amaze anybody capable
It doesn't amaze me. It doesn't amaze anybody on our team, because we know what he's capable of doing.
talk
I am going to talk to him before the All-Star break, but right now, I don't think I am going.
common common-sense dribble throw trying
They were just trying to foul, so the common sense thing to do is throw it up at the basket. As long as you don't dribble no more, it's a continuation.
energy five fourth hit knew last level quarter shots six time
The last five or six games, our energy level has been down. That's why I knew the fourth quarter was the time to get aggressive, try to hit some shots and get to the line.
again knew missed shot
After Chauncey missed that shot at the end of the first overtime, I knew we had to get it back to him again because I knew he'd make up for it.
ball good job offensive
The thing we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding the ball and not let them get second-chance opportunities on the offensive glass. We did a good job on that.
bit expect maybe numbers playing season turned
I don't think he's turned it up at all. I think he's been playing that way for the longest, you know? Maybe his numbers are up a little bit but this is what he's been doing all season and you can expect the same thing (tonight).
basket drove easier everybody kicked knows rip slow taking
We really got off to a slow start, but once we got going, we started taking better shots. We drove to the basket a little bit, penetrated and kicked and made some plays. Everybody knows when Rip and Chauncey are making shots, it makes it easier for the other players.
easy floor natural points presents scores stuff
What he presents on the floor is unusual. He scores from so many different areas, points come easy to him; rebounds, points, all that stuff comes so easily, so natural to him. It's like no other.
defense happening offensive stops
We know what our capabilities are: to have our defense get some stops and try to get started on our offensive game, which wasn't happening for us.
allowed feet jump key knew last minutes overtime played seemed slow start stuff
We knew they played that overtime game. We didn't play that many minutes last night. So the key for us was just to get out quickly, make some stuff happen. It seemed like they had slow feet from the start of the game, which allowed us to jump on them early.
crowd lead plays respond tied took whenever
Whenever they took the lead or tied it up and got the crowd into the game, we made some plays to put the crowd out of it. They would make another run, and we would respond again.
