I think the tape is very, very strong evidence of the use of excessive force, ... American Morning. |
I think this is the time of year for a veteran to step up -- guys who have been in the playoffs like he has, guys who are dedicated. So he's focused in more, and he knows that each shot means a whole lot now. It's that time of the year for those types of guys. |
I think we might spend it on a holiday together. If Paul came and changed the front wheels of an F1 car I can't imagine seeing an invoice from him. |
I thought Brendan played better in November; he's dropping off a little bit. We need Brendan to come back and play at a high level for us. I just don't have an answer why there is some slippage there. |
I thought they executed very well and played an all-around game. We didn't have an answer for Brand or Sam. They played well and we didn't - simple as that. |
I thought this was a very well played game. New Jersey stepped up and executed at the right times. |
I thought to win on the road is a big deal in the NBA, the season opener, almost a brand new team for us, ... We're trying to learn how to play with each other. We're a very deep team, a very veteran team and I'm just trying to find the right combinations out there with guys who are playing well, so it is a terrific win. They had a chance to tie it with three shots at the end and the basketball gods were with us. |
I thought we did a decent job (of defending James) early, four minutes I guess, and then he started breaking us down and making shots. Then we tried to double-team those pick and rolls and he started finding people. |
I thought we had a good look. It was too bad it didn't go in. We did the best we could with Yao with the small lineup we played with. We made Yao miss some shots and I was proud of our team. |
I thought we played okay, but they stole the momentum right from the third quarter and just kept it going and we couldn't catch up to them. |
I told them that going 2-1 on the road trip isn't bad. We're just going to correct some mistakes, go to practice and wipe it off. You can't get your head down. It's a war every night, and you got to bounce back. |
I told them: 'We're still a good team,' ... If we take care of business this weekend we're still a special team in the NBA so far with the one loss. |
I wanted to give the rookie a taste, ... I think they had a rookie [Daniel Ewing] in there, so they didn't have a veteran in there that was going to take advantage of him. I thought it would be good to get him something at home. He was what I expected from a rookie with his energy and his quickness. |
I was thinking I'd just made one of the biggest blunders in playoff history. |
I'll be careful what I say. He missed shots. |
