four heard hurt last offensive score team three
We haven't heard that around here for a long time. Flip, he's an offensive genius. For the last three or four years, that's the one thing - the only thing - about our team that was predictable. And I think it hurt us at times, us not being able to score points.
advantage business care game hard held hopefully series somebody start took until wins worked
We haven't done nothing. We worked hard to get home-court advantage and we took care to keep it. We just held serve. We took care of business at home. They say a series doesn't start until somebody wins a game on the road. Hopefully we can start this series on Saturday.

against few fighting finally guard last looking playing race room sort team teams tough weeks
We are finally playing a team that's fighting for something, just like us. That's something new for us. The last few weeks we've been playing teams that are out of the race and have nothing to play for, and we sort of let our guard down. When you play against tough teams like Miami, there's no room for error. You can't let your guard down. I am looking for to it, man, I really am.

both came coach couple definitely dominate game grown happy marriage medium perfect playing sacrificed score since struggles understand waiting
You know what I mean, just waiting to collide. There were some struggles in my first couple of months. There were definitely some struggles with Coach Brown. But we both sacrificed a lot. We came to a happy medium and it's been a perfect marriage ever since then. My game has definitely grown playing for Coach Brown. I think I look at the game in a different light. I understand that I can dominate a game now without having to score as much as I usually do on most nights.
extremely finger man mix tough
I can't put my finger on it. They're a tough team. They play extremely hard, mix it up and play some zone, some man and keep you off-balance. They're very well-coached and they're very disciplined.

I don't know what Rip was doing, but he was hot, so I just kept going to him. He was thirsty today.
