Charlie's rebound put-back was big. And to have eight assists with only one turnover was good. And Charlie has been good defensively all year.
Charlie did a terrific job of guarding Carmelo. He took charge in the first half and when you throw his offensive line on top of that, he was terrific.
It was a performance that we needed. Defensively, that was one of our better games. Our defense contributed to our offense and a lot of times it's the other way around. You like to have a game like that this time of the year.
The starting lineup has been solid. Some nights they get off to good starts, some nights they don't. If you do make a change in the starting lineup, it kind of singles out a guy. I think we're close to having a lot more wins than we have and I don't think changing the starting lineup does anything.
I've been impressed by how hard he's worked,
They are a good defensive team. That probably had something to do with it. But we played a little too much off the dribble. Certainly, we missed some shots that we could have had. The eight turnovers really puts you behind the 8-ball.
And we were a dominant team in the league.
During a game, having players wear a sport coat is reasonable,
Our defense got us over the hump. It was one of those games. Boston did a nice job defensively and both teams struggled to score. We stayed with our defense and fought through.
Everybody knew that our division was going to be tough.
I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game. In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster.
Beating Dallas, as good a team as they are, is nice,
Washington has won a lot of games with Arenas at the end. For T.J. to get that steal was just a huge play.
There's no limitations at all. I know there's a lot of concern and interest, but from our perspective, he's 100 percent been cleared. He's ready to go and he's quick as ever.
