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.
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.
everybody including trying win year
That championship year we had, everybody played. It wasn't trying to win with one or two guys. We used everybody that we had, including our bench. We've got to use everybody. That's the only way you can win in this league.
goal playing regardless
Nah. Our goal is still the same, regardless of where we're playing or who we're playing against. It's still the same.
coaching confident matter wonder
Before when you had coaching changes, you always wonder what he's going to do new. I'm confident in this team. Right now we could play for any coach. It doesn't matter who's coaching us.
minutes played ready
It's not about how many minutes we played. It's about being ready to play the way we've played all season.
anytime crowd plays relax takes three
Anytime you give up three three-point plays like that, it takes something away from a team. That got the crowd involved. So all we had to do was relax and play.
adjust aggressive calls came continue dictate force tried
I just had to continue to play my game. I couldn't let the calls dictate how I was going to play. I wanted to force them to adjust to me. I just came out aggressive and tried to make some plays.
camp chance guys training
I haven't been through a training camp in a year, so I just wanted to get through that training camp, see what we had going on, ... Give the young guys a chance to shine.
against funny problems
Again, it was funny how many problems Shaq had against 68
defense game good seems struggles trip
If our defense struggles a little bit, our whole game seems to struggle. It's good to know we're going out on this trip with our defense clicking.
beat force guys hard pick shortcuts sign tough
I didn't know anything about it, but I think that's a sign of consistency. We go out and play hard every night, not take shortcuts and we usually don't pick up fouls. We keep guys off the line, force them to take tough shots, force them to beat you, not beat yourself.
