ball best both eight five four game gives job shared speeds
We shared the ball and it's not just one person getting into a rhythm, it's four or five guys. The game speeds up a little bit. But at the same time, we're like eight times better with (O'Neal) because it gives us the best of both worlds. It's a little faster, but he makes our job a lot easier.
ball danny defense drive jump line proper rather shoot situation straight wish
We didn't think Danny was going to give it up that easy. It was just a straight line drive and we'd rather him take a jump shot. A situation like that, when he has the ball at the end of the game, you know he's going to shoot it. We just didn't play the proper defense on him. I wish I was guarding him. I probably would have made it a little tougher.
dedicated guys means next ready summer taking time
That means a lot of guys are dedicated and not taking too much time off during the summer and getting ready for next year.
abide basically
It is what it is. It's basically over to me. I can't do anything about it, but abide by the rules.
dealing guys last says situation
It's a situation we've been dealing with the last two years, not having our whole team. Guys have been in and out of the rotation. This says a lot about this team.
glad shot win
It's no buzzer beater, but we did win the game. I'm glad I made it because I didn't make a shot all night.
hurricane thankful
It was frustrating because I didn't know what they were going to be able to do. I'm thankful I was able to get them out before the hurricane came.
happy
We're just happy to be in the playoffs. We'll play anybody.
making-love pressure
I make love to pressure.
nice dressing-up league
I have no problem dressing up . . . because I know I'm a nice-looking guy. But as far as chains, I definitely feel that's a racial statement. Almost 100% of the guys in the league who are young and black wear big chains. So I definitely don't agree with that at all.
