bothers good might pain
It might be a good idea to get that pain (that bothers him when he cuts) to go away.
detail difference exciting game rebound single
It was a very exciting game to play and to watch. Every single detail counted. Every steal. Every rebound made a difference in this game.
beating nice team
He said it's always nice beating the team that he coached.
hard might shooter violation
I don't know. I didn't see the play. I need to see it again. But most of the time, it's a violation when the free-throw shooter comes in, right? It might have been the right call, but anyway, we got it done. We did it the hard way again.
beauty behind far winning
That's the beauty of our division. We're not so far behind and we feel that if we get on a winning streak, we'll be back in the race.
sacramento sure
I'm sure it's going to be pretty wild. Sacramento is wild, regardless. We know it.
game keeps pace
The thing about the fouls is that it slows the pace of the game and all the fouls just keeps us from running.
catch knew quite straight tough
I knew he would be all right. I didn't quite catch him with a straight knee. He's a very tough guy, though.
beat challenge coming five games matter physical playoff row
I've started many playoff games before, so it's not about me personally. I think it's just a challenge for us to beat the Clippers. They've beat us five games in a row and it's just a matter of coming out now and being more physical and being more aggressive.
almost fluid
It's better. For once, most of the fluid is almost out. But it's still stiff.
bit coming confidence next team thinking twice worried
We know this team pretty well by now. They had a lot of confidence coming into Denver, but I think now they're thinking twice about us, and they're going to be a little bit worried about the next game.
coach coaches great stay talented
We've just got to stay positive. We've just got to keep on working. We've got a great coach and we've got great coaches around us. We've got a talented team. We've just got to get it together.
last played
To tell you the truth, that's the way we played last year. We pretty much played free.
defeat finally last learn learning plays
You learn more from defeat than you do from victory. We've been through a lot the last month, and we're finally learning how to make big plays down the stretch.
