chris deal next sign stupid summer
It was our option, and we exercised it, so he's set for next year. But I don't think it would be a stupid thing to go to him this summer and say, 'look, let's sign a five- or six-year deal and keep you here for a while,' and when Chris Paul's is up, do the same thing.
good plate
It wasn't a good break. He's got to get a plate in there and everything.
fighting fights-and-fighting gotten intensity level message teams tougher
The intensity level is getting tougher because teams are fighting for the playoffs. And we haven't gotten that message yet.

You can't give them open looks. And if you do, they are going to burn you.

All we can do is control our destiny and try to win games. If they win then you've got to take your hat off to them. We can give ourselves an opportunity by winning games. That's all we can do.

The door is still open for us. Us getting into the playoffs is a matter of us taking care of business and getting a little help.

I think it's cool. I think it's just a way of showing Oklahoma City how much we appreciate them for all they've done for us this season.

I thought we were soft. Soft on defense. Soft on the boards. That tells me we're scared.

I thought (Bass) was going to go up there and at least make one. I thought he played really well tonight. There's a lot of things he still has to learn, but his energy and his effort were big for us.
city feeling forward looking losing orleans people sure together trying worry
I think you've always got to worry about that. I'm sure the people in New Orleans are feeling that we're losing our team, so to speak. Like we keep saying, we're just trying to make sure that everything here is going well. When the city is back together and ready, we're looking forward to going back there and playing.
atmosphere boost college crowd energy feed front guys tremendous type
I think the energy in the crowd has been a tremendous boost to our team. We've got a lot of young guys and they feed off that type of energy. When you have a college atmosphere and you have a young team, this is what they like to play in front of.
five good job last played six
We played a lot better than we have in the last five or six games. The one thing that I wanted us to do was compete, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
guys starting step
I think they are starting to get it a little bit. We have guys who are starting to step up right now.
