You sign a contract and you make a decision to go over there and play, you know what you're getting yourself into. I don't wanna hear people complain about it.
afford crucial good job mistakes playoff
I thought we were right in the game. We did a pretty good job to get back into the game, and then we made some mistakes. We can't have it in playoff time. We made crucial mistakes at times when we couldn't afford it.

capable gets miles per playing typical
I think she's like a typical rookie: They want to do everything right and they want to do it 900 miles per hour. I think as she gets more comfortable with playing on the perimeter, you'll be able to see what she's capable of doing.

We talked today: Nobody in this league is undefeated and it's going to be a dogfight every night. So we can't squander opportunities.

We have an eight-man rotation and those people are going to play the minutes. If we had five games left, two left, one left. It doesn't matter.
