feet gets great guys
It was a big-time shot. He's a great shooter. He's one of those guys that if he gets his feet set, you know it's going in.
defensive except explain ready team
I don't know what they shot, but we're a defensive team and should have had it on that end tonight. I really don't know how to explain it, except to say we weren't ready on that end.
corner fell good shot tried turn
First I slipped and fell down. Then I got up and tried to turn the corner but he (McGrady) bodied me up and I didn't get a very good shot off.
finish goal highest improve motivation move season seed shot
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. That is our motivation to move up. We have a shot to finish .500 for the season and improve our seeding. We have a lot to play for.
finishing games good improve job quarters starts teams
Finishing out games and finishing out teams is something we need to improve on. It starts by finishing out quarters and we did a good job of that tonight.
bother calls couple game knowing
It's something that used to really bother me in my first couple of years. But at this point, I go into every game knowing I'm not going to get any calls and just play through it. What else can you do?
energy game heads maybe played playing second tough
Something went off in our heads -- maybe we were playing not to get embarrassed. If we started the game the way we played the second half, we're going to be tough to beat. We have to come out with more energy and focus.
appreciate definitely healthy hope soon
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible.
knew
I don't know what to tell you guys. You're on your own on this one, because we all knew it was a big game. There's no excuse.
bottom court definitely gotten home point rookie
It hasn't gotten to the point where it was like my rookie year, where we were getting booed every game, but it's definitely something we have to correct. It's just something we haven't done. We have to play a lot better on the home court -- that's the bottom line.
building everybody knows series
Everybody in this building knows that the series isn't over.
became hole moving stopped
We just became stagnant. We stopped moving the ball, and the hole shrunk up on us.
dig energy full game holes ourselves playing spend stay trying
We just can't dig holes for ourselves like that. We spend all our energy trying to get back in the game. We've got to stay in the game. We're not playing a full game -- we're just playing in stretches right now.
ahead care fate team
We got an opportunity. We've just got to take care of business. If we do that, we've got a shot. We kind of have fate in our own hands, because we play the team ahead of us twice.
