I wish we were celebrating making the playoffs. It was certainly disappointing losing a game like this, giving up points we gave up. It's a crazy league -- we win the next two games we're still the fifth seed. |
I would hope above average. Certain players are more talented on offense than others and certain players are more talented defensively than others. But that being said, I think their commitment to (defense) is pretty good. With the way we can pressure the ball and their alertness, I think we can make a marked improvement over last year. We have to. I think everyone realizes that. |
I'd like to be able to put him off the ball and have him catch the ball with a live dribble. He's so good with pick and rolls, I'd like to get him in different pick and roll situations rather than just coming down and running it. It just adds to our game. |
I'd rather have it that way than the other way. It's up to us. It's going to be a tough game. It's on the road and they've got Caron Butler back. They want and need to win as much as we do. It'll be about two teams competing for the same thing. |
I'm a glass half-full guy, |
I'm glad we played the way we did. The way we play is always important. |
I'm not going to do that tonight. |
I'm proud of our streak of keeping teams under 94. Really everyone on the floor contributed defensively. |
I'm thrilled to get the win. But I'd like to close out games better. We've had about five games in a row where we haven't. We've won most of them. But that's just an area I'd like to improve. |
I'm very happy for Michael. He's worked very hard to get to this point, meeting every challenge along the way. He's one of the hardest working players I've ever had the pleasure of working with and he has the character to match. |
I'm very pleased with their attention to aggression on defense, |
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game, ... In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster. |

I've been disappointed with them scoring in transition. We need to do a better job of that. |
I've been impressed by how hard he's worked, |
