Right now, that's what we're playing for. We're not worried about who they put in front of us or who we've got to play this week or next week. We're just trying to win every game we possibly can.
capable continue panic playing regardless scoring situation
That's how we've been playing all year. We're not going to panic regardless of what the situation is. We're just going to go out there, execute, continue to try and get stops. We know if we get stops, we're capable of scoring the ball.

Nah. Our goal is still the same, regardless of where we're playing or who we're playing against. It's still the same.

I enjoy being here. I enjoy these guys that I'm playing with. I owe everything to these guys here not talking about this, not making a big buzz about me being a free agent. We just go out there every night, and (I) do whatever I can do to help this team win.
knowing last matter ourselves playing season situation trying
Same way we've been doing it all season ? just going out and playing with a lot of energy, knowing that it really doesn't matter who we're playing against. We're just trying to go out and win every game, just to put ourselves in a better situation than we were in last year.

This is one of those situations where if you don't react the way you react, there's no telling what might have happened. Years from now you'll still be kicking yourself in the butt because you didn't react.

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.
detroit dominate game passion
The thing that he didn't show in Detroit was the passion for the game to want to go out there and want to dominate the game.

Knowing Tony, I know he wouldn't go in the stands for no reason. You've got to protect your family.
