trip
Yeah, it was ugly, but we won. We'll take it, especially after the trip we just had.
challenge coming forward game great looking playing quiet road trip
It's great coming out here and getting the first game of the road trip just to keep the doubters quiet for a second. We're looking forward to the challenge of playing the Clippers. This is exciting.
ahead chicago dallas games good happened hold league lost road sitting team time tough trip
You can't hold on to anything that's already happened in this league -- you just can't. We lost to a very good Dallas team that has a lot of weapons. Now it's time to look ahead at Chicago (29-37) and New Jersey, try to get these games and then we've got a tough road trip sitting there for us.
begins consistency starts trip trying urgency year
This trip is big, it really is. We're trying to get some consistency right now, and we have to find it on this trip. We have to do something before the new year starts and use that as momentum. It's a long season, but we have to feel that sense of urgency to get something done, and it begins with this trip.
arrived bus cleveland
When we arrived in Cleveland (Monday) we were in the back of the bus and we said we know Gilbert is going to come out and have a big game, so it's on us. We didn't play well in the first game.
fed losing
We're fed up with this losing already. It's not something we're going to get used to.
hope achieve
He who expects not to achieve will never do so.
bit coming couple halftime karl last locker longer retirement weaknesses
We didn't want to come out flat. That was one of our weaknesses over the last couple of weeks, coming out after halftime flat. With the Karl Malone retirement and everything, we were in (the locker room) a little bit longer than usual. (We had to) come out and get some buckets quick.
coaches game
Our coaches had us prepared. But when the game started, we did everything they told us not to do.
fell felt finding followed great job legs
It felt real good. I got my legs under me, I followed through, I really wanted that shot. Chucky did a great job of finding me, and it just fell a little short.
billy bleeding came eight free great left picked played quick seconds stopped wiped
I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.
earlier losses main road stop three
Our main thing was to go .500 or better (on the road trip). Now that we've got three wins, why stop now? Let's make up for some of the losses earlier in the season.
We need an almost-perfect game. Ain't that right, L.O.?
We have to play with the same tenacity. Nothing changes.
