We've been doing a lot of shooting, and I think that's starting to pay off. Guys are starting to understand. Most of the shooting we do are in places where we plan to get shots in our offense, so the more you do that, the more you take those shots, the more comfortable they get, and I think that's what's happened.
More Quotes from Flip Saunders:
We have the ability to get by without him, but he's going to want to play. That's how he is. I don't anticipate anything holding him back from playing, and playing a lot of minutes.Flip Saunders
Even when I got fired, I thought I could be part of the solution. I wasn't the problem. People make decisions, and like my dad said, 'Things always work out for a reason.' You never know why it happens, but things always work out for the best.

The defense turned it up, no question. Offensively, we turned things up. ... It was at both ends. That's why this has been a championship team. It was a fun game to watch. I'm sure the people at TNT got their money's worth.
