fear played win
When it was all about V.C. the Raptors played with fear, and that's not how you win games.
giving good guys opportunity thankful thrilled
It's a good feeling, I'll tell you that. There's a lot of guys who've been phenomenal, unreal, so I'm just thankful for the opportunity to be here and I'm thrilled that he's giving me the opportunity to start.
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.
blew free harder hate hurt might miss missing opportunity throw tie worry
I play to win. I had the opportunity at the end. I blew it. I blew the opportunity. I hate that I had to miss those for us to end our streak. It's going to make me want to come out and play harder tomorrow. Missing that free throw hurt the most. If I made that, it would have been a tie game, and I might not have had to worry about that jumper.
bother rest
It's going to bother me for the rest of the night.
less money points
How is it I make less money than you and have more points right now?
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.
