destiny games hold however path
We can't look at it like we are however many games ahead, we've been down that path before. We hold our own destiny from here on out.
dog fight games home soak
We know that. That's why we have to soak up all these home games while we can and then we just have to have a dog fight out on the road.
battles close games guys panic pull takes team veteran
We have veteran guys, guys who have been through the battles and know what it takes to pull out close games like this, ... It's not like we're going to panic when we get in those situations. We're not a young team anymore.
battle chance eastern five hopefully percent playing rest seal spot talent team time tomorrow until worst
We are not playing tomorrow so I'll have a chance to rest it and hopefully I can get back to about 80 percent before we play Philadelphia. Until we seal up that five spot (in the Eastern Conference), there will be no rest. I just have to keep going full-throttle until we get that five seed. We're getting banged up at the worst time and it's going to be a battle the rest of the way, but we have enough talent on this team to keep winning.
ball playing solid turning
We're not turning the ball over now and we're playing solid defense.

We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards on us, ... As guards, we're going to have to do a better job of boxing our man out and then getting back there and helping out. That's how we can get out running and get into our offense.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It's about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.

We're getting banged up at the worst time.

We're battling. It's going to be like this the rest of the way. It's going to be hard to tell whose 4,5,6, or 7 -- you just have to keep going.

When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.
absolutely crucial means miss sudden trouble
We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don't have him, it means you have to adjust. We're having trouble adjusting.
rookie
He's going to be an All-Star quickly. He's my rookie of the year.

Well, you didn't make it. There were people here before you. We're just passing through like everybody else. You might as well have fun with everyone you can - media, fans - and they'll love you back.
