best cylinders good hit sign
We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet.
best games
All of these games are important. We have to take each one individually and go out and give our best effort.
best conference great league team western
It's great to say we're the best team in the Western Conference at the All-Star break. What we'd really like to say is we're the best team in the Western Conference at the end of the season, and the best team in the league in June.
advantage best close game last playoffs shoot throughout within year
It's a game within the game. We don't want to be close and all of the sudden, play as well as we did last year and end up with the No. 4 seed. So why not try to shoot for the best and have the advantage throughout the playoffs if you can?
best center focus nba team
He's the best center in the NBA on one end now. The team has to focus on him more than any center in the NBA, even Shaq.
capable defensive identity mark offensive question team winning
Our identity as an offensive team is set. As a defensive team, we're still a question mark to the masses. But we know we're capable of winning that way.
road satisfied series somewhere team tying
We can't be satisfied with just tying up the series with this win. We're going to probably see this team somewhere down the road in the playoffs.
create energy expect force good guys happen job quite step talented veteran wants younger
Our veteran guys have to step up. Our younger guys, we can't expect them to be there yet. As talented and as good as they are, we can't expect them to create their energy and their enthusiasm. Sometimes you've got to force it out of them and I think that's what Avery wants to see happen and that's what we've just got to do. Quite frankly, we haven't been doing as good a job as we need to be.
bad focus maybe teams
Maybe teams do focus on us a little more. But we just didn't play well offensively. It was just a bad night.
win
We've been doing it all season. It's become who we are. We feel we can win those kind of games.
improving stronger
The only thing we need to be working on right now is getting stronger and improving our seeding for the playoffs.
heels knocked totally
We were just not in the game. We were totally knocked on our heels in the first half.
depend guys team
We don't have to depend on Dirk in every game. We have guys on this team who can do a lot of things.
coast deal extra overnight staying traveling west
We don't have to deal with staying on the West Coast for an extra day or traveling overnight to get home. That's big for us, I think.
