battle both game good knew level plays raised second
I thought the way that game unfolded made that a very good win. We knew we'd have a battle in the second half. We battled and made a lot of big plays on both ends. When it got really tight, we raised our level of play.
ben defense good incorrect played talking terrible
We played terrible defense (on Monday) and he was talking about touches. I thought that was the incorrect thing to be talking about. I thought Ben was good tonight.
across fortunate good push tempo three
We had good performances across the board. We like the tempo of our offense, the way it's been going these three games. ... We want to push it up. Tonight, we were more fortunate with it because we were able to get more stops.
allowed ball defense exception game good handful life looks played running shot start
We had good life from start to finish, and we played very good defense with the exception of a handful of possessions. That allowed us to get out and get our running game going, and get some good looks in transition; and we shot the ball well tonight.
conflict given good interest suppose
I suppose that's a good question. I don't know. Would there be a conflict of interest there because he was in Washington? I really haven't given that a whole lot of thought.
dealing difficult good job players showing talented
There are talented players over there, but from what I read, (McMillan) is still dealing with players showing up late. Those are things that are very difficult to deal with. I'm an outsider, but I think he has done a good job of it.
beginning force good kirk nice offense played ran tonight
Kirk was outstanding tonight pretty much from beginning to end. Defensively he was as good as he always is and he played with a nice tempo. He didn't really force anything, ran the offense well, penetrated and made a lot of good decision.
good nba normally
We had a better-than-average NBA effort. But that's not normally good enough for us to win.
afraid bring good guy guys liked somebody
We liked Stephen. It's just that we wanted to take a look at a big guy also with the 10-days. It's good for them and it's good for our guys to know we're not afraid to bring somebody in and give them a look.
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.
ball cannot good happen inspired several
We have had several of those so far. We cannot have that. We are not good enough to play like that and win. We have to play inspired ball all the time, or this will happen to us.
across confident focused good guys
We did what we had to do. We were able to get off to a better start. Our guys were confident and relaxed, yet focused from the start. We had good performances across the board.
ball bit came good played selection shot
We did what we had to do. We came out and played with energy, I thought we had good ball movement. Our shot selection was excellent, and I think they were a little bit off.
coming front full game good guys home maybe momentum pick team
We were able to pick up a full game on the team right in front of us. I think it is important that the guys go home with a good game under their belt. Maybe we will have a little momentum coming out of the break.
