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.
defense hard percent played shot shots stepped
We played hard and our defense stepped up. They only shot about 32 percent (23-of-71) from the field, but they made the shots down the stretch.
chance explain game hard offense playoff problem stop team trying urgency win
We had a chance to win but it was like the whole game, we just couldn't stop them. Our offense wasn't the problem tonight. It was our defense. It's hard to explain when every game is so important, especially with a team we're trying to chase. Not to have that sense of urgency like it's a playoff game, is really a shame.
everybody harder last league past people plays record respect slow sneak surprised team
It's going to be harder than it was last year. We were able to sneak up on people last year, with our past record and our slow start. People were surprised with how we were able to play. I think this year, I think we have the respect from everybody in the league that we're going to be a team that plays hard every night. So, we're going to have to play harder.
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.
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.

I think you'll see a different Miami team. They will definitely come out and play harder than they did tonight.

We just played our game. We knew the importance of this and we felt that they had all the pressure. We knew that we could come out, be relaxed and play our game.
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.
It would be an honor, not only for me but also for the organization and a lot of people.
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.

We wanted it in Ben's (Gordon) hands. We went to our go to play. They played it well. We got a good shot and that's all you can ask for.
