exactly hits later missed seconds shots
We had a turnover, missed shots and Wally hits a 3. I don't know exactly how it went, but we were right there and then 60 seconds later we weren't.
arguably best create face game hand hit hope players tough
Tracy's arguably one of the best perimeter players in the game right now. As long as he's on the floor, he's a threat. He understands how to create space. You just have to hope to get a hand in his face and miss. And tonight, he hit some tough shots.
decided defend instead laughing point stock together western
I don't know what point it was, but we decided not to defend any more. At some point we have to decide if we want to come together and do something, instead of being the laughing stock of Western Conference.
drive
I still feel like I have a lot to prove, ... My drive isn't going away because of money. I don't know if anything could take my drive away.
attitude bull either excuse figure hand instead played separated stay together understand western win
I think we should have played better. There's no excuse why things got out of hand like that. We have to figure out if we want to win and come together and do something instead of being the laughingstock of the Western Conference. I think we're separated right now. Either we're in or we're out. If you in, let's roll. If you out, then stay out. For us not to have that attitude is bull (manure) to me, and I don't understand it.
felt home last thankful
It is, ... Last year, I felt like a tourist. This year, they made it home for me. I'm really thankful for that.
played sure
He'll tell you no, but I'm sure he (wanted it). That's only natural. He played great.
match plenty tough understand
We just didn't match their intensity, and you can't do that in this league. You know that it's going to be tough on a back-to-back, but we have to be better than that. We've had plenty of back-to-back and understand how tough they are.
commitment defensive numbers performed proof team worst
The proof is in the numbers. The numbers don't lie. I wouldn't say we're the worst defensive team of all time, but who would? We haven't performed well defensively and that's something we need to get better at. We've got to get stops. We've got to make a commitment to defense.
obviously pick saw
I didn't see the play that he saw, but he obviously saw something and jumped me for it. He doesn't like when any of us don't run. I had to pick it up.
moment number ready start stepped until
I didn't know I was going to start until the moment I stepped on that floor. You know when they say be ready when your number is called? Well, that's true.
excited feels good happy wait
I'm very excited to be back. This is the place for me. It feels good to be wanted and that they're happy to have me. I can't wait to get started.
body might rolling stays test tough tried
I just tried to make it tough on him. I try to test his endurance. Keep my body on him, because if he stays rolling like that, it might have been a different game.
best coming effort fourth game gave knew position win
Coming into the game, we knew we were going to be short-handed. We didn't know we would be without Ray. It was unfortunate because we gave it our best effort and we were in a position to win the game in the fourth quarter.
