bit boxed hustle stepped
We just knuckled down a little bit. Just stepped it up on D a little bit more and boxed out. Just made a little bit of hustle plays.
blocking body glad grabbing left shots
Body (Wallace) was blocking shots left and right, grabbing rebounds. The kid's a monster. I am just glad he's on my side.
figure locker recognize talking trying
Me and Chauncey were talking in the locker room. We are trying to figure out some way to recognize him.
consistent drop few good high knowing level loss losses lost
Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponents. We had that loss to Atlanta, knowing good and well we shouldn't have lost to them. Same with a few other losses this year. I tell you, if we play on our consistent high level, we'll be fine.
bandwagon cats larry last people
Some people say that without Larry we won't get back, but he wasn't the one out there playing. It's cool, though. We know we're going to be there. It's going to be a lot of bandwagon cats at the end of the year, just like it was last year.
five ourselves people starting
Some people say our starting five is like an all-star team. But we don't see ourselves like that. We see ourselves as a unit.
bit clutch few guys post presence rick
They've got a post presence now. They had a few guys who could post up before but not a clutch post guy. Now that he's back, I know that makes Rick feel a little bit better.
balls battle beat efforts extra hustle loose plays second third
They made the hustle plays - the extra battle for the loose balls and the second and third efforts on some of their shots. That's what beat us.
eight five left maybe minutes points trying
There were about five minutes left and they were down by eight points. I could see maybe trying something like that if it was a two-point or a three-point game. But why do it when you're eight points down?
forward looking matter season second
This is where we want to be, we've been looking forward to the second season all through the season. It doesn't matter who we play. We're ready.
couple excited game last playoffs regular since waiting
This is what we've been waiting for. We got up for a couple teams, but we weren't really excited about the regular season. We've been waiting for the playoffs since Game 7 last year.
forward looking
This is what we've been looking forward to all year.
deal fought gotta night
As long as we got the win. We gotta deal with that other (stuff) every night. But we fought through it and got the W.
cats guys lane memory stroll tournament
That's when guys get to trash-talk. And it's pretty much stroll down Memory Lane. You know, when cats say, 'Oh, back when I was playing, when we went to the tournament and this and that.' It's just a stroll down Memory Lane more than anything.
