everybody hard mistakes practice wants
We know that we're better than that. We play hard and everybody wants it so bad, our players, coaches, and everybody. We try hard in practice and everything, but it just comes out the same. The same mistakes we always make.
court excited guard steve tired
I'm so excited that I don't even think about being tired. I mean, you get on the court and you're like, 'OK, I have to guard Steve Nash tonight.' How can you be tired going into that?
effort happen hard heads high injuries stick trying work
We keep having unfortunate things happen to us with injuries and everything, but we're just trying to stick with it and keep our heads high and play as hard as we can. We don't have a lot to work with, so effort is going to have a lot to do with us winning. We have to play as hard as we can so we can get some wins.
bad game missed plays turned
We made bad plays down the stretch, missed some plays that could have turned the game around.
ball benefit double doubling tried
When they didn't double him, we tried to get the ball to him as much as we could. We try to get him the ball anyway, but it was a benefit when they're not doubling him.
anybody
We don't have the firepower to outscore anybody right now.
beat best good intensity played playing plays
We're playing with more intensity and we're playing harder. If we keep doing that, we're going to beat most teams. If Yao plays the way he played tonight, and if we could get everyone to play with him to the best of their ability, then I think we could be a really good team.
couple front great lost played plays slow trying
We just lost our intensity. The whole game, we played great defense, trying to slow them down and keep them in front of me. We just slipped up on a couple of plays at the end.
bother defense excuse fourth front good happened intensity job keeping lost
We just lost our intensity in the fourth quarter. It was our fault, no excuses. We can't let the little things bother us, and that's what happened tonight. We did a good job of keeping them in front of us the first half, but we just didn't play good enough defense in the fourth quarter.
shots tracy
On this team, we're used to having Tracy and Yao there to make shots at the end. We're here for a reason, we're here because we know how to make shots. It's all about doing it when it comes down to it.
guard saw
They saw that I couldn't guard down low, and they were scoring.
bring coach confidence trying
Coach has had the confidence to put me in. I'm trying to go out and bring some energy.
confidence giving heard kept knock shooting telling tried
They had confidence in me shooting the ball. They kept giving me the ball, and I heard them telling me, 'Just shoot it.' I just tried to knock them down.
bad call luck
When I want to make, I miss, and when I want to miss, that happens. You can call that luck or bad luck.
