I will say this: If we have 82 of these, I don't know if I can take this season. It was a great comeback by us because we put ourselves in a hole and got out of it. |
I would play him right away. 'There you go. Guard somebody.' And he can do that. I'm sure he'll play. I'd be surprised if he didn't. |
I'm hoping. Let me put it this way. I would be surprised if it didn't go that way every night. |
I'm pretty set on it. I don't know what purpose it would serve to send him down now. There has to be a point where he has to play against the pros. And we will use him while he's up here. |
I'm thrilled with his play. Going from a 'two' to a 'one' is tough. I'm surprised he's figured out when to shoot and when not to this fast. |
If I was a betting man .... You can't even joke about that any more. If my wife was a betting woman ... I'd say Al would be back first. |
If you give Michael Redd a chance, he'll beat you, even on an off night. We tried to take the ball out of his hands. We knew that eventually he would take the game over. |
If you make a lot of changes in this league and even if they can play, it takes time for it to work. Then when you start losing, the snowball starts. I don't care who you are, it's tough to turn around. I would hate to see them next year, even if they make no changes. I would bet you that they'd be much better. |
It came down to the fact that they've been together and they trusted each other. They made a run and they played great defense. You knew they were going to do that. |
It fell apart. They attacked. I thought they were the aggressor and I thought we went back on our heels a little bit. |
It hurts. We had the win and we gave it away. The blame falls on all of us -- players, coaches, everybody. |
It is nice when you are a scorer like Ricky and you can make a contribution in another way besides scoring. That first quarter might have been the worst defense we played all season, but they turned it around with the way (Davis and Pierce) played in the fourth quarter. |
It means we won't be doing something I had wanted. |
It really was awesome. I didn't think anybody could score 81 points. And he didn't play well in the first half. The amazing part was he didn't get tired. That guy never gets tired. |
It seems like so far both teams, us and Chicago, honestly we just haven't taken advantage of it. Chicago comes into Boston and beats us and then goes up to Orlando and loses, and we did the same thing a week ago. That's just how the season's been for both teams. That's why we're in the ninth and 10th spots. |
