four
Four more games. We still have a chance, so let's fight.
fourth free game line throw
From the line I was concentrating. I was a machine. I like scoring, especially from the free throw line, especially in the fourth quarter, especially with the game on the line.
good orlando point
He's great. Orlando has got a good point guard.
bad chance good win
We don't have a good chance (to make the playoffs), it's a bad chance. But we have a chance, which is good. We have to win a lot of games, but we still feel like we can do it.
chasing finally fourth hard intimidate miami orlando quarter teams
We have to play hard and not let teams intimidate us in the first quarter like Miami and Orlando did. You have to keep chasing and chasing. Finally in the fourth quarter when you've got them, you have no energy.
fourth game opportunity quarter tremendous
We had an opportunity to keep (the lead), but Dirk had a tremendous game and in the fourth quarter he just killed us.
couple games moving previous stayed terrific tonight
We stayed with our game. A couple of the previous games we were terrible, but tonight we did a terrific job. We were happy, we were moving and rolling.
amazing game guy won
He's amazing and I think he's the guy that won the game tonight.
avoid floor leave trying
I'm trying to avoid it. We're going to leave it in the organization ? coaches, owners. We're the players. Our job, go on the floor and play the game.
crunch hit hits knows last lots
Everyone knows that Mehmet can hit the 3, especially in crunch time. Lots of games, he hits the last shot.
pay
They just out-played us, out-hustled us and out-rebounded us. We just didn't pay any attention.
further good lost win
It's good to win one because if we lost we would have been even further back.
fought trying
They fought us. They didn't give up. Zach Randolph was trying to win.
cold confident felt free technique throw tonight
Everything was right, everything about my technique was good. Sometimes when you're shooting, you feel a little cold and that's a factor. But tonight I just felt confident at the free throw line.
