caught last main man rick sleeping trying
I was trying to get the last shot, that's what Rick (Carlisle) told me. That was my main focus. But A.J. (Johnson) made a heads-up play. His man (Gordon) got caught sleeping and he made a back-door play.
last played
We feel like we have a lot to prove, ... But not to the world, to ourselves. We know we're better than the way we played last year.
game last playoffs wanna winning worry
We just wanna worry about winning this last game and going into the playoffs with some momentum.
bit easier game heal last point pushing ready seven
I'm at the point where pushing it is making it worse. I've been pushing it for so long that it's easier to sprain every game. I've sprained it in seven of the last 10 games. I'm going to take a game off and try to let it heal a little bit and try to be ready for (Tuesday's game at Chicago).
ball best blame defense figure flowing games great last moved played showing signs starting team together
The best way I can say it is we've played well, we've moved the ball and played great defense the last two games so we are showing signs that we are getting the chemistry. We can't put the blame on Ron. We can't say because Ron's not here, everything's flowing better. All we can say is we're starting to figure each other out, we're starting to play well together and we're starting to play like the team we know we can be.
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.
business care couple game knew last match meant wins
It was a big game for us. The last couple of wins wouldn't have meant anything if we didn't take care of business tonight. We knew we had to come out and match their intensity.
hit
We couldn't hit shots. That's what it all boiled down to. It was very frustrating, but at the same time, we got the looks.
carry chance great hit league mike team
Mike has always been a great player. He's getting a chance now to really show the league that he can carry a team and hit big shots.
good hip looks shoot stay
Stay on his hip and make him shoot over you all night. Don't give him no good looks because he's an outstanding scorer.
chance everybody hate lay nobody ourselves point stay trying turn until
I think everybody is at the point where they hate losing. It's 'When can we turn this thing around?' Nobody is going to lay down now that we're under .500. I think everybody is trying to stay positive. We've got to give ourselves a chance until everybody is back healthy.
clock kept normally
We kept playing. We didn't do what we normally do and that's clock watch.
everybody ready sky trying
We're trying to get out togetherness back. We are getting to know everybody so that we are ready for the playoffs. When everybody is healthy, the sky is the limit.
defense proper wish
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.
