geared good playing race san talk toward worry
We would like to think that everything we're doing now is geared toward the playoffs. We know we're better than how we've been playing lately. It's been good to talk about the race with San Antonio, but we have to worry about getting back on track.
basketball bit good longer played playing seem stretch
We've been here a long time. We seem to tighten things up on the road. We've been experiencing a little bit of a lull. But we played good basketball for a lot longer stretch than we've been playing not-so-good basketball.
capable defense flow games good indicative playing second winning
We know we're capable of playing good defense and actually winning games with our defense. I think Game 1 was indicative of that and (in) Game 2, we were able to get in a good flow offensively, as well as put good defense on them in the second half.
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.
ball game goes playing shaking
The game ball goes to those guys. If they keep playing like that ... all I can do is keep shaking my head.
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.
