begging until wait
I was begging them, too. But they told me to wait until Friday.
biggest complacent continue energy ourselves prepare
The thing we need to do now is not get complacent about 42. The biggest thing now is to continue to play with the energy we play with, and prepare ourselves right now for the playoffs.
aggressive attacked energy supposed
We just didn't come out with the energy that we were supposed to. They jumped all over us and were very aggressive and attacked us.
bring coach minutes playing ready team turn wait whatever
For sure. I'm always ready to get out there and do whatever the team needs, but Coach isn't really playing me significant minutes right now. That's fine. We're winning, so I'll just wait my turn and bring it off the bench.
based drawing expect
I expect to play hard. What I do is based on getting to the basket, drawing fouls, and getting to the line.
chris coach great needs playing plays pushing settle team trying
Chris Kaman has been his pupil. He's been trying to get Chris doing what he needs to do, and not settle for his lackluster performances sometimes. I think Coach has really been pushing him to be a better player. Now Chris is playing better, he's getting more confident, and our team is playing a lot better when he plays well. So it's great to see that.
felt game help maybe shots trying
I felt OK. I was trying to help out in any way that I could. First game back, a lot of shots were short. Maybe it was fatigue. But I can only get better.
players points
Without him, it's like 30 points that's gone. So you can't really make that up. You need to have a lot of players make that up, and they just can't do it right now.
beat settle
We need to have a different focus. If we settle for just making the playoffs, we're going to get beat in the first round.
beat execute hard shows supposed team teams
It just shows what our team can do. When we execute and do what we're supposed to do, it's hard for teams to beat us - even the world champs.
biggest strive
It's great. I think the biggest thing now is not to get complacent. We still have to strive for the best.
We're not there yet, but it's not blurry.
aggressive foul people puts trouble trying
There were so many people in foul trouble that it puts you at a disadvantage when you're trying to play aggressive defense.
control definitely great positions puts shots takes time valuable
He's definitely the Most Valuable Player. He takes control of his team, puts them in great positions to make shots and he's been doing that the whole time. Every time he does that, they get great looks.
