Compared to this, things like my new contract don't mean that much, ... There are bodies floating in the water. A lot of houses have been destroyed. When all of this is over in another week or so and people are allowed to go back home, what will they go back to? It's a tough situation to handle.

dumbest eighth harder prepare team time
This is about the six, seventh, eighth time this has happened. We do the dumbest things that keep us from winning. It's been the same story all year. I think we prepare harder than any team in the NBA. We go over the same things over and over, and we still make the same mistakes.

capable constantly court defensive guys helping main starts talking team whatever
For whatever reason, a lot of guys are tentative when it comes to talking out on the court and helping one another. For us to be the defensive team that we need to be, and we're capable of becoming, it all starts with communication. That's our main thing. When we're out there, we need to constantly be talking to one another.

discourage focused plenty shot thinking time
I'm not thinking anything, I'm just concentrating on the shot. I had plenty of time to see the rim when I was going there. I didn't want him to discourage my shot in any way. If he's going to make a play, he's going to have to make a spectacular play. So I just focused on the shot and let it go.
eight seven shots
In the first half, we had seven or eight shots go in and out.
