It's a real shame we couldn't win our last home game and keep our streaks going. Chicago showed why they are going to the playoffs. I feel I didn't do a good job coaching. It was a disappointing game. |
It's a setback for us, but I feel bad for Grant with everything he's gone through the past five years. He had a very productive summer and he felt great coming out of it, and he had a great training camp. For our team, it's just a situation where we have to step up. Collectively, we have to step up and make up for the loss. But the games still go on. |
It's all going to be decided in Game 82. Those six, seven and eight spots are going to be decided on the last day of the year. |
It's been the strangest thing I've ever seen. Let's hope we can stay with that trend and run off a few wins in a row here. |
It's hard for me to talk about next year. All I really want to do is make sure we finish up this season on the right note and that's our game Wednesday night against Indiana. |
It's one thing to be good and talented and deep. It's another to be good and talented and deep and injury free. If you look at the history of our league, that's paramount. |
It's really sad for somebody that young and so early in his professional career. It's obviously devastating for his wife, his family and the Hawks organization. |
Just like the Medical Center, we had water in the Zoo. We lost one small animal that was spooked by the weather. All of the other animals came through during Tropical Storm Allison. During Alicia, I am told by some of the veteran zookeepers, that we lost two birds. |
Last week every possession was a struggle. Now, not to say we've found the formula, but we're sharing the ball. And we're doing a better job of taking care of the ball. But it's only been two games. |
Maybe it says something about the fact that they were both raised in different countries. I think if you ask anybody, they'll tell you European players are more fundamentally sound than American players. And maybe the same is true for learning the game in Puerto Rico. |
Michael Redd is an outstanding offensive player. He made some big shots down the stretch. |
My father always told me just worry about the things you can control and don't worry about anything else. I can't control the number of games we play. As long as we keep playing the way we're playing, that's the most important thing to me. |
None of our guards are doing a good job of setting and using screens on the pick and roll and overall, we're just not paying attention to detail and executing. |
Now when a guy drives baseline, that's how I wanna to see you jump and contest the shot. |
Obviously this was a much needed win. It was a good win that was kind of like Murphy's Law. Everything that could go wrong in the first half did go wrong. But we played very well in the second half and we clamped down on defense. |
