complaints-and-complaining found works
With our group, we've found that this works for us. Nobody's complained. We don't have much of a complaining group.
continue difficult guys intensity level necessary playing practice
This was a very difficult practice, and they're going to continue to be difficult. We're just not playing at an intensity level that's necessary for us to win. The guys know it. It's something we've got to get corrected.
almost free question shot silly team
There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team.
games win
With 18 games to go they do not get much bigger. It is not as if we don't win we are out of it, or if we do win it does anything devastating to Milwaukee. It is just a very important game.
bigger games
With 18 games to go, they don't get much bigger than this. It's not like if we don't win, we're out of it or if we do win, it's devastating to Milwaukee. It's just a very important game.
coming hunted
We're the hunted and they're going to be coming after us.

We're three games down with 17 to go and two tough ones this weekend. That's why it's the NBA ? it's a tough business. We got to respond now.
difficult fall game next odds thinking win
We know the odds are still long. We know how difficult it is when you fall behind. We are already thinking about the next game. If we go down 3-1 and go into their building, the odds become long again. We need to win the next game to really make it a series.
best imagine miami percent ready team wins
We know the odds. Ninety-five percent of the time, the team that is up 2-0 wins the series. I imagine we're going to see the best Miami has on Sunday, and we'd better be ready for it.
blind five good half maybe men problem second talking
We need every win. The problem is we started the second half like five blind men. We were not executing, not talking to each other. Maybe one half is good enough for us right now. We have to get that rectified.
key stop
We just couldn't stop him in key moments.
defensive far guys learn point season serious until
We have yet to get serious about the defensive end and out-play people. Until we do that, we are going to be an up and down team. I thought by this point in the season a lot of our guys would learn that lesson, but so far they haven't.
mental physical
We had way too many breakdowns. Mental breakdowns and physical breakdowns.
fought presented whenever
We had a lot of opportunities to quit. But whenever that presented itself, we fought our way out of it.
