There are talented players over there, but from what I read, (McMillan) is still dealing with players showing up late. Those are things that are very difficult to deal with. I'm an outsider, but I think he has done a good job of it. |
There is no question we have been fouling too much. We have silly fouls, but then I see the other team fouling like that and not being called. (Anthony) shot 21 free throws. He almost doubled our whole team. |
There was a lot of out-of-position fouling. If we don't let them go to the line that much, we probably get the win. We had a lot of trouble (defensively). The last three games, we haven't, but tonight we did it again. We didn't move our feet and play proper position defense. |
There wasn't much of anything that was called for us out there tonight. They literally complain about every call the whole game long. That's their style. That's what they do. They've had a great year doing it. I don't know what that says. |
There were times when he'd [mentally] take himself out of a game by almost trying too hard. He doesn't get rattled by one or two mistakes [anymore], because he knows he belongs out there. He's also improved his outside shooting, which hopefully shows what you can accomplish by working hard over the summer. |
These guys can go home with a good game under their belts. I think that is important, that we gain a little momentum coming out of the break. |
They commit the fewest fouls in the league. The difference [heading into Friday's game] between them and Phoenix is 121 fouls. Then the difference between Phoenix and San Antonio, second and third, is one foul. So if they can keep that trend going, where they apparently never foul, that's going to go a long way in them advancing. |
They complain an awful lot. |
They didn't play like they did in Miami. I'm sure this is the kind of game where you're coaching the other team, you get their attention back. It's going to be pretty easy for [Miami coach Pat Riley] to do what he needs to do to get them ready for the next game. |
They do a lot of the same things. They're both from the Ben Wallace mold where you can have an effect on a game without having to contribute a lot offensively. |
They earned the right to play however they wanted to play, based on what's best for their franchise. We had to do what was best for us. We're glad we're in. |
They had an overtime game last night and we sitting here waiting for them. We played pretty well, but we didn't get Philly's best shot. We will see that next week when we play them again. |
They just dominated us all over the floor, and then probably the most disappointing thing -- I thought in the third quarter, we quit. That's something I have to address. ... We were in the game a little bit early on, but they had way more energy than us. They went by our guards at will. |
They literally complain about every call all night long. They are having a great year doing it. I'm not sure what that says. |
