indiana team
I don't think Indiana is a better team than us. They just executed better than us.
coming confidence expected glad score types
I never expected to play as much as I did and score as much as I did, ... I'm glad they had the confidence in me, coming back for the first game, to do those types of things.
crucial great last left mistakes plays
I made two crucial mistakes on the last two possessions, and I'm going to take it like a man. Those plays were my fault. Kaman was doing a great job, I should have just left Tinsley with Kaman.
against needs team won
I have never won here. We don't play well against this team or in this building. That needs to change.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
expects
I know he expects big things out of me.
great guys longest seen
I haven't experienced this. It's great man, just great to see the guys who, especially me, have been here the longest and have seen this happen.
biggest starting teams understand
His biggest thing is, ... is that we can do something different. Teams are starting to understand we're not the same old Clippers.'
