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.
compete great needed played shots stayed team took tough
Considering everything we are going through right now, we needed this game. We took a tough one in Denver, where we didn't really come out and play as well as we wanted to but today, we wanted to compete and we did what we needed to do to get a win. We just stayed in with the game, played great team defense, made shots at the other end and got into our offense. We were able to get the shots we wanted.
attacking black dress gotten guys problem sloppy wearing
I just think that's attacking young, black males. The part about wearing suits, I think we should dress up. A lot of guys have gotten sloppy with the way they dress and I have no problem with that. But the chains, that's going a little too far.
contest contested hit knew pass time tried
He (Crawford) didn't have enough time to pass so I knew he was going to shoot. I just tried to contest the shot. I contested it and he hit the shot.
loves problem wants
He wants to play with us. He loves his teammates. He has no problem with his teammates. He told me that personally. He wants to come back and play.
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.
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.
dealing time
It's not the first time we've been dealing with it.
coming court gain guys job playing relationship together trying worrying
He's not here. We're not worrying about where he's going ... We've got a job to do. I think we're worrying about these 12, 15 guys coming out and playing together trying to gain some kind of relationship on and off the court so we can get this thing done the right way.
blow decisions hard holding lead learn matter somebody
We have to make better decisions on holding leads. We get a lead in another team's building, then give up the lead. It's hard to get it back, no matter who you're playing. We have to learn how to get a lead and blow somebody out. We haven't done that in a while.
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.
happy
We're just happy to be in the playoffs. We'll play anybody.
