Watching him play and watching him talk about the seasons that they had is motivating. I grew up watching it, so to hear the inside scoop of the championships they won and watching him play is a motivation. |
We all know where to find Eddie. Just go to the casino. |
We call him Antoine McAdoo. |
We call him Antoine McAdoo. He came off the bench and got 20 points. |
We came out early, hard from the start, ... We didn't want to give a team any confidence in our building. I think it all starts with me. So I tried to come out tonight and attack. Hopefully my guys followed and it did. |
We came out of the locker room knowing we had let this team back in the game. We knew we had to get back our focus. |
We can't say, 'We're not playing the best teams in the league, so we can relax.' Not at all. It's the NBA, so we have to focus on getting better, so we can be as good as we're going to get by the time the playoffs come. |
We didn't come out in the fourth like our usual selves. Most of the time in the fourth, we'll make the right plays. We made some of the wrong plays in the fourth tonight. |
We don't get into that whose-team-it-is. We know that we need both of us to be on top of our games for this team to be as good as it's going to be because this team was built around us. |
We don't want any what-ifs this year. |
We don't want injuries, especially to our best player, ... We just hope he can come back real soon. He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on his knee, ankle or whatever he hurt. |
We fought back and it seemed like every time we got it close they made a play. |
We gave ourselves a chance tonight. We were on our home floor, but they made the plays. |
We go as far as the big guy takes us. |
We got a couple of guys in foul trouble and Coach continued to rest us and let the reserves come in. They played good, but the Bulls really wanted it. |
