best capitalize chance foul home hurt tonight win
Tonight was probably our best chance to get a win on their home floor. They had D-Wade out. He was hurt for a little while. They had Shaq out with foul trouble. We just weren't able to capitalize on it.
best chance home tonight win
Tonight was probably our best chance to get a win on their home floor.
best team
This is right up there with one of our best team efforts.
best came efforts everybody game guys team
This is right up there as one of our best team efforts of the season, especially having guys out. Everybody who came into the game contributed, and that's what we needed.
anybody basketball best concerned four games
We have four games left, and we have to play the best basketball we can. We can't be concerned with anybody else.
almost answer asked best corner guy mean specific standing trying
I was asked a specific question. It was almost like the guy asked me, 'Why are you standing in the corner not being aggressive, trying to get the ball?' I was trying to answer it best I could. I didn't mean it in any way.
best john listened stand talk took
We took that to heart. John doesn't talk very often, but when he does, we try our best to listen. C-Du, he really listened to what John was saying, and he wouldn't stand down.
doubt knew left time
I knew it was good. Any time I get in those situations, I just tell myself, 'I'm going to make this shot.' When it left my hand, I had no doubt it was going to go in.
bad definitely game games mistake necessary road tough win
This is definitely a game where we can win and where we'd be making a very bad mistake if we don't come out and do the necessary things to win. This is a tough road trip, and the games you can win, you definitely have to get.
nights quarter rarely
It's not a big concern. We rarely have a quarter like that. It was just one of those nights when we couldn't make a basket.
continue defensive doubt good key last maybe mind scoring team year
It's no doubt in my mind I can be a starter, but that's not my role. It wasn't our scoring that got us there. We didn't have any all-stars. It was our defensive intensity. That's the key to this team being successful. You got to continue to do that and we can be good as last year and maybe better.
time
I'm just going to take as much time as I need to heal.
found halfway people point saying season sure team tonight turning
I'm not sure what the turning point for our team was, but halfway through the season we found our identity. I know tonight people were saying we didn't have much to play for, and we could have been lackadaisical, but we don't want to have any lapses. We want to keep getting better.
easy touches
Not as many touches as I wanted. It's pretty easy to play someone who doesn't have the ball.
