anytime bounce course guess last open question
He's open to suggestions. I guess it (Jefferson on Bosh) sounded good, so he went with it and it worked. That's what he is -- anytime you have a question or an idea you can bounce it off of him and of course he makes the last call.
last looked team
Our last two (games), we looked like a team that wanted to go home.
ball great last minutes quarters shares six turns
He's a great player. He shares the ball for 3 1/2 quarters and in the last six minutes he turns it up. He's phenomenal.
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.
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.
beat great last team together year
It's a great feeling. They really beat on us last year and in the playoffs. We just weren't on their level. It's been great to see our team come together in this streak.
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.
avoid ball basket both charges patient took trying tying
I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.
correct effort happy level regardless road whether
Regardless of whether (Jefferson) was back or not, we just weren't happy with our effort (on the road trip). That's what we wanted to correct - we wanted the effort level to be there.
blew ended free hate missed opportunity throw twice win
I play to win, and I had the opportunity to win twice and I blew it. I hate that I missed that free throw that ended our streak.
