Their team set the tone from the jump ball and we weren't able to recover
The Hawks would have a chance with Al Horford healthy ... But you look at the frontcourt, you look at the depth that the Bulls have and compare it to Atlanta or Boston. It’s no comparison. The Celtics start Kevin Garnett and (Brandon) Bass, and they have (Greg) Stiemsma on the bench. The Hawks have the rookie (Ivan Johnson) and Josh Smith? Maybe Zaza (Pachulia), if he is healthy? It is no comparison, and big guys win for you in the playoffs.
I realized that I'm not nearly where I need to be or want to be -- not even to give the team anything ... That's when we kind of decided that it was best for me to take some time off, keep working, see how I progress. But we are just not where we need to be yet.More quotes »
