basketball dominate game individual order says
I think it says a lot about the league, that you don't have to come out and try to dominate the basketball and dominate the game in order to have individual success.
character choose guys hurting locker says taken time whatever
I think it says a lot about the character of the guys in this locker room. We have had guys who have been hurting a little bit, who could have taken some time off. But they choose to come out and give us whatever they've got. That's all we ask.
game pride win
It didn't matter, they were still going to lose. As long as we win the game, I am good. I don't have so much pride that I can't see the big picture.
dedicated group guys says winning
I think that says a lot about the guys here; being dedicated to winning. And it says a lot about the organization being dedicated to winning and what they have to do to keep this group together.
ask character everybody guys hat minutes says tip whether
It says a lot about the character of the guys in this room. All we ask of everybody is to give what you have every night. Just show up and give what you got, whether it's 20 minutes or 30 minutes. These guys do that and I tip my hat to them.
ask character everybody says
It says a lot about the character of the guys. All we ask of everybody is to give what you have every night.

Again, it was funny how many problems Shaq had against 68
minutes played ready
It's not about how many minutes we played. It's about being ready to play the way we've played all season.
deal situation tough unless
It's different for everybody. Everybody's just different. It's just a tough situation to deal with. You don't want to play unless you're ready.
energy guys maybe night offense quality run type
It's big, especially in back-to-back, because we're going to need those guys to come (tonight) night to be ready. I think (Wednesday) was a little tune-up for them out there. Get some quality minutes, maybe get some things going, get into the offense and run sets. We're going to need that same type of energy (tonight).
early easy leading stops talked
It was mentioned. We talked about it, getting back to what we were doing early in the season, when we were getting stops and it was leading to easy baskets.
everybody minute possibly
It's not a problem. Everybody here is healthy. Everybody here is energized and we want to play every minute we can possibly play. It's not a problem. This is what we do.
everybody hurt ready
Everybody is hurt and disappointed right now. But everybody is going to come back ready to play.
advantage playoffs road successful teams
We'll use the home-court advantage if we have to. But I think the teams that are going to be successful in these playoffs are going to be the teams that go on the road and win.
