encourage game goes intensity involved next pick playoffs three
It's very important that we make it to the playoffs and that we pick our game up in these next 19 games. The intensity goes up and we've got to pick it up. It is new (to many of the Bucks). You just try to encourage them and tell them what's going on. I've been involved in the playoffs three times and it's a challenge.
approach biggest effort game high pick
I think you have to. You have to approach it with a sense of urgency, more than ever. This is the biggest game of our season, so we have to come really enthusiastic and pick up our intensity. Give it your all. That's all we want to see happen, that the effort is at a high level.
feeling finding force great holding job pick plays team trying
I was just feeling my way. I was just playing; not trying to force nothing. I know they were kind of holding me a bit, so I had to pick my spots. My team did a great job of finding me. Really, there were no plays being called. We were just playing.
against came certain guys last obviously picked pieces pool talent team ya year
Obviously our talent pool has picked up from a year ago. We got more talent this year. Nothing against last year's team but ya know certain guys came to the team and now we got the pieces where we can make a run.
coming living teams
We've made a living on coming back on teams this season, so I'm thinking, 'Here we go again.

Our team did a great job of hanging around until the last minute so when we had to make a 3, we'd be in the game still,
creativity gets identity open push takes
Our whole identity is to push the basketball, and that's what he does best. Once he gets in the open court, his creativity takes over, and we're better off by doing that.
ahead best definitely doubt nba nobody prepared since task team tough
It discourages me because nobody has done it since then. We definitely have a tough task ahead of us. No doubt about that. Detroit, in my opinion, is the best team in the NBA going into the playoffs. So we have to be prepared on all cylinders. All cylinders.
bit playoffs sick thinking totally
I'm sick to my stomach. That's all I can say now. I'm not a bit happy. I know we're in the playoffs but I want more than that, man. I shouldn't be thinking like this, but I'm totally frustrated, totally frustrated.
fast felt happen run starting throughout tonight
Starting out fast was key. That was big. We really didn't let them have a run throughout the game. Tonight felt really good. It showed what can happen when we start out fast.
confidence high performance shooting standards
My shooting performance was not so good, but my confidence is still there. I have high standards for myself.
foul game plan
That was the game plan - to foul Garnett. We just didn't do it.
flaws hot knew offensive run
We knew that we had to get out and run tonight. But I don't know of any flaws that we had in our offensive game. Everyone got hot tonight.
