We had a lot of opportunities to quit. But whenever that presented itself, we fought our way out of it. |
We had a nice lead at halftime. Then we came out casual with the ball and sloppy with everything that we tried to run in the second half. |
We had a nice rhythm going. We just started fouling. We had about 10 more field goals at the half, yet it was still a game. Usually you are running away with a game like that. It is obviously a big problem. |
We had good life from start to finish, and we played very good defense with the exception of a handful of possessions. That allowed us to get out and get our running game going, and get some good looks in transition; and we shot the ball well tonight. |
We had good performances across the board. We like the tempo of our offense, the way it's been going these three games. ... We want to push it up. Tonight, we were more fortunate with it because we were able to get more stops. |
We had our chances. We just couldn't make enough shots at the end. |
We had pretty significant breakdowns for a good portion of the game. So we were fortunate to be in the game and have a chance. We turned it up late and we got really active around the basket and got in there and defended some balls and just kind of changed the tempo that way. |
We had some great moments and we had some shaky moments. I'm certainly happy to have the win, and we had some guys that played well. Then when it got tight, we had enough big plays to hold them off. |
We had way too many breakdowns. Mental breakdowns and physical breakdowns. |
We have 31 games left and are outside looking in so every game is critical. Late in the game when we have the lead, those are games we have to get. |
We have a bunch of guys who basically have to decide if they want to be sort of the typical NBA player, which nowadays is more of an excuse-maker and a blamer and has his agent telling him how great he is. There's not a lot of realism in that. Or, do you want to fight and scrap and claw for wins? I'm confident that our guys will eventually get that message. |
We have a play that we run there where we to try to get Ben on a run around but it didn't develop. Snow (was) pretty much covering it real good there and we couldn't get off of him to get Ben free. |
We have had a sort of constant struggle to embrace what being a professional player for the Chicago Bulls means. |
We have had games like that where we haven't been sharp. I was hopeful that we were going to come out and play well. We pretty much got dominated all over the place. |
We have had several of those so far. We cannot have that. We are not good enough to play like that and win. We have to play inspired ball all the time, or this will happen to us. |
