hit jackson stepped win
Jackson hit a lot of big shots. I thought that everyone stepped up. This was a big win for us.
everybody fans games gets good great happen healthy settled win
I feel that when we get everybody healthy and everybody gets settled in again, we will win games and show our fans what good things can happen here. I thought we had a great effort.
couple grinding stops win
I could really sense (a swing). We were grinding and we were grinding and then they got a couple of breaks, but we were still right there. Then at the end we were able to make a couple stops and get a run. It was a big win for us.
beginning feeling guy lose nice row since six smartest three win
It's a nice feeling, probably a feeling we haven't had since the beginning of the year. We just need to concentrate and be professional about it and keep it going. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it's better to win three in a row than to lose six (in a row).
best certain changing coaching good league obviously players season staff stretch tough
I think we are searching. We went into the season with a certain identity, and obviously things are changing right now. We have one of the best players in the league and a good coaching staff and good veterans. It's a tough stretch right now.
helping trade
I think there's a lot of uncertainty about the trade, let's be honest. It's not helping us out, that's for sure.
adapt adjust might team
I think I'm going to have to adapt to the team much more than they're going to have to adapt to me. I'm a rookie. I might be very old for a rookie, but I am one. So I'm going to adjust to the team.
believe care help kindness month question ready role stuff ultimately
I would like to have some kind of role on this team, there's no question about it but ultimately we help Pacers to win, ... Don't get me wrong. I would like to play. I would like to play a lot. That's not a question. But we're one month away from the season, and there's so much more important stuff than your role on the team. If you're in shape, if you come ready to play, if you take care of your body, then that other stuff will take care of itself. I really believe that.
talk whether
Whether I'm right or wrong, we can talk in one or two years.
adds bad experience
I don't think it's anything serious. It just adds more to the bad experience of losing.
chemistry definitely talent team
We can give up talent for team chemistry. Team chemistry is more important than talent. We definitely have enough talent to go very far.
felt
I felt like the Pacers . . . they've already been there,
answer deal emphasis game message needs send start team
I don't know what it is. I can't answer it. The emphasis going into the game is to start aggressive; in a way to send a message we're going to play hard. I don't know what the deal is. We're a team that really needs some wins.
level matter playing sort stop team
We've been a team that when we get a lead, we sort of stop playing as hard. For us, it's a matter of playing at the same level that we can for 48 minutes. If we can do that, we're going to be all right.
