basketball best closer couple definitely playing weeks
We're not playing our best basketball of the year, but we're definitely closer than we were a couple weeks ago.
game lose people playing seven step upset victory
When you lose seven out of eight, many people are upset with many things. One game or victory like this doesn't make up for the way we have been playing in the past. This is a step in the right direction.
exactly finger good hard playing
We're just not playing very good basketball. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is.
basketball fun playing
With the way things have been, we don't want to get too excited. It's fun to be playing basketball now. It wasn't there for a while.
agree biggest calling concerns credit detroit disagree doubt favorites finals individual matter playing row saying sees won
I'm not saying I completely agree with him, but Detroit should be the favorites because they went to the Finals two years in a row and they won a championship. I can't disagree with him on that. I think there's no doubt one of our biggest concerns is playing as a team. We know we have a lot of individual talent. It's a matter of playing as a team. I give him credit for calling it how he sees it.

Even given all of the situations we've been put in, we still should be playing better than we are. I felt the same way last year, so maybe that's just me.

anybody bench certainly eight fun games happier headed last less playing pretending problems time
The last two games, we're playing better, happier for each other, more assists and less turnovers. It's fun to be out there. It's fun to be on the bench for the first time in a while. I certainly think things are headed in the right direction. But it doesn't take away from the problems we've had. I don't think anybody is pretending the last eight games didn't exist.
ball basketball fun good great lose shared
We didn't play great defense, but we shared the ball a lot. Right now, it's fun to play basketball. It's fun to be out there. It was disappointing to lose the big lead, but it's a win, and that's good enough right now.

This team needs to step up and find some leadership and stop doing these things. It's not coaching; it's effort and taking responsibility for what's happening on the court.
credit driving fred gets helping scoring stepped third
You have to give a lot of credit to Fred because of the way he's stepped up into that third scoring option. He's doing it with perimeter driving and slashing and it's really helping Jermaine out when he gets doubled in the post.
couple figure games good hard together
I don't feel like we're right and it's hard to say why. It's frustrating. We need to put together a couple good games to get back on track. We need to figure it out and do it quickly.
capable change eight five game lost next previous shows
One game doesn't make up for having lost (seven of the previous eight games). But it shows what we're capable of, and if we do things the right way, things can change in these next five games.
ball break chances character feed game hard hurt offensive san tomorrow turn
We had chances early, but they hurt us on the offensive boards. They get out on the break and we feed that when we turn the ball over like we did.' It's hard to get anything out of a game like this. We've got a big character game tomorrow in San Antonio.
