everybody exception finally goes great hard late played win
It's hard, but everybody goes through it with the exception of Detroit, who hasn't had any injuries. You've just got to find a way to win with the situation. It's been hard because of late we had played well together. We finally got some great chemistry.
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.
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.
accustomed beat early hard playing shoulders teams trio
We really put it upon our shoulders to come out and play well. Caron had it going early and I had it going late. Those are the things that we're accustomed to. Teams know that we're the highest-scoring trio in the league. If we're playing well, it's going to be hard to beat us.
deer good hard matter recall rookie starts surface time year
I can recall my rookie year when I was like a deer in the headlights, so I know it's hard for him. But I think it's a matter of time before he starts scratching the surface of how good he can really be.

I knew it was good. I had the adrenaline going and I was feeling it. I didn't hesitate.

I knew I had to do something, but I got into a rhythm. Gilbert told me coming out in the second half to just let it ride. He shouldn't have to tell me that.

I knew I had to do something but I got into a rhythm.
chance early figure good guy high pressure taken trying
I'm just trying to figure out how in the world this guy wasn't taken in the first round. He doesn't play like a guy who is right out of high school. It's too early to tell and you don't want to put a lot of pressure on a young guy but I think he has a chance to be a very good player.
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.
downhill knows season
Everyone pretty much knows that the season is all downhill after the break. So this is real important for us.

Everybody's talking about Detroit, Detroit. They'll slip up and see the Dallas Mavericks with the best overall record when the season's over with.
help hopefully job lying positive staying team wins
I want to make it. Don't get me wrong; my loyalties are with this team and doing everything I can do to make this team better. But I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't want to make it. I'm staying positive about the whole situation. My job is to get as many wins as possible, and hopefully that will help out in the process.
difference learn life
I wanted them to learn about the difference experiences that I went through, and the different things that go on in my life
