games goal overall possible until win
Just win as many games as possible. The overall goal is to win as many games as possible until there are no more games to be played.
containing good job rebounds score shots stepped
I think we did a good job of containing him, but he stepped up. He didn't score a lot of points, but he made shots and got rebounds that were big for them.
points top
I think turnovers were key, on top of them getting points off our turnovers. That was the big thing.
confident detroit game gave last opportunity played playing test time
Just one game at a time. Detroit is playing unbelievable basketball. This is a test for us. The last time we played in Detroit, they gave us one. So it's an opportunity for us to come back. I feel like we're a better team, a more confident team.
glad rookies
He can really play. There aren't many rookies like that, and I'm glad we got one of them.
cramp felt grab hoping
It just tightened up. When I went up, I just felt a grab and I didn't want it to tear. We're hoping it's just a cramp and I can play tomorrow.
factor forth happy
We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort.
beat best compete conference consider eastern fix last miami playoffs teams test year
We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.
confusion last star
We don't have a star like last year. But we don't have the controversy and the confusion either.
pulls
When you think something can't be done, that's when he pulls off another stunt.
care fall felt jobs
We always felt (catching Miami) was a possibility. But we have to take care of our jobs and just win. If we just win, everything will fall into place.
call wants
We're better prepared. He wants more out of us so, of course, that's going to call for more work.
approach bend eight past seven
We bend but don't break. We have to have that attitude. That has been our approach the past seven or eight games.
