adjust games gave hard late learned playing points quarter rebound third tough
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen.
energy great pick playing somewhere sort
It's been unbelievable. To see how great we were playing and see how we've now sort of bottomed out. We've got to find some energy from somewhere to pick it up.
excited fans fighting game huge lakers opportunity orleans pick playoff plus sneak
It'll be my first opportunity to play in New Orleans. I'm excited to get there and show the fans of New Orleans that we still play for them. Plus it's a huge game for us; the Lakers are fighting for a playoff spot, so we need to pick it up and sneak out with a win.
digging fall hole maybe ourselves playoffs reality taken
We are digging ourselves a big hole in these games. Maybe what we need is to have a reality check, and fall out of the playoffs, and (realize) that the playoffs can be taken away from us.

We are really trying to make a run to the playoffs right now. I feel like if we just win and take care of that stuff, those accolades will come.

basketball charlie dribble great high player shoot since
I'm not surprised. Charlie has been this great of a basketball player since we were in high school. He can dribble the ball up the court, pass, shoot -- everything.
thinking play cities
We wanted to impress the crowd so much. The city has done so much for us and welcomed us right in, and we just wanted to give them a good show and show them that we're going to play for them. I think guys just had a little bit of jitters.
thinking play guy
Im still getting more familiar with the plays and different things, but I think that will come along with getting more experience and getting to know the guys better.

What I really try to do is take different pages out of different players books.

I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.
jobs play leader
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
change directions diverse floor low plays point pure teammates time
He plays real low to the floor and (is) able to change directions all the time and keep you off balance. The thing that makes him so diverse is he's able to score, but at the same time, he's a pure point guard. He can find his teammates and make the right pass.
cause games guess hit line missed open shots straight win
We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
