Charlie Bell Ball Quotations

The biggest threat to McDonald's lies within - and that is us as a company becoming complacent. There are a lot of companies that get fat, dumb and happy and take their eye off the ball and forget about serving customers.

I think every time we've played them when they turn on the pressure, we get loose with the ball and make a couple turnovers and they get a run going. We've got to limit turnovers, especially going to Detroit. Their crowd is going to be probably the loudest it's ever been all season and we've got to be prepared for that.

At halftime we stressed ball control and getting physical.

They had a lot of speed, and they ran the ball well, ... They ran the ball mostly to the outside. That'll be our challenge, to stop their outside running.

We tried to push the tempo a little bit more in the third and T.J. did a great job pushing the ball up the court. I knew if I could get open with his penetration, (Portland) would collapse and he would kick out to me. Then it's just up to me to hit the shots and that's what I did.

We tried to push the tempo a little bit more. T.J. did a great job pushing the ball up the court and I just tried to get open. It's big when someone else steps up (instead of Michael Redd).
