
He's here to play, he's here to win, ... His moods are much more affected by winning and losing than anything else. I love having guys like that.
