Anything that's more creative is going to be more fun.
bit early executing fourth games gotten great hitting lazy quarter season second shots slow terms tonight
Early in games we've gotten off to slow starts, but tonight we got off to a great start. In the second quarter we kind of got lazy a little bit and they capitalized on it. But the fourth quarter has been our quarter early in the season in terms of hitting our shots and executing our plays, and that's something that we did tonight.
coach hard year
It's not hard for me. It's only Year 4 for me, but this is coach No. 3.
calls couple fueled
There were a couple of questionable calls there. That kind of fueled the whole thing.
giving lift second unit
That second unit has been great. We aren't giving them a lift at all.
guy shots
That's the guy you've got to watch. He's incredible. I can't even think of all the big shots he's made.
great team
They've got a new team with new players. It's going to take them a while to all get on the same page, but they've still got a great team.
ball means trying
They went to a zone, and that means they are trying to get the ball out of Rip's (Hamilton) hands, so we have to make shots.
attacking looked second team tired
They looked a little tired in the second half. Once we started attacking them, they just looked like a team with tired legs.
ball battle defensive detroit knows san
Everyone knows that when San Antonio and Detroit play, it's going to be a battle on the defensive end. The thing that we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding the ball and not let them get second-chance opportunities.
bad behind couple died last mentioned sure
I don't think it's going to be as bad as the last couple that we had at Indy. I know it's still going to be mentioned a lot, but it has died down a lot. We've put that behind us and I'm pretty sure the Pacers did as well.
choose contain finding league man means open pick poison shoot terms
If you keep him out of the paint, that means you've got to sag off your man and he's probably the No. 1 in the league in terms of finding the open man. It's kind of a pick and choose your poison with him. Do you want to try contain him and let him shoot open shots? Or let him penetrate and get him?
execution time
Every time our execution failed, we responded with our defense.
felt great lose playing thinks win
Everyone thinks we're playing this great because we want to show we can play without Larry. We're playing like this because we know how it felt to lose the championship, and we want to win it again.
