enjoying feeling games happy playing season since six together
We are enjoying playing together again. We haven't had this feeling since the first six games of the season where we are actually going out there happy to play.
We said 'what's up' to each other. It's all good.
against hand limit win
We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That's why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he's going to have a triple-double, they are going to win the game. We have to limit what he does to win this series.
fighting
We're not in yet. We are still fighting to get in, every night.
feet hit people somebody
We just have to live with it. He was 28 feet away and he hit it with somebody in his face. There aren't very many people who can hit that shot.
five january
We have five winnable games. They're not going to be easy. We've got to go out there and play. January will tell what we're about, what we're made of. We just need to do some soul-searching and come in with some heart.
coach devote forget four life linger media rather rest sit squeeze time whatever
We have this job, most players, four years. If you're lucky, you can squeeze out a 10-year career. After that, you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want. I'd rather devote my time when I have it, and after I'm done with this, there are other things in life and I can forget about basketball. Once I'm done, I don't want to sit around here and linger around and coach or try to get into the media stuff. When I'm done with the NBA, I just want to be done with it.
blew contract dreams face future game happened hopes last rip signed three year
When I first signed my deal, they said if I made the All-Star Game in the first three years, we could rip up this contract and sign a new one. Well, I made it last year and they blew me off, and nothing has happened this year either. All I want is to get my face out there. If I'm the last person on the totem pole, just tell me I'm not in your future -- don't keep my hopes and dreams up.
elite mind playing work
You know, it happens. I'm playing like an All Star, and I know I'm one of the elite players, so if I don't get picked, in my mind I'm still one of them. If I don't go, then I get to work out.
aggressive attitude came good playing
We came out (up) 19-9, playing good defense, getting rebounds. We wanted to have an aggressive attitude from the jump.
broke call came easy fought free game gary hit line night throw within zone
We fought hard. It came down to another night with a call at the end of the game that broke our back. At the end, we went to a zone and Gary hit that three. He hit it and got the game within reach. From then on they got to the free throw line and got some easy baskets.
concerned played pull road
We played well tonight. We just didn't pull it off. But we're not really concerned about what we're doing on the road right now.
control felt free games played win
We played well tonight. We felt we had it in control at the end, and we just had to make some free throws. It was very important to get this win. With about 24 games left, we need every win we can get.
couple games last missed mix parts playing together
We have more interchangeable parts than we did last year. We just have to get all of these interchangeable parts playing together and cooperating with each other. I've been out for a while. Caron missed a couple of games, Antonio missed some games as well as Jarvis, so we just have to get everyone back in the mix and we'll be fine.
