Larry Brown Needed Quotations

Those are three areas we were talking about. We needed to do a good job, especially on the road. So that's disappointing.

We played pretty darn good after All-Star break. We were about .500 and we set up a culture that enabled us to be pretty good from then on. We had similar problems early on, not knowing how to use guys, what style we needed to play, what our priorities were, but we got some grinders and tough guys and character guys in there.

We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender.

We have been getting blown out in a lot of games because we have been getting so far behind. The last three we have had a chance to win which is a good sign. They needed that because they are trying.

With this win, in that locker room, they needed something positive.

I'm happy for the team that they can go home and enjoy this game and be energized. For me, I'm going to try to find ways to coach better and help these guys. I can feel better because these guys needed something positive.

I really think he's the guy who helped us stay in this game. He attacked the boards when he needed to and gave us some second chances.

If I thought we were disorganized, I would have called time. Jamal just made a great play ... I'm happy for the team they can go home and relax and be energized. In that locker room, they needed something positive to happen.
