few hit quite shots
Obviously, I've hit a quite a few shots in this league.
achieving continue focused goals
We're just focused on achieving our goals, and that's to continue to get better for the playoffs.
hard hopefully last road work
Last year, we had a letdown. We didn't want to work as hard as we did this season, then give it away. Now hopefully we can do what we did on the road last year.
bought gold hoping league nobody pot starting
Nobody in this league is going to tell you that they don't want to start. I've bought into it, hoping there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But do I feel I could be starting on this team? Hell, yeah.
couple games last maybe opening quite year
None, quite frankly. Maybe a couple games just to get some rhythm. But it's not important. I didn't play in the preseason last year either, and I was there on opening night.
bruce himself letting skin
Dirk wasn't himself in letting Bruce Bowen kind of get under his skin a little bit. He's better than that. We're better than that.
missed plays win
There were some botched plays and missed dunks. ... You have to win like that sometimes.
maybe suited team
You're going to find out right away that he's going to do it his way, and if not, then maybe another team is better suited for you.
games starting sustain team throws win
This is starting to become who we are. We feel that we are going to win these games and have the wherewithal to sustain anything any team throws at us.
bad last
Once we started missing, we started pressing. Just a bad night. Won't be the last one, either.
defense points win
Defense is great, but if you don't put some points on the board, you're not going to win games.
heartbeat knows pushes
Avery is the heartbeat of our team. He knows what we need. He pushes the right buttons.
attack couple drew good hit
Avery called a timeout and drew up some things for us to attack the zone. We did it a couple of times, got some good looks, and Dirk hit some big 3s.
good harder nba plays team test
That team plays hard. You're not going to find any team in the NBA that plays harder than them. It was a good test for us.
