clue games mentioned nobody picture win
The big picture is to win as many games as possible. I had no clue (about making the playoffs). Nobody mentioned it. We just have to win as many games as we have left.
brought came games maybe playoff win
Maybe it came off as a chip, it was just focus. I wanted to get my first win here. They brought me here not to just win 49 games but to win playoff games. That was my goal. It was important for me to come out and just be Vince.
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.
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.
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.
games letting lucky matter slip teams ugly
The more games we let slip away, we're letting other teams have a chance. It's important for us to be who we are and win. It doesn't matter how ugly or how lucky we are.
games general hopefully passing stepped team tough trying win
The team in general stepped it up, got in passing lanes and made them take tough shots. We're trying to win as many games as possible, some ugly, hopefully some impressive.
bad care dictate game games less people playoffs scrutiny shake
Oh, I can care less about scrutiny and all that. If it was a bad game, it was a bad game. Just because of what people say and what people think, they don't dictate my game and how I play. I've been in the playoffs before and I've had bad games in the playoffs before. It's just one of those things, you shake it off.
games goal hopefully impressive means point trying win wins
At this point in time, we are just trying to win as many games as possible. Some ugly, hopefully some impressive wins, some wins are going to be by luck. By any means it should be our goal right now.
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.
giving lane loose taking
I was just taking what they were giving me. On pick-and-rolls they were loose and I was able to get in the lane and make things happen.
care guys positive rebuilding stay stick together
Going through rebuilding is always tough, I don't care where you are or who you are, it is always tough. It is important for those guys to stick together and stay positive if that is possible.
minutes
The first two minutes were the toughest. I was tired.
commitment defend
I think we make a commitment to defend them.
