ball defense good job keeping key move push teams
We do a really good job at keeping the ball moving. When we don't move the ball, teams can key in on Vince (Carter). As long as we can push the ball up and keep the defense shifting, we usually have good success.
recognized teams
We should be recognized as one of the better teams in the league.
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.
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.
good played second took
I thought we played good 'D', but at the same time, they weren't doing the things it took to be effective. We can take some credit, but they didn't play so well in the second half.
might tough
I thought they might have called some tough ones. But what can you do? You just have to keep playing.
capable league people playing shown
I think I've shown people around the league that I'm still capable of playing with these guys.
blow call capable time
I wouldn't say it's a blow to the confidence. But at the same time it should be a wake-up call for us, because if we don't go out and play the way we're capable of, this kind of thing can happen.
basically blessed held love major
I still love to play, and my body's held up well. That's basically it. I've been blessed to not have any major injuries, and I still love to compete.
behind knew
We knew it was important for us to keep them behind us.
focus guard limit main shots stop tough trying
He's a tough player. At the same time, I think we'll be able to guard him. There's no way you're going to be able to stop Jermaine O'Neal. Our main focus is making him take tough shots and trying to limit him a little bit.
feeling good guys lose
If that happens, we'll take it. We've got such a good feeling right now and guys don't want to lose it.
game good knew later sooner
We knew he was going to make adjustments. We knew he would have a good game sooner or later because you knew they were going to keep going to him.
