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.
win
We've been doing it all season. It's become who we are. We feel we can win those kind of games.
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.
missed plays win
There were some botched plays and missed dunks. ... You have to win like that sometimes.
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.
defense points win
Defense is great, but if you don't put some points on the board, you're not going to win games.
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.
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.
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.
