ability best difficult
For most guys, those are difficult shots. But he has the ability to make those kind of plays. The best you can do is make it difficult for him.
best focused game good growth playing stay win
We know that we aren't playing our best basketball, but we've done enough to win games. What would feel real good is to get the game in Chicago. I think that would really show a lot of growth on our part if we can stay focused and disciplined enough to get that game.
ability best continue figure finish given hard record responsibility season talent ways western wins work
We haven't given up. It's our responsibility to finish the season as if we have the best record in the Western Conference. The ability is there and the talent is there. We have to continue to work hard and figure out ways to put wins together.
balance best felt game games jason nice playing score win
There's still a possibility, and that's what we're playing for. This game felt really good. This was some of the best balance we've had in a long time. It's nice to win one of these games without Jason having to score 99 points.
ankle arguably best bit game hope player possibly rest though win
You see arguably our best player going out there to do everything he can possibly do to win a game even though his ankle is probably still a little bit sore. I hope that it does make the rest of us feel like we have to do something to help.
needed team trying win
This was a team win tonight. We needed it. I was just trying to get to the rim and I did.
balance few games good gotten literally lost minutes offense season stops won
What's been so disappointing about this season is not only that there has been a lot of games that we have lost, but that out of our 72 games, we've literally had 50 games were the game was in the balance and if we would have gotten a few minutes of good offense and a few good stops would have won the game. There has been a lot of games that we lost just like we lost today's game.
changes depends guys healthy job needed night position
What is needed changes from night to night. It depends on who is healthy or how different guys are playing. If you put guys in a position where they know they will get their opportunities, then guys get the job done.
against complete game good quite several sustain team together year
We got off to a good start, but we couldn't sustain it. We've experienced that several times this year and we've experienced it against this team before. We haven't been able to put together a good complete game in quite sometime. It's frustrating.
ability certain developed energy everybody gives helps looks player
Everybody just looks at his scoring, but as he's developed into that player he is now, a lot of it is just his presence. That helps our team. It gives us energy and gives us aggressiveness, gives us the ability to do certain things out on the floor.
capacity completion continuing criteria delivery early emerging high industry innovation key maintained mining move prices project projects prospects rapidly similar solid study tight time within
We have maintained for some time that Spinifex Ridge is rapidly emerging as a mineral project with solid prospects for a mining operation. With the continuing high world molybdenum prices there is a need for an early completion of feasibility work. WorleyParsons' industry experience, delivery of projects of similar scale, innovation and capacity to move through to a bankable study within tight timeframes, were key criteria in securing this contract.
basketball continuing credit deserved deserves effort guess oftentimes plays position proud team wins
I don't know and I guess I've been around too long to say we deserved it when we didn't win. The team that wins oftentimes deserves to win, so you can't take credit away from them for continuing to make plays down the stretch. I'm very proud of the effort of our basketball team that we put out there tonight. It's frustrating because we've been in this position so many times this season.
calling free front leads league maybe points
More scoring. That's what the league wants. Calling those fouls up front leads to more penetration, maybe more free throws. It's one way to get more points on the scoreboard.
aggressive instead shot waiting
When the opportunities are there, I'll probably have to be a little more aggressive offensively, instead of just waiting for a shot in the corner.
