understand
You don't know what to expect. The only way you can really understand it is just being in it.
care grind knew looks record start
We knew we were going to have to grind it out. I don't care what their record looks like. They come at you from start to finish.
team
We know we have a team that can make a lot of noise.
blown good step
We still think we're a good team. We didn't get blown out of here (in Cleveland), for one. We're capable. We just have to step it up a little bit.
beat definitely
We still think we can beat them. We are definitely disappointed.
fear played win
When it was all about V.C. the Raptors played with fear, and that's not how you win games.
dominate good guys tough
We didn't want Yao to dominate down low, but we wanted to make it as tough on him as possible. If Yao was going to get his shots, we didn't want the other guys to go off. I thought, overall, we did a good job.
dominate good
We didn't want Yao to dominate down low, but the thing that makes it tough, you have to give up something. If he's getting his, you just can't let everyone else have a good night.
beat best early jump life point regardless rival stay team time
When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.
sudden
It was right there for the taking. Then all of a sudden it just went south.
meant seemed
This game, from the start, seemed like it meant more for them than it did for us.
accomplish best games goal letting pill possibly slip team tough
It's 16 games to accomplish a goal we all want. And letting one go hurts. I want to play the best game I can possibly play for my team every night, so when you let one slip away, it's a tough pill to swallow.
doubling presence
Just his presence out there (helped)...they weren't doubling me.
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.
