bench control giving great job keeping pick slow turning wheels
We got off to a slow start, but for the most part, we were able to pick it up and take control of the game. The bench did a great job of keeping the wheels turning and giving us a lot of energy.
bench coming couple great guys job
We got a couple of new guys coming off the bench. Our bench has been doing a great job for us, coming in and maintaining.
allow break defense job offensive
They were aggressive. They wanted it more than we wanted it. We've got to a better job on penetration. On pick-and-rolls, when they play a lineup like that, we can't allow them to break down the defense and get offensive rebounds.
job
We'll see what we have tonight. We've got a job to do and we need to do it.
ball deep great job larry number places rick standing throwing unless wrinkles
Larry 'let' me be a part of the offense? ... That was deep right there. When I'm on the floor, I've got to be part of the offense. There's just no other way to have it. I think Larry did a great job of throwing little wrinkles out there. He called my number here and there and got me the ball in places where I can be effective. If I'm out on the floor, I'm going to be part of the offense. Unless it's Rick Carlisle, and I'm just standing around.
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.
allowed focus good job side stayed strong
I don't think we did a good job executing. I think we stayed on the strong side a little too much and allowed them to focus in on what we were doing.
allow ball came catch force passing second success third
We just wanted to tighten it up a little bit, get in the passing lanes, force them to go to their second or third options, not allow them to just catch the ball where they want to catch it at. Once we came out and did that, we had a little success with it.
came energy everybody game guys knows mean opportunity ourselves playoffs ready step teams win
We just wanted to give ourselves every opportunity to win games. Guys came out ready to play with a lot of energy but the playoffs is a whole different beast. This game won't mean anything for that. Everybody knows teams step up their game once the playoffs start.
control early energy game good plan success
We just wanted to come out with a lot of energy early in the game and take control of the game and we were able to do that. That was our game plan and we had good success doing it.
couple enjoy goes hit looks seeing sophomore start weight
I used to play with the weights, but once I hit my sophomore year, I got serious. That's when I got addicted. You know, you start seeing a couple of rips and you like how it looks and you keep working, and it goes from there. Now I am addicted. I enjoy working out. I enjoy being in the weight room.
allow coach flip likes loves passion possession
Flip allows you to go out there and play. You know if you make mistakes, he'll allow you to play through it. Coach Brown, you know, he likes to coach, pretty much every possession if he can. That's his passion ? he loves to coach.
game playoffs regardless time
Every time we play Miami, regardless if it's in the playoffs or a regular-season game or pre-season game, the tension, the excitement, everything is there.

Right now, we're chasing something bigger than Miami or anybody else. Right now, we're having a lot of fun. We have a nice streak going. We've got an opportunity to do something special.
