close eventually far fed finding losing money mouth pull saying time win
There's only so many times you can say, 'This is the time to get things rolling. With me, I'm pretty much fed up as far as saying that. Eventually we have to pull it together. It's really no more excuses, the way we've been playing, not finding a way to win games, losing close games. It's pretty much put your money where your mouth is and find a way to do it.
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.
time
It's what we should have done a long time ago. It's what we expect.
affect approach brush head hung next seemed teammates time week
It seemed like every time I look up it was 'in and out. The only thing you can do about that is brush it off. I kind of hung my head down a little bit. I don't like my teammates to see me like that, but it's not going to affect the way I come in to next week and how I approach the end of the season.
almost believe character far good last matter playing point shows special sticking team time
We are almost where we were at this point last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team as far as sticking with it. We believe that this is a pretty good team. The way that we are playing defensively and offensively, you can see that we have something special here. I think it's just a matter of time before we get even better.
bargain bit came happen higher last plays road stakes sure team time trip
I think this road trip is, for me, more personal. The last time we came out West, I kind of went into a slump. So I just didn't want that to happen again. The stakes are a little bit higher this time. I just want to make sure that I keep up my end of the bargain and make sure the team plays well.
came half job phenomenal quarter third time
It is not like this is the first time this has happened. We did a phenomenal job in the first half and in the third quarter we came out flat. We have to do a better job.
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.
cheated lazy
Offensively, it wasn't there. We cheated the plays. We cheated our cuts. We weren't aggressive. We were lazy with the ball.
good job staying
Offensively, I don't know what we were doing. They did a good job of staying poised.
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.
chance enjoy felt last losing man playoffs saying seen took tough
I've been around a while and it's been frustrating lately. It's been tough to get up and enjoy the season. Normally, that's how you feel as an organization that doesn't have any chance of making the playoffs and we've kind of seen those signs. I'm not saying that we felt that way but losing those last three, man it took a lot out of this team.
