athletic beat block guys handle nba quite sure team ways whatever
I don't know what it is. For whatever reason, they find ways to beat us. They're just a very athletic team. I'm not quite sure if there's another team in the NBA as athletic as those guys. They're all 6-8 and they all block shots, they all rebound, they all get out on the break, they all handle the ball, they all make shots. You have to give those guys credit.
coming games guys road shots tough
Guys couldn't make shots and we weren't able to get into a flow. We let this one get away and it's very disappointing with two tough road games coming up.
basket expects hell lets wants work
He lets you know how he wants it done and he expects you to do it that way. If you improvise, you better get a basket or a hell of a play because if things don't work out, he's going to let you know about it.
coming game offensive trying
I feel my offensive game is coming around, and I'm trying to be more productive.
four heels minutes swayed tough
We had them on the ropes and on their heels once we got up by 12. You could tell they were a little shaken. All we had to do was play tough for another three, four minutes and things would have probably swayed our way.
barely chances concern good locker playing stagger
We feel very good about our chances of making the playoffs. I really don't think that's a concern in this locker room. It is a concern that we are playing well going into the playoffs. We don't want to stagger in and barely make it.
extend fight fourth lead nice plays quarter third together tonight win
We've had the lead at halftime, but then come the third and fourth quarter, we just get away from what has made us successful. Tonight we were able to put some plays together in the fourth quarter and extend the lead and get a nice win without having to fight for it.
backup guy label point step wants
Everyone wants to label guys, label me as a backup point guard, a guy that can't get it done. Those are the opportunities where you have to step up and make it happen.
playing
We were playing for each other. That's something we haven't done in a while.
broken
It was a broken play. When it's a broken play, you've just got to do your 1-on-1 thing.
glass great half people playing
A lot of people look at the glass as half empty. It's half full. We're playing with great intensity. We've just got to keep it going.
board dominate string
They make you play their tempo. If you don't make shots, they can dominate you. We would put up a string of baskets and you look up at the board and you're still down by 12.
fought game hard hitting kid needed played resilient shots win
This is what you think about as a kid in the backyard, hitting big shots to win big games. We're a resilient bunch. We played a hard fought game and got a much needed victory.
cost longer money road serious trash
You see the trash on the road every day, things like McDonald's bags, ... It's because of ignorance, people, near-sightedness and ignorance. It's a serious problem. It's going to cost money to solve, and it's going to cost more the longer we wait.
