jump open shot taking
I was just getting some open shots. I was just taking the jump shot when I had it.
chance game win
It hurts. You play this game for a reason: to get to the playoffs, and give yourself a chance to win a championship. If you're out of the playoffs, you can't win a championship.
gotta home winning
It's tough, but we've gotta go home and live with it. That's part of the business. It's getting tougher, it's getting steeper. But if we go on a winning streak, we're there.
means playing
He was playing a little more aggressive. If that means a chip, I guess.
expect kinds
You can't expect those kinds of things to happen. I was kind of stunned.
care home huge road seems win winning
This was a huge win and we've got to keep it going. It seems like we're winning on the road and we have to take care of our home court.
beginning good spot team tough watch
We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.
basketball coach crunch execute fighting good lead playoff says stop
We're fighting for a playoff spot. Coach Sloan says that playoff basketball is crunch time. We need to run a play, execute and get a good shot. It's frustrating to fight the whole game, have a lead and then all of a sudden, we stop doing what we did to get there.
good maybe sacramento streak winning won
We're still alive, we've won two in a row. You never know what happens. We could go on a good winning streak now. Maybe L.A. loses, maybe Sacramento loses, you never know.
ball biggest luckily lucky man mistakes rather shot stay supposed
We were supposed to stay with our man, but luckily he (Howard) shot the ball after the shot clock. We'd rather be lucky than not, (but) that was a letdown. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got a win.
good knew missed
When I let it go, I knew it wasn't in. I was kind of surprised. I had a good look. I just missed it.
