game top
You know you got to be on top of your game or you're going to get embarrassed.
defensive felt presence pressure rebound
The only pressure I put up on myself is to go out there and rebound the basketball, make my presence felt on the defensive end, make plays.
lose win worry
There ain't nothing to worry about, because you're going to win some and you're going to lose some.
beginning care season taking win
We set out from the beginning of the season to try and win every game. It's not about who we're playing, it's about going out there and taking care of our business.
front game next playing possibly trying week win worried
Right now, that's what we're playing for. We're not worried about who they put in front of us or who we've got to play this week or next week. We're just trying to win every game we possibly can.
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.
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.
force instead lined maybe outcome poised stretch team tried
I thought they were the more poised team down the stretch. I thought we maybe lined up too many threes down the stretch and tried to force the outcome instead of doing what we usually do.
dedicated group guys says winning
I think that says a lot about the guys here; being dedicated to winning. And it says a lot about the organization being dedicated to winning and what they have to do to keep this group together.

Knowing Tony, I know he wouldn't go in the stands for no reason. You've got to protect your family.
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.
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.
