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.
against gave hold money owe pay pretend problem
If they terminate me, I won't have a problem with that. I'll pay them the money they owe me and the money they just gave me. Just let me out clean, don't hold anything against me and let's pretend like we didn't even know each other.
beginning holding playing season teams
This is how we were playing at the beginning of the season when we were holding teams to 85 points. If we can keep playing like this, we'll be pretty good.
grudge hold hopes pain pick
That pain from the Celtics is still in my blood. When they said they'd pick me with the 10th or 11th pick, they got my hopes all high. I usually hold a grudge for that.
third toward weird win
It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.
biggest difference played whatever
I think that the biggest difference is that we played harder, for whatever reason.
helping watching
While everyone's watching on TV, they need to be helping at the same time.
dug early fighting fights-and-fighting fourth quarter stops
We dug down deep. We got stops early in the fourth quarter and from there they were just fighting to get back.
destiny fifth focus lay resting
Our focus is just like tonight. We know they are going to be resting their guys, but we can't lay down for that because we need that win. This is our destiny and we have it in our hands. So If we want to get the fifth spot, we have to go out there and play like it.
found freedom seem teams tough
It didn't seem possible, but they've found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.
breath catch few happiness happy help however past seem shock solid state
Some of them seem happy and some are still kind of in a state of shock over everything they've been through, ... I think they are just happy to be on solid ground. Get a meal. Take a shower. Just catch their breath after what they've been through the past few days. I just wanted to be here to say: 'Welcome to D.C. We're here to help you however we can.'
chip draft falling goes hurt point
That chip was falling off from the 2001 draft and now another chip goes on. You've just got to go out there and play. You can't let something like this hurt you. You know, 2001, I used that to get to this point and I'll use this to get further.
driving game hear tried
That was difficult. I just tried to play my game and go inside. It was kind of frustrating, driving in and getting hit. I didn't hear any whistle.
exposed fans missing onto picked players team voted year
I won't be picked by the fans because I'm not getting exposed like those guys. So I need to actually do work. Every year I'm going to have to come in and do my work. I'm not ever going to be one of those players who get voted onto the All-Star team after missing most of the season.
