great job rip seems steps time tough
Rip and Chauncey have been doing a great job for us all season. Seems like every time we get in a tough situation, one of them steps up.
basketball dominate game individual order says
I think it says a lot about the league, that you don't have to come out and try to dominate the basketball and dominate the game in order to have individual success.
character choose guys hurting locker says taken time whatever
I think it says a lot about the character of the guys in this locker room. We have had guys who have been hurting a little bit, who could have taken some time off. But they choose to come out and give us whatever they've got. That's all we ask.
game pride win
It didn't matter, they were still going to lose. As long as we win the game, I am good. I don't have so much pride that I can't see the big picture.
desire game heart impose league nights played strange tonight win
I don't think we played with the heart and desire that we usually play with. We didn't come out and impose our will on this team. This league is strange like that, you look to come out and win every game but things happen. Some nights it doesn't go for you and tonight was one of those nights.
buzz enjoy free guys help owe playing talking team whatever
I enjoy being here. I enjoy these guys that I'm playing with. I owe everything to these guys here not talking about this, not making a big buzz about me being a free agent. We just go out there every night, and (I) do whatever I can do to help this team win.
finding focus night ways win work
What we focus on every night is going out there and making this thing work and finding ways to win games.
ball came couple defense forced guys mistakes moved played side tonight
Guys came out tonight and played with a lot of energy, just went out there and played basketball. Moved the ball from side to side and forced the defense to make a couple mistakes and made them second-guess.
close sort
He was so close and it sort of slipped away.
cut rolling
He didn't cut it, did he? Good. I like that hair. I'm rolling with him.
carried
He carried us tonight. He's been like that all season.
knowing protect stands
Knowing Tony, I know he wouldn't go in the stands for no reason. You've got to protect your family.
beat focus game played teams tough type
When we come out with that type of focus and that type of energy, it's tough for teams to beat us. When we play the way we played tonight, we make it look like that. We make the game look easy.
easy energy ourselves regardless type
When we come out and play the way we did tonight, we always make it easy on ourselves regardless of who we're playing. If we play with this type of energy and effort, we usually make it easy for ourselves and that's what we have to get back to doing.
