Chris Duhon Team Quotations

Night in and night out, you don't know which Chicago Bulls team is going to show up. The horrible team, the mediocre team or the team that's good. We have like three different faces.

This was a game that earlier in the season we probably would not have won. We have really started to mature as a team and we're starting to win games like this.

He just has a killer instinct. No matter who's guarding him and whatever team he's playing, he's going out there to prove to the world that he's the best player.

For whatever reason, a lot of guys are tentative when it comes to talking out on the court and helping one another. For us to be the defensive team that we need to be, and we're capable of becoming, it all starts with communication. That's our main thing. When we're out there, we need to constantly be talking to one another.

It felt good to make some big plays for my team down the stretch. Whatever it takes for this team to win is what I'm going to do.

We were able to execute on the offensive end. We know this team is going to (have to) overcome a lot of adversity throughout the year, and we showed that tonight.

When you see that, especially with a veteran team like that, definitely it was good for us.

We watched a lot of film, just trying to get answers and trying to figure out what causes us to play that way. We were definitely embarrassed by a mediocre team. We don't want to be a team that's great one night and terrible the next night. We have to do whatever it takes to be a consistent team.

That team my sophomore year, we thought we were too good. Last year, we didn't think we were good enough. This team knows it's good, but it's not overconfident.

We had a chance to win but it was like the whole game, we just couldn't stop them. Our offense wasn't the problem tonight. It was our defense. It's hard to explain when every game is so important, especially with a team we're trying to chase. Not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game, is really a shame.

This is about the six, seventh, eighth time this has happened. We do the dumbest things that keep us from winning. It's been the same story all year. I think we prepare harder than any team in the NBA. We go over the same things over and over, and we still make the same mistakes.

It's hard to explain, every game is important especially with a team we're trying to chase. For us not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game it's a shame. We should've been focused and executed the game plan and just gave an all-out effort, which we didn't.

It's definitely a good start to beat a team in our division that plays well at home.

We've been successful because he sees three or four people every time he penetrates. So, every time he penetrates, it's going to take a team effort to control him and keep him off the foul line.

It's going to be harder than it was last year. We were able to sneak up on people last year, with our past record and our slow start. People were surprised with how we were able to play. I think this year, I think we have the respect from everybody in the league that we're going to be a team that plays hard every night. So, we're going to have to play harder.
