accustomed beat early hard playing shoulders teams trio
We really put it upon our shoulders to come out and play well. Caron had it going early and I had it going late. Those are the things that we're accustomed to. Teams know that we're the highest-scoring trio in the league. If we're playing well, it's going to be hard to beat us.
ball behind both came definitely fun love meetings next ready teams watch
Always fun to watch the two teams play. Both teams love to get up and run, put the ball in the basket. Both meetings you definitely got your money's worth. We stole one, they came out and stole one on the road, too. It's one of those things you've just got to put it behind you and get ready for the next game.
bunch conference couple decent eastern five home knew steal teams weeks winning wins
A couple of weeks ago we knew we were about to play a bunch of Eastern Conference teams and we knew that was important, but I think this is crucial. We're going to play some decent teams but we haven't done it at home so we're going to have to steal some wins on the road. For us, this is a very important stretch. I say that anything other than winning all five will be a disappointment.
against atmosphere best intensity league played playing scoring teams tough type
Defensively, we've got to make it tough on them. They're one of the best scoring teams in the league and they're playing well. We need the same type of intensity and atmosphere we had when we played against Detroit.
distance facing frame good looking mind opportunity ourselves teams
Those are teams that are looking like playoff-caliber teams, so for us, it's going to be a good test. We'll have the opportunity to distance ourselves or put ourselves in a hole. They're going to have the same mind frame facing us.
act against ask average best games league opposite past played poorly ridiculous teams
It's pretty much ridiculous to me because we had games against teams like that in past and we didn't find a way to win. If you ask me, it's the opposite way around. We play well against the best teams in the league and played poorly against the average teams. We just need to get our act together.
bargain bit came happen higher last plays road stakes sure team time trip
I think this road trip is, for me, more personal. The last time we came out West, I kind of went into a slump. So I just didn't want that to happen again. The stakes are a little bit higher this time. I just want to make sure that I keep up my end of the bargain and make sure the team plays well.
finally glad great guys order points starting takes understand
I think we are really starting to click. We are starting to understand what it takes in order for us to be successful, with everyone getting touches. They don't know who to give all their attention. You concentrate on two guys and there is still another guy who can get 20 points a night. This is a great nucleus and I'm glad it's finally starting to come together.
achilles beginning composure five focused good job keeping last minutes quarter stayed third
Our Achilles has been the beginning of the third quarter and the last five minutes of the game. But we did a good job of keeping our composure today. We stayed focused and stayed positive.
blowing box close games improve instead people three
Rebounding. The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

face good last people playoff playoffs season slap team
I think it's a slap in the face for people to say that we're not going to be a good playoff team because Larry's gone. We didn't make the playoffs last season because of one player.
hope situation type
You just hope that it doesn't come to any type of tiebreaker situation or anything like that.
energy knock rhythm shot
That was big for me. For some reason, I just couldn't get it going. To knock the shot down and go to the free-throw line, it kind of got me into a rhythm and kind of got my energy up.
