defensive far identity obvious problem
We don't have an identity as far as how we play on the defensive end. We always score, so it's obvious our problem is in other areas.
We didn't do enough offensively to get it done, and we don't usually say that.
eliminated good till
We're not eliminated till we're eliminated. I just feel good about not being eliminated. We get to live another day.
guys team win
We know that team was 0-6 and just for those guys to come in here and get a win would have been devastating to us. Our whole thing was to not let them get their first win on us in our house.
continue finish game people problem stopping struggle until
We just didn't finish the game off. We've been having that problem all season. Our problem is just stopping people and rebounding the basketball. Until we get that under control, we're going to continue to struggle through 2006 as well.
bad defense gotten playing turn
We aren't playing defense and we aren't rebounding the basketball. This has gotten off to a bad start, but we have to find a way to turn it around.
against ahead easy fighting games playing relaxed team tough week won
We have a tough week ahead of us and to get those games out of the way was important. It was easy for us to go up against a team that hasn't even won 20 games. They are playing relaxed and we are fighting to get into the playoffs.
believe confidence forward looking playing playoffs trying
We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever. We are looking forward to trying to get in the playoffs and make something happen.
chance game games jet picked quarter third
We had our chance to get back in the game in the third quarter when Dirk went down but Jet (Terry) and Marquis picked up their games and we didn't.
beat chance character composure extra gave great guys incentive kept lead playoff shirts somewhere sustain time wear
We got things done at the right time tonight. Every time we went down we kept our composure and got back into the game. We were able to get a lead and sustain it. We showed a lot of character being that those guys (Washington) already had their playoff shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that, now they have to do it somewhere else. We had an extra incentive to beat them and that gave us a great lift. We just did everything right tonight.
kept lead sustain time
We got things done at the right time. Every time we went down, we kept our composure, got back into the lead and were able to sustain it.
game happens opponent playoff time tough week whatever win worry
It?s going to be a tough week because it?s going to be a playoff atmosphere. It?s important for us to try to win one game at a time and just concentrate on that. Whatever opponent we have to play, just worry about those guys. And then worry about whatever happens after that.
believe confidence focus forward helps looking playing tough
It's going to be hard. But I think that when we are in tough environments, it helps us focus more and it helps us concentrate. We're looking forward to it. We are playing with a lot of confidence right now and we believe in each other more than ever.
enjoy holiday win
It's frustrating, because we wanted to go to the holiday with a win and unfortunately we couldn't do that. We have to get it out of our system, enjoy the holiday, and come back to work.
