The Unofficial Larry Drew Postgame Presser

[Dejay]

After much fanfare from the chatroom, it's finally here. So without further delay, we join Coach Larry Drew...

(please fill in your favorite LD liners here)....

“I don’t think that was the deciding difference. I think we were still in position, in striking distance (in the fourth quarter). … We got beat because they outworked us.”

[Bahamut]

"We just lacked energy."

[Watchman]

Did I mention that we lacked energy?

[Bahamut]

"Josh's 75-footers just weren't falling tonight."

[Watchman]

We don't know who we are. I don't know who I am. Who are you?

[Dejay]

'As I told the guys...'

'Urgency....'

'We just didn't have the energy or the mentality that was needed...'

'Uhmmmm....uhmmmm...uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...'

[macdaddy]

That's on me

[DocWilkins]

"Indiana is big and they have physicality...We are not big and don't have anough Physicality...If we don't have more Physicality than we will lose focus with our energy and then Indiana will have more Physicality in Game 2 or is it game 3?" What was the question?"

[Dejay]

'Physicality....'

'PHENOMENAL...'

And the ole standby...

'we just need to put on our clothes, we need to eat right...'

[DocWilkins]

'we just need to put on our clothes, we need to eat right...'

LMAO!!! Totally forgot about that one...

[Dnice]

More like postgame (de)presser instead.

[Dejay]

That quote has to go on the Mount Everest of postgame one-liners. I think we spent an extra hour laughing on the chatroom after hearing that one...

Between watching Osh's (no J) 28-footers cracking the backboards, Teague getting lost in space whenever the national cameras zoom in on him, LD's blank stare when another opposing team's best shooter is wide open behind the three-point line, and his pressers, where we all take sips and chugs of our favorite adult beverages whenever he drops something we heard a zillion times to the point where we can't handle heavy machinery afterwards, being a Hawks fan does have its perks...

[DocWilkins]

I was yelling at my TV to the point where one of my daughters 8 year old friend came in and said..."You know they can't hear you right??"

[AHawks89]

"Umm.."

[Dejay]

Oh yeah, back to the presser...

'we just didn't respond to the challenge of physicality and blue collar mentality they presented tonight...(sip)'

[Guest]

'Physicality....''PHENOMENAL...' And the ole standby... 'we just need to put on our clothes, we need to eat right...'

That was classic - hall of fame worthy

[Dejay]

'we need everybody to step up...uhmmm...to the challenge...uhmmmm...we just gotta respond better...'

[lethalweapon3]

"We started off real good, went up 4-0, got into a little bit of a rhythm..."

~lw3

[Dejay]

'The guys that were in there got into a rhythm so I left them in. We fell further behind, but still...'
