both ends five guys positive team together
Everything we do from here on out has to be a team effort. If five guys play together on both ends of the court, we can make something positive out of this season.
beat chance extra guys incentive playoffs shirts somewhere wear
Those guys had their playoffs shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that. We had extra incentive to beat them. Now, they have to wear them somewhere else.
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.
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.
cheeks factor good guys major page
Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
clothes good guys wearing
I don't think it's good for the league. I really don't because it kind of makes it fake. Guys wearing those clothes don't want to be wearing those clothes.
guys hurt ready step willie
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
coming gonna good guys half happening nine positive urgency
When you have a first half like that nine times out of 10 you're gonna have good lead. Guys are coming out with a sense of urgency the positive thing about that is that it's happening now.
ball easy game guys move rebound
When you rebound the ball we're able to move the ball, and we want to get out and run, try to get guys some easy baskets. We don't want to come out and play a half-court game all the time.
guy team
We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league.
giving great guys players playing realize season today
It's not like defenses are out there just giving guys 50 and 60 points. You have to look at what's going on this season and realize there are just as many great players playing today as there ever has been in this game.
business deal families guys maybe
That is just something that I don't deal with. You may not think about it as much, but it is something that you must think about because if guys have families here and maybe have to get up and just leave. It would be tough, so it's something to think about. It is part of the business and you just have to deal with it as a professional.
attention ball basket double drive easier entry free gets guys hit knocking pass people post running stop team throw tough
It makes it that much easier for me, especially when he gets that attention on the post and people double him, and I get the entry pass. I get people running out at me, I can drive to the basket or hit that shot. And running the pick-and-roll, when guys try to take the ball out of my hands, all I do is make that one little pass at the free throw line. And when (Webber) is knocking it down, it?s tough for a team to stop us.
basketball effort far guys maybe mostly obviously talent urgency win younger
It's all mostly effort when it comes to this game. Maybe some of the younger guys don't have that sense of urgency we obviously need to win basketball games. I think as far as talent we have enough to get over the hump.
