defense key later sooner teams wins
Defense to me, that wins games. You can outscore teams some nights, but sooner or later you have to get some stops. To me that's always been the key to winning.
age-and-aging happy matter
Thirty-nine, 49, it really doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter about the age. I'm just happy to get out there on the floor.
body continue holding love matter playing
Thirty-nine, 49, it really doesn't matter. I'm going to play as long as my body is holding up, as long as I continue to love playing basketball. It really doesn't matter about the age.
control frustrates
What we do is go out there and play hard. If that frustrates him, I have no control over that.
ball beating capable defensive enforce focus instead matter playing share style
We know we're capable of beating them. It's a matter of us playing our style of basketball. And they're kind of similar. They focus on the defensive end and share the ball a lot. It's up to us to enforce our will on them, instead of them doing it to us.
feeling group guys lose lucky
It's rare, but we're lucky to have a group that doesn't take anything for granted. And guys don't want to lose that feeling we nave now.
expect few playing
It's an honor, but playing as long as I've played, one would expect to do a few things.
ahead anytime everybody game opportunity playing shot wants win
Everybody wants that shot. I've been playing for a long time. Anytime I get an opportunity to take a shot to put us ahead or to win the game everybody wants to be in that position.
couple few free hustle offensive plays rebound throw
They made a couple more hustle plays than we did. That offensive rebound off the free throw was really big. But we still had opportunities after that. They just made a few more plays.
good improve lab lets obviously played teams trip
They're obviously disappointing losses. We played some good teams on this trip and, to me, it just lets us know where we need to go. We didn't play them as well as we would like. We have to get back in the lab and try to improve on some things.
build recognized says teams
It says we should be recognized as one of the better teams in the league. We still have to build on what we're doing. But it says we're one of the better teams in the NBA.
against forward playing
I look forward to playing against all those big boys.
best definitely home knock record
It definitely was a big win, because they're contesting for the best record in the league. For us to come in here and knock them off on their home floor, it's a big win.
beat
When they beat us, they beat us pretty handily. So for us to go in there and try and get one on their floor, it's going to be important for us to do that.
