anybody beat chance concerned record teams thinking trying win
Not at all. We can only be concerned with ourselves. We are just trying to win every game. We aren't thinking about anybody else's record but our own. All you can do when you have a chance to play these teams is to beat them.
bad beat bruise deep defend fight help regardless team trying
I'm beat up. I got a deep thigh bruise and a bad ankle. I'm just trying to fight through it. That's my whole goal. Regardless of how I'm shooting, if I can do any other thing to help my team win, if that's defend or whatever, just being out there, then I'll be out there.
fun message scoring titles trying win
It's fun to win scoring titles and things like that, but it's more fun to win. That's the only message I'm trying to send.
celebrate trying
No, not at all. We didn't celebrate (anything) at all. We're just trying to get to where we want to get to, and that's the Finals.
exhibition guess seems trying
I guess we have to get used to it. In the exhibition season, it seems like they (referees) are trying to make a statement.
hit mask rubber took trying wrist
I ditched everything. Wrist band, my rubber band, my mask. Just trying to get something going. Once I took my mask off, at least I hit a shot.
deserved edge guys heat trying
It was the heat of the battle. You've got guys really trying to get an edge over the other guy. I didn't think I was going to get a ?T.' I know I fouled him, but I didn't think I deserved a technical.
clean dan maybe needed point trying
I don't think I needed to be ejected and I don't know why I was. Maybe at that point (referee Dan Crawford) was just trying to clean up the game.
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.
