I think it was a lot based on the fact that everyone knew that they had to raise their game up and normally that happens when you have a player like Allen Iverson who can go score 40 or 50 points at will not playing. The players we had in today need each other. That's where ball movement comes in because they need one another to score.
More Quotes from Maurice Cheeks:
I thought Kevin played well. I think he had our offense going a little bit, but on the flip side I think sometimes you want to bring Kyle in to stretch the defense and give Allen Iverson and Chris (Webber) a little more room to operate.Maurice Cheeks
Chris and Allen didn't have great offensive games, but they were passing the ball. I thought the way we defended and rebounded the ball was big for us. I thought one of the keys for us was that we got some easy baskets.
Maurice Cheeks
He can move and come off screens. He's a different type player because he has the ability to step back from three-point range and make shots and he has the ability to drive to the basket. He's a bigger Allen (Iverson) with his ability to shoot. He shoots deeper than Allen. His ability to get to the basket is in the same form of Allen because he looks to attack, attack, attack.
Maurice Cheeks
When you have a bad season and things don't go the way you want, I think you have to look at it overall. All things are possible when you fail. As a team, we failed. We didn't accomplish what we looked to do. When those things happen you have to look and see if you make changes. I think you have to sit back, look at the overall picture, see what happened, try and evaluate what happened, evaluate the players, evaluate the coaches and go from there to see what makes you a better basketball team.
Maurice Cheeks
He catches the ball and releases it so quick. I think thats whats so impressive about him. I think if youre not around Kyle that much, and Ive been talking defense this whole camp, but any time you see a player with his ability to shoot the ball hes got to be on the floor.
Maurice Cheeks
We have to find a consistent ground, consistent way to rise above .500.

If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems.
