concentration control either game lose needed quarter respond slip third
We needed to take it to them in the third quarter and not lose our concentration. I wasn't going to let them let it go. Either we respond and take control of the game or (the Nuggets) were going to do it. I just didn't want to let it slip away.
both concentration ends wanders
We get these lulls where we our concentration wanders at both ends of the court.
came concentration felt few good great maintain ourselves played position pull stops today
We had a great trip. We played consistently, and then came out today and played very well offensively. I just felt that if we could make a few stops and maintain our concentration we could pull away. We have put ourselves in pretty good position going home.
concentration five lack minds six trying
There were about five or six opportunities they got just from a lack of concentration on our part. We just have to keep our minds on what we're trying to do defensively. We didn't do that.
guys last missed open played seven shots ton
I thought out guys played hard. We missed ton of shots in the last seven minutes, open shots.
looked matter message possible send
I think the Spurs are going to play the same no matter who's out there. When I looked at the tape, I thought it's possible they'll send a message and (upgrade) it to a flagrant foul, but I had no idea they would suspend him.
last liked night saw shoot shot
I saw Brent shoot that shot so many times last night, I can't tell you. And I always liked Brent before.
game guys win
Our guys did everything but win the game.
hands helping nice seeing teammates
We're challenging shots, getting hands on passes, helping teammates and seeing what the other team is doing. It's nice to see the activity.
chance stops
We executed offensively, and we got the stops we needed. Now we have a chance to even it up on Sunday.
attack court dangerous second spread stop
We couldn't stop them in the second half. Once they got going that's who they are. They spread the court and attack you. They are a dangerous team.
double guys played playing seven
We played seven and all seven had double figures. We've been playing better and better offensively. We're getting more used to each other and our young guys are playing better.
finish realize
We had a lot of chances, but we just didn't finish. You've got to finish strong, and we just didn't do it. We were right there again, and we have to realize we have to finish. You've got to keep playing.
aggressive coming kevin practice shots taking
Kevin is coming out aggressive and taking the shots that are there. We see it every day, now he's just transferring it from practice to the games.
