beat chance extra guys incentive playoffs shirts somewhere wear
Those guys had their playoffs shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that. We had extra incentive to beat them. Now, they have to wear them somewhere else.
chance definitely playoffs positive start tank
Just inconsistent. But the positive part of it all is that the season's not over. (We've) still got a chance to get into the playoffs and start a new season. For us to tank it now would be crazy. (We're) definitely not going to give up. We've got a long way to go.
beat chance character composure extra gave great guys incentive kept lead playoff shirts somewhere sustain time wear
We got things done at the right time tonight. Every time we went down we kept our composure and got back into the game. We were able to get a lead and sustain it. We showed a lot of character being that those guys (Washington) already had their playoff shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that, now they have to do it somewhere else. We had an extra incentive to beat them and that gave us a great lift. We just did everything right tonight.
basketball care playoffs
There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.
confidence forward looking matter playoffs trying
We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen. It's all a matter of confidence and we have that now. We can still make the playoffs, it's all up to us.
eighth fighting fights-and-fighting games maybe playoff settle sixth win
Honestly, we know that we're fighting for a playoff position. I just don't want to settle for the eighth spot. If we play these games out and win most of them, we can get up to the seventh, or maybe even the sixth spot.
losing playoffs rather
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
game happens opponent playoff time tough week whatever win worry
It?s going to be a tough week because it?s going to be a playoff atmosphere. It?s important for us to try to win one game at a time and just concentrate on that. Whatever opponent we have to play, just worry about those guys. And then worry about whatever happens after that.
believe confidence forward looking playing playoffs trying
We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever. We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen.
coach far players preach talent willing
I think that as far as talent, we have enough to get over the hump. We are just not doing it. You can?t coach it, you can?t preach it. It is just something that players must be willing to do.
deadline guys trade
I think a lot of it has to do with the trade deadline being over. Guys are comfortable now that they?re going to be here.
good guy mean
just because you put a guy in a tuxedo, it doesn't mean he's a good guy.
beginning blown effort feels game goes heart showing start stronger
Just getting back into the game and making it a game is all heart. It feels bad, though, because we don't give that effort in the beginning and then we start showing the heart when we're about to get blown out. You have to play like that in the beginning and get stronger as the game goes on.
fourth game last night stepped teammates tonight took
Last night they kind of took me out of the game defensively and my teammates stepped up. Tonight was just a little different. I stepped up in the fourth quarter. We just need everyone to contribute.
