couple defensive good hard positives strides
It's hard to say after a loss, but we made some good strides on the defensive end. We had a couple of breakdowns, but as a whole you can find some positives in our play.
couple direction everybody games lose playing pressure quality six win
It's six games, and pretty much everybody we're playing is a quality team. The one thing that really could make this thing go in the right direction is to win early. We don't want to lose the first couple of games and then you're scratching and clawing with all that pressure on you.
couple direction games lost pressure putting road trip
The one thing that could make this thing go in the right direction is to get a couple games early. We don't want to do like we did the first road trip when we lost the first couple, and were scratching and clawing and putting pressure on ourselves.
bunch conference couple decent eastern five home knew steal teams weeks winning wins
A couple of weeks ago we knew we were about to play a bunch of Eastern Conference teams and we knew that was important, but I think this is crucial. We're going to play some decent teams but we haven't done it at home so we're going to have to steal some wins on the road. For us, this is a very important stretch. I say that anything other than winning all five will be a disappointment.
close good job nice poised running seemed staying stop time
We would get down, find a way to get close or take the lead, and they'd come on a nice big run. Those are the things you have to stop on the road. Every time it seemed that we got over the hump, they did a good job of staying poised and running their offense.
basketball playing
We're not a .500 basketball club, ... but we're playing like it.
against character far fighting finding knew lost
We knew if we lost this game, our back was really going to be against the wall. It was another show of character as far as fighting and finding a way to get a win.
definitely hear stretch
You hear it every week: 'This is the most important stretch of the season. But, in reality, this is definitely the most important stretch.
close doubt last minds pull year
We feel like we're going to win. That's what things were like last year with this team. If it was a close game, there was no doubt in our minds that we'd find a way to pull it out.
against easy miami stuff swept whatever
Being swept by Miami was kind of an eye-opener. It shouldn't have been as easy for him to do what he did, especially without Shaq out there. But there he was, doing whatever he wanted to against us. That kind of stuff can't happen.
everybody knows possible understand
Everybody knows Gilbert. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted). But it happened.
benefit everybody help knowing knows lights possible understand voted whatever
Everybody knows Gilbert. My thing is whatever lights your fire, use it to help you and benefit your team. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted), but it happened. You don't know who voted for him and who didn't. Knowing Gil, it doesn't matter.
ball beat break guys hard likes move team
We all know this team (the Warriors) likes to get on the break and play freely. We wanted to make it defensively hard for those guys and move the ball a little bit, and offensively, beat them in their own game.
ball break continuing far great guys job likes move offense poised run staying team tough
We all know this team likes to get on the break and play freely. And we wanted to defensively make it tough for those guys and make them run a set offense and move the ball a little bit. We did a great job as far as staying poised and continuing to play ball.
