We're pretty thin up front, but I thought our guys battled hard. We turned the ball over and put them on the free-throw line too much (33 times compared to 23 for Toronto). |
We've got people like Mo (Peterson) and Mike (James) who can spot up and make some shots. |
We've just got to make shots. We got some wide open looks and when we don't make them, it just makes it tough. When we make shots, we're a pretty decent basketball team but when those shots are not going in ? and the last few games those shots haven't been going in ? it's tough. |
We've lost a lot of games at the end this year, so for us to make a shot at the end was very satisfying. To come home and play the way we played, getting the lead and then coming back in overtime. It's nice to win, especially at home. |
We've seen enough of the guys that we have a good idea of what they can do and we're going to play the guys who have been playing. |
Well, it's something we've been constantly on Chris about and he's taken advantage. When he's shooting the ball the way he is shooting it, it's tough for teams because they still have to go out and guard him from 17 feet, and he is just so quick. |
When I put him in the lineup as a small forward, I told him it was on a game-to-game basis. He assured me he wasn't going to relinquish the position. |
Why try to put 40 pounds on the guy's frame. It would have been an injustice to him. He has got an in-between game, he has got a post-up game. Charlie has a chance to be a very good player in the NBA. |
With Allen Iverson, you just have to pay attention to him every minute. He's going to beat you in so many ways. |
With two seconds left you just try to get your best look and Jalen made a great pass to Mo. |
Yes, they were 10-for-14 from the 3. You have to give that team something. They're just physically bigger than us at every position. |
You ask me how many game we're going to win, I'll tell you at the end of the season. I'll tell you in April. |
You can tell by his attitude and how he plays that he wants to establish himself as one of the better players in the league. That's just obvious. I watched their game against San Antonio. He had a tough shooting night but you know what he was relentless. He kept coming. The good ones are like that. |
You get a chance to see a guy under fire ? not a free look but you get to see him against good competition. |
You got to be on the door. Now we got to learn how to kick it down. Hopefully our guys learned a lot from this season. I know I did. |
