bad chance good win
We don't have a good chance (to make the playoffs), it's a bad chance. But we have a chance, which is good. We have to win a lot of games, but we still feel like we can do it.
offense playing putting rebounds rushing seconds
I think we just started rushing at the end and putting up a lot of jumpers. They were getting rebounds and playing 24 seconds of offense each possession.
defense fast playing stopping
I think we just started playing defense the way we should play it. We just started stopping them on the fast break.
good job orlando seattle team though tough
I think we did a pretty good job as a team tonight. Especially after those kind of tough nights, the Seattle (loss on Sunday) and the Orlando game, even though we got a 'W,' it was frustrating in the end.
effort establish everybody good helping job lead second williams
I think everybody did a good job helping each other out in the first half, not only Carlos, Mehmet, and myself. I would say that (rookie Deron Williams ) and Kris Humphries were also very helpful. It was a good effort all-around and we were able to establish a comfortable lead for the second half.
game matter start
We just have to start winning. Every game is important. We still have chances. We're still in the race. Win, no matter how. That is all there is to it.
everybody good ready win yesterday
We had a day off yesterday and I think everybody had a good day off and was ready for the game. For the most part I'm excited, especially to win the game.
ball beat denver fast forced forget push run worked
We started to push the ball and beat Denver at their game. They like to run a lot and sometimes they forget about defense. So we kind of forced them to get back with fast attack. I think it worked well.
fourth game opportunity quarter tremendous
We had an opportunity to keep (the lead), but Dirk had a tremendous game and in the fourth quarter he just killed us.
couple games moving previous stayed terrific tonight
We stayed with our game. A couple of the previous games we were terrible, but tonight we did a terrific job. We were happy, we were moving and rolling.
fourth free game line throw
From the line I was concentrating. I was a machine. I like scoring, especially from the free throw line, especially in the fourth quarter, especially with the game on the line.
good orlando point
He's great. Orlando has got a good point guard.
four
Four more games. We still have a chance, so let's fight.
game heads keeping
This was very important for us. We're still alive. We are keeping our heads in the game and in the race.
