beat forward looking
We'll be on their turf, where they beat us before, so we'll be looking forward to it.
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.
coming excited forward good looking next teams week
I am a little more excited now because we've got some good teams coming in over the next week or so. I am looking forward to that.
beat best bit came care doubt looking past struggling team teams took toughest
No doubt about it. That team is one of the best teams in the West. They've been struggling a little bit but that's when it's toughest to play teams, when they're struggling. They're looking to get back right and what better team to beat than us? We didn't look past that team, came out and took care of business.

It's been a struggle for him, but I know he's feeling good about the trade and how it went down. Things will start looking up for him.
bad great longer looking shoulders somebody taking thinks
It's great because we're no longer looking over our shoulders if somebody thinks we're taking a bad shot. There's been a lot more freedom.
consistent few games good hopefully last looking night win
We're just looking to be consistent now. Hopefully we can keep being good defensively and keep working offensively. That started a few games ago; we had a good win last night so we just want to keep it going.
looking plays point scoring
That's just not me. I'm a scoring point guard. I'm always looking to make plays for people, but it's not my first instinct.
ahead coast far finish guys lay looking reason teams whatever
I think that for whatever reason we think that we can coast to the finish line, and not do what we have done all season. We are getting away from what we do, and guys are looking too far ahead to the playoffs. We have to do the things that we have always done. Teams aren't just going to lay down for us.
ahead best bit coast far finish guys line looked looking whatever
For whatever reason, we feel like we can just kind of coast to the finish line and not do what we've done all season, to be looked at as the best team. We're getting away a little bit from what we do. Guys are, unfortunately, looking too far ahead to the playoffs.
against forward fourth last looking nice night tough
He had a tough night against us last time, but he was having a tough night against us in Miami, too, before he got going in that fourth quarter. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to it, though. It's always nice to play them.
against best forward gotten great looking team
I know I am looking forward to it because they are the 'other' best team in the league. Of course, you want to play against the best. We've gotten off to a great start, and so have they.
across capable definitely excited forward glad looking proud regain usa
I'm excited to have the USA across my chest. I'm glad they thought I was capable enough to regain our dominance. So I am proud of that, and I am definitely looking forward to it.
against believes control felt game good itself locker played plays room talked team tempo tested tries yesterday
We talked about it in the locker room before the game, that this was the game we needed. We felt they hadn't been tested in this postseason, they hadn't played against a team like us that plays defense, believes in itself and tries to control the tempo of the game. Yesterday was a good game to show them that.
