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.
bit defense faster few might points remain score stay teams
Our defense is going to stay the same. Teams might score a few more points because we might play a little bit at a faster pace, but our defense will remain one or two in the league.
definitely elite guys lock point teams
We're definitely going to see those guys down the road. They're one of the elite teams in the league, so at some point ... we're going to lock up.

You all know that sometimes we get bored. When something like that happens, it just fuels our fire a little bit, and good luck to the other team when that happens.

came focused fourth game grind needed quarter team
We came into this game really focused on what we needed to do, making some adjustments. That team just fought. They just fought. You have to give them a lot of credit, but come fourth quarter . . . we just had to grind it out.
great picking somebody team time
That's what a great team is all about. When somebody is struggling, somebody else is picking up the slack, and we've done that time and time out.
circle credit dominating excited few finally full gotten league notoriety proper team
I'm so excited that our team is finally getting the credit we deserve. We've been dominating the league for a few years and not gotten the proper notoriety and attention. We've kind of come full circle with that.
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.

With the tough game we had last night and traveling as well, this team was waiting on us.
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.
great honest kept steve team winning
I'd be my choice, to be honest with you, but Steve Nash is another great choice. He's kept that team afloat, and not just afloat, but winning a division.

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.
