came consistent felt good great hard ourselves played position time tonight
We had a great trip. We played consistent and then came out tonight and played very good offensively. I just felt they were going to have a hard time guarding us and that's what happened. We have put ourselves in a pretty good position going back home.
attack consistent defend effort execute finish games rest road within year
You've got to defend and you've got to execute when you're on the road and we haven't been doing it. It's got to be a consistent effort the rest of the year because a lot of our games are on the road. I think we can get there. We have the team. We have the wherewithal within the games to attack people. But we have to finish games.
consistent last league saw team year
It's not going to be the same team we saw in there last time. Other than Detroit, they were the most consistent team in the league this year on a game-by-game basis. That's how they got to where they are.
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.
aggressive came gave guys kevin lift martin second step
( Kevin Martin ) came in, he was aggressive and he made shots. If we're going to be successful, we're going to need those guys to step up off the bench. He really gave us a lift in the second quarter.
