last mix prepared sure thrown time
He didn't play the last time we were down here, so he was the new X-factor thrown into the mix and I'm sure they weren't prepared for that.
adjust benefit blatant figure free seven six throws touches wonders
There were a lot of blatant fouls missed, but I just have to adjust to it. The touches that I am getting are sufficient. You figure six or seven free throws does wonders for me and for the team. I feel like I am going to the hole, but it's not like I'm getting the benefit of the doubt.
bench classy code distances dress guys strictly suit sweat team wear wearing
I think that is ridiculous. Sometimes, getting on the plane, with the distances we fly, you need to be comfortable. I think there is a way to be classy and dress up. I think the dress code should strictly (enforce) what guys wear on the bench when they are not playing. That is when guys are most visible. But when we are on the plane, that is when we are most leisurely. I don't think that should matter. Wearing a sweat suit with a team logo on it? What sense does that make?
agendas aside best good hard job personal putting successful teams
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
breathe easier sleep swelling symptom treats
That's not a cure, ... That's something that treats the symptom ... I feel like I would breathe a lot easier and sleep much better if I didn't have this swelling under my eyes.
basketball both dirty elbows ends guy guys kick mind respect start throwing
I don't mind a guy going at me at both ends of the floor, I can respect that. But when guys start throwing elbows and when they kick you when you're down, that's dirty basketball and I don't respect guys like that.
last means sums tells
I'll put that in my house, ... Something like that, that sums up last season. And when I look at that 20 years from now, it tells a story and that's what means the most.
gets hit plays seems small typical
It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.
focus shooting taken three wise
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.
funky jason passes throws
Jason Kidd throws funky passes all the time. He has a lot of assists, but he also has a lot of turnovers. You've got to take some chances.
emotions lie torn weird
It was a very weird feeling, I'm not going to lie to you. My emotions were torn a little bit.
chewed difference enthusiasm game half last loss memphis muddy played tonight
The way we played in the last game (a 99-74 loss to Memphis on Wednesday), it was just a difference in attitude. We started the first half tonight with that same muddy approach. We were lethargic and really didn't have any enthusiasm and we got chewed out at the half.
eddie favor great jones seconds shot took
I just had to get a shot off. Eddie Jones is a great defender. It went in our favor because it took a lot of seconds off the clock.
building close games learning lost record track
Our track record hasn't been good. We've lost so many close games in this building this season. We're learning some things about ourselves.
