focused good group guys home last league remedy road separate team teams themselves veteran winning wish year
I wish I had the remedy for this. Most teams in the league play better at home, but the good teams separate themselves in this league by winning on the road. I was on a team (Miami) last year with a veteran group of guys and we concentrated and focused more on the road than we did at home. We're a young team and we've still got a lot to learn.

Elton is having an MVP-type season. He's their guy. They went to him and he delivered.
accepted carry challenge close everybody hopefully next note positive season team together
The challenge for us is to close this season out on a positive note and carry into next season. We've got a very young team and hopefully we can just keep everybody together because I think everybody has accepted their roles.
compete everybody guy offense trying west
He's a guy that you have to play big against. Everybody in the West was trying to compete with the Lakers, because they were the dynasty. But now, you see a more free-flowing offense out there.

adrenaline call knew lights love popcorn starts tired
I pretty much knew I'd be tired after the first two minutes. You can call me a prophet, because I was. But it was just fun. My adrenaline was running. Once the lights come on and the popcorn starts popping, I just love it.
beginning care deep dug hole itself job ourselves tough work
I just feel like if we do our job and take care of what we have to take care of, everything else will work itself out. We dug ourselves so deep a hole in the beginning of the season, it's going to be tough for us to get in. But nevertheless, there still is a chance.
button clicked growing guys next shot turned win
It's a long shot to think we can win the next nine. It's not like we had the button turned off all year, and we just clicked it on. But we've got young guys growing up quickly. Anything is possible.
final games next question ready thrown time treat
For us, we've got to treat these final 20-some games like they're our playoffs. We haven't thrown in the towel. You can question our execution, but not our effort. Things didn't go the way we wanted this season, but you can use this time to get ready for next year.
dominates ethic nights potential talent totally work
There are going to be nights where he just totally dominates the glass. He has the potential to do that. He has the talent to do that. He has the work ethic to do it.
call plays poise
You can call it shaky. I call it poise . . . . And the thing is, we don't know who's going to do it. Everybody's making plays down the stretch.
minutes momentum next roll
We need to take this momentum and roll it over like cell-phone minutes next season.
