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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
among expect point teams top western win
We're spoiled. We're at a point now where we expect to win them all. We're among the top teams in the Western Conference, if not the top team. We expect to win all the time.
matter pieces system
When you've got a system that works, it doesn't matter the pieces. But it's a lot better when you've got all the pieces working.
