area check houses letting people talked
I've talked to a lot of people down there who said the area is real bad. It's going to take a while for people to get back on their feet. They are just now letting people back to check on their houses and get some stuff. But right now, it's not livable.

Everyone is expecting us to lose. It just relaxes us and gives us an opportunity to go and play our game.

It's tough to go on a long road trip and have a winning record. So if we can get these two under our belt and have some momentum, I think we'll be fine.
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.

focused game gave hard plan playoff team trying urgency
It's hard to explain, every game is important especially with a team we're trying to chase. For us not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game it's a shame. We should've been focused and executed the game plan and just gave an all-out effort, which we didn't.
defense shots tough
It's tough when our defense is struggling, and we're also not making shots like that.

There were a lot of crazy things happening. A lot of wacky plays. Thank God we were able to come out with a win.

defense extra guess putting situations starting
Our defense has been suffocating to where we've been making them make extra passes. We've been rotating and putting them in situations where they're uncomfortable. I guess the frustration is starting to get to them a little bit.
clothes donate food help money people word
People don't have to donate money, ... Money would be fine, but it also could be food or clothes or anything else that would help the people there. We just want to get the word out and do as much as we can.
everybody hard hope lines phone pray text touch
There's some nervousness because not everybody is accounted for, ... We haven't been able to get in touch with everyone. The phone lines are busy, so it's hard to make contact. The only way to do it is through (telephone) text messages, really. We can only hope and pray that everybody is all right.
