bad defensive everybody game guy held leash offensive pulls seldom taking
Have I come out of the game making a defensive mistake? Yeah. He doesn't really discriminate. Everybody is held accountable ... He seldom pulls a guy for an offensive mistake, taking a bad shot, anything like that. The leash is shorter on the defensive end.
deliver depth good guys night pressure score speaks
It speaks to the depth of our team. Guys are going to have off nights. Dirk's going to deliver more often than not, but it's good that he doesn't feel pressure every night to score 25 or 30 points.
couple final games guys happy leave resting season string teams time
It's a win, and you're happy with it and leave it at that. It makes the final couple of games of the season fun. They have something to play for, and we have something to play for. Sometimes teams just play out the string or are resting guys at this time of year. We're going to have something to chase.
continues game good grow guys happy hope proud taking time
I'm really proud of the guys for taking time out to play in this game because it's for a really good cause. I'm just really happy how it went and hope the game continues to grow each year.
chances coming everybody five guys healthy obviously ready run stretch takes
It only takes five to play, but obviously we want to get everybody back healthy and ready for the stretch run and for the playoffs. We don't want to take our chances with guys coming in and out. We've just got to with what we have. We know we have enough to get it done.
beat guys tough tried
He's tough and he had it going tonight. We just tried to make the other guys not beat us. As long as you can keep the other guys down, you should be all right.
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.
bruise brush egos everywhere people wrong
He's going to bruise some egos and brush some people the wrong way. He has everywhere he's been.
thankful time
I'm just thankful the time has come for me to be out there.
element flow game needles pins sitting starting waiting year
I like starting the game, getting into a flow early. It's like sitting on pins and needles waiting to get into the game off the bench. I've done it for a year and half. It was cool, but I feel more in my element (starting).
heartbeat knows pushes
Avery is the heartbeat of our team. He knows what we need. He pushes the right buttons.
couple taken
If I'd made a couple more shots, and Damp hadn't taken away all my rebounds, I'd have had a triple-double.
coming continue feels few gets hopefully maybe people playing shots starting
I like playing with Damp. People make a lot about him being out of the starting lineup and coming off the bench, but I think he feels comfortable playing with me because he gets a few more shots maybe than he gets in the starting lineup. So it's been working out well. Hopefully we can continue to get better.
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.
