mix
He comes at you on every possession. You've got to mix it up on him.
forced great passing pressured worried
I thought we were great defensively. We pressured the ball, got in passing lanes, forced everything baseline. That's what we wanted to do tonight. We weren't worried about our offense. We wanted to come out and try to make a statement.
couple likes past understand
I don't know why he likes it, just because of the past couple of years I don't know why he likes it. I don't understand that comment.
fool fools-and-foolishness foot losses team
If we've got a team down, we've got to keep them down. We can't play with them, we can't fool with them. All our losses probably this year, we had a team down 15 or 16 points. So when we've got them down, we've got to keep a foot on the pedal.
found somebody talk understand
I don't even know what to say about it. I really don't. I just found out. Hopefully, I can talk to somebody - $15,000? I mean, I don't understand that one.
blocked energy fed five shots
His energy was off the hook, ... He rebounded. He had five blocked shots in the first quarter. We just fed off that.
season win
That's our only goal. If we don't win it all, then our season isn't a success.
bunch guys hard metal pedal played win
They played hard and they didn't quit. They have a bunch of young guys that played with a lot of energy. At times, we didn't put the pedal to the metal when we should have, but the only thing that we look at is getting the win at the end of the night.
forward last looking playoffs since
We've been looking forward to the playoffs since the end of last season.
guard open ran running shot top tough
We ran a pick-and-roll off the top and I am running the baseline and I just got an open shot and I just shot it. That play is really tough to guard if you don't know what's coming.
kept key needed stops stuck
We just stuck with it. We kept playing, and then we made the key stops we needed down the stretch.
gas great job
We just wanted to put on the gas when we got a lead. We did a great job with that.
satisfied
We just never like to be satisfied being satisfied. Every game, we've got to play hungry.
happen hot knew last lead time
We knew last time (here) we had a 10-point lead (in the fourth) and D-Wade got hot and we didn't want that to happen again.
