brings intangible nobody talks teammate
He's a bulldog. He's one of the unsung heroes. Nobody talks about the intangible things that he brings on the floor. He's an unbelievable teammate and he's just hard-nosed.
focus ourselves
I think we've established ourselves at home. But we've still got to keep that focus every night.
expect fans game great houston town
Houston is a great town so why wouldn't the all-star game come here? Fans should expect a great game.
attitude bring building early focus goal regardless teams throw
Our goal and our focus is to bring the same attitude regardless (of the opponent). We just try to take teams out early and throw them out of our building by any means.
beginning gym
I was beginning to feel like I was in the gym by myself out there,
afraid capable committed everybody feeling good great talent talking team thinking
It's exciting. It's a great feeling talking about it and not being afraid to say, 'Yeah, we have a good team, and we're going to be capable of competing. It's great to see everybody thinking that way. I think everybody's committed to this team because of the talent we have.
easy foul life trouble
Shaq in foul trouble makes life easy for everybody.
attack basket effective goal hitting jump shots
Our goal is to attack the basket and put the onus on the referees to make the calls. We weren't hitting our jump shots outside, so we had to be effective some other way.
care definitely fight home proven win
They're definitely proven champions. But we feel, at home ? I don't care who you are ? we're going to fight you to the end and try to win the game. So we're definitely disappointed.
moving
It doesn't do anything. It makes me laugh. OK. Fine. Whatever. Moving on.
basketball came catch hard instead lead playing relief starters statement
The starters came out playing hard and made a statement early. For us, having a lead instead of being on the other end where we had to play catch up was a relief for us.
confidence game help player plays
He's just confident. Any player that plays with confidence can help his game tremendously.
afraid against aside asks attentive call definitely guys help plays pull team tough wants willing
I call him 'Pretty Ricky,' ... I like him because he's one of those guys, he plays hard. If you pull him aside and try to help him, he's willing to learn. He's very attentive and he asks questions. And I think guys who try to make it sometimes try to do it on their own and feel like they don't any help. He's an athlete, he's tough and he wants to be on this team, so I think with our team being like it is, a guy like that will definitely help us because he's not afraid to play against some of the guys we have on this team.
asked biggest dedicating fun games guys hard last playing themselves
It's always fun when you're winning, but the biggest thing that makes it fun is guys are just going out there and playing hard and doing what's asked of us. It's just the effort. Guys are dedicating themselves to these last 20-plus games and we're getting results.
