build recognized says teams
It says we should be recognized as one of the better teams in the league. We still have to build on what we're doing. But it says we're one of the better teams in the NBA.
ball beating capable defensive enforce focus instead matter playing share style
We know we're capable of beating them. It's a matter of us playing our style of basketball. And they're kind of similar. They focus on the defensive end and share the ball a lot. It's up to us to enforce our will on them, instead of them doing it to us.
behind knew
We knew it was important for us to keep them behind us.
beat
When they beat us, they beat us pretty handily. So for us to go in there and try and get one on their floor, it's going to be important for us to do that.
ball defense good job keeping key move push teams
We do a really good job at keeping the ball moving. When we don't move the ball, teams can key in on Vince (Carter). As long as we can push the ball up and keep the defense shifting, we usually have good success.
feeling good guys lose
If that happens, we'll take it. We've got such a good feeling right now and guys don't want to lose it.
control frustrates
What we do is go out there and play hard. If that frustrates him, I have no control over that.
good played second took
I thought we played good 'D', but at the same time, they weren't doing the things it took to be effective. We can take some credit, but they didn't play so well in the second half.
might tough
I thought they might have called some tough ones. But what can you do? You just have to keep playing.
blow call capable time
I wouldn't say it's a blow to the confidence. But at the same time it should be a wake-up call for us, because if we don't go out and play the way we're capable of, this kind of thing can happen.
focus guard limit main shots stop tough trying
He's a tough player. At the same time, I think we'll be able to guard him. There's no way you're going to be able to stop Jermaine O'Neal. Our main focus is making him take tough shots and trying to limit him a little bit.
basically blessed held love major
I still love to play, and my body's held up well. That's basically it. I've been blessed to not have any major injuries, and I still love to compete.
best definitely home knock record
It definitely was a big win, because they're contesting for the best record in the league. For us to come in here and knock them off on their home floor, it's a big win.
capable league people playing shown
I think I've shown people around the league that I'm still capable of playing with these guys.
