It would be nice if we could play well and put somebody away. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win. |
It would be nice to have Darius because he is another big man who can shoot it. There's a lot of pressure on Malik because he's our only big who can shoot it outside. |
It?s been kind of mysterious, really, ... Maybe if I was on TV, pleading my case, I?d be better off. But I guess that?s not really my style. |
It's a 50-plus win team with two of the top 10 players in the league (O'Neal, Dwayne Wade). With Shaq, we'll try to collapse on him when he catches it and then make him play inside-out. With Dwayne, we'll just do our best to get help and make him play in a crowd. |
It's a disappointing loss because of the way we played. We didn't play particularly well in the first-half. Yet we had a two-point lead and they didn't have Webber. We just came out after halftime really flat and looked bewildered. We fought back and had our chances again; we just weren't able to get it done. |
It's as important as a regular-season game can get. |
It's baffling as much as we work on end-of-game situations that we just took the ball up and turned it over right there. I don't understand it. |
It's been a good impression; he's a very good offensive player. He's got a lot to learn on the defensive end, as all rookies do. I'm not sure, yet, what his future holds here. But he's definitely on the verge of being an NBA player. |
It's concerned me all year, but it's part of who were are. At this point, I've got to accept it and we've got to find other ways to win. |
It's no secret that the last couple of years we were trying to rebuild and redo our team, and there's a lot of teams that try to do that and can't get in the playoffs. For our guys to get in is a tribute to the way they have been resilient and stayed with it. |
It's no secret the last two years we've been trying to rebuild. For our guys to get in this is a tribute to the way that they have been resilient and stayed with it. We want to move up. There's an opportunity to move up. |
It's not like he's hurting us in the low post as much as he is by when he touches [the ball], it sets off a chain of events that we've had hard time dealing with. We've got to do a better job stopping that chain of events. |
It's not only that we talk to them. The league does a good job, and the players association, of going through all that at the beginning of the year. The players have union meetings where that's discussed. |
It's possible. I have the unfortunate experience of . . . whenever I have tried it, he has burned us. He has made (the free throws). |
It's safe to say that's a lie. I wasn't even aware anybody said that. I didn't even get into it verbally with anybody during the game. |
