chance court easy games guard hard honestly played point points pressure putting rely run starting stop teams watched
To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.
against beat coming defensive easy explain hard nobody playing running scoring stop time type
There's no way to explain it. We just got beat up. We're not stop-ping nobody, man. ... And if we can't stop nobody on the defensive end then it's hard to get into any type of running game, easy baskets. Every time they're scoring on us, and we're coming down and playing against a half-court set.
games gonna harder playing point
It makes it that much more important. I don't think it will have us play any harder because if you're not playing hard at this point with these games right here, then you're not gonna play hard anyway.
hard-work thinking effort
I just wanted to set a good example. I wanted to do things that I hadn't done before. My whole thing was to just try to be professional. I think when you work hard, good things happen, so obviously, because we're going to the Finals.

I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.

best bring bunch far good guys hard honestly might problem roles successful talent team whatever win work worry
I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.
hard loss playing
I don't think the loss will make us play any harder. If you aren't playing hard at this point, then you aren't going to be playing hard anyway.
basketball fingers group hard playing pointing seem win
I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but as a group we're not playing hard enough to win basketball games. We don't seem hungry. We don't seem like we want to make it to the playoffs.
appearance breaking declining fans game guess hard hear negative night point recognize special
The first appearance is always going to be the most memorable. This one is special because I'm 30 years old and you hear all the negative things about your game declining and at this point you should be breaking down. I still go out and play hard every night and give it my all. I guess the fans recognize that because they put me in the All-Star game.
season
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.

We just needed win - period. We're just struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this would have been bad because we played really well defensively.
badly far lose needed played struggling talking
We just needed it, period. Just for our sake, not as far as what everyone else is talking about. Just as competitors we just needed a game. We're struggling so badly right now. Then to lose this one would have been really bad, because we played really well defensively.
beginning both game played whipped
We just got whipped from the beginning of the game to the end. They were making shots, they executed well both offensively and defensively. They just played real well tonight.
