We have too many breakdowns. I think that we have to go back to the one, two, three of defense rotations, and getting guys in different positions. The only way that you can win games if you are relying on your offense night in and night out, is you have to outscore teams. We're not going to outscore teams, so our defense has to go back to the fundamentals of teaching positions.
More Quotes from Maurice Cheeks:
Kyles in better shape than a lot of these guys here and thats what I pointed out to them. A guy who doesnt have to be here and is here, and in better shape than some of the other players, is a credit to him. I think some of those guys have to look at him and see a player whos here who doesnt have to be here and in the shape that hes in now.Maurice Cheeks
First of all, New Jersey is a very good basketball team. We're working our way back. We started out good and they started making some shots. Vince (Carter) made some shots and our defense still has to get better.

He was going to play no matter what. If it was broke he was going to play anyway. He'd get it taped up and go out there. It may have been a factor on his foul shots.

We're in that phase. It's been 50 games. We should have some consistency by now. But we're not there. We just haven't put it together. That's why we have the record we have.
Maurice Cheeks
We need one. We're entitled to one, I think. We've been going down to the wire a lot of games. Sometimes it feels good for the players and myself to play a game where you don't have to worry about somebody getting an offensive rebound or making a last-second shot to win a basketball game. For us, we needed that.
