| Saturday, November 1, 2008 Final Score: New Orleans 104, Cleveland 92 Hornets Post Game Quotes
On the game: “It’s always good to be back home, whether after one game on the road or five games on the road. It was nice to win the two games that we won on the road against two very good basketball teams and then be able to come home and have our opening night with a victory against a very good team makes it that much better. It was great to be home.”
On James: “He is a great player, and knowing that he will figure out our defense. He had 13 assists tonight.” On the team: “Our team does the best job being behind us, and letting us know where our help was at. We were able to be aggressive. We also did a great job trapping. We made some mistakes but for the most part of effort was good. We were on our defensive schemes.”
On team chemistry: “We are a team, coach did a good job in preseason mixing it up, not just the first five playing together. Our team is really on a mission, no matter who coach puts out there we got to play together”. Cavaliers Post Game Quotes
On how the Cavaliers played: “New Orleans is a very good team, but we had way too many turnovers, 18 turnovers which led to 26 points. We’ve played two very good teams in a row, and in both games we had turnovers in the high teens. In order to become a better club, we’re going to have to do a better job taking care of the basketball. “When you play New Orleans, which is one of the better teams in the league, and you make turnovers and give Chris Paul a chance to create some easy shots, it’s going to really boost their confidence and make it a tough night.
On the game: “A good game. You always prefer to come out the winner, but their leaders stepped up. Chris Paul took control of the game, and when you’re on the road and you get good teams down, especially good teams like this, you can’t let them back up. But that’s what they did, so we just have to get ready for Monday.”
On the game: “It was tough… My jumper was off… it was kind of a little bit crazy… We’ve got to stop those turnovers.” |
