game good playoff together
So we've got to go out there and play every game like it's a playoff game and play together like we're doing. We're doing a good job.
addictive growing
Once you get one - and when you're told you can't get them growing up - it just makes you want them even more. Once you get one, they're pretty much addictive from that point.
attacking chewed coach finally fired hard playing
Coach chewed us out because we weren't playing hard and we were lackadaisical in the first half. He fired us up and we finally started attacking the basket.
disrespect type win
No disrespect to Toronto, but you have to win these type of games.
again believe build few finish group guys home hopefully last losing next together year
Losing at home like this really stinks, but I still believe we can build off this finish come next season. Hopefully next year we'll have this same group of guys together again and we'll play like we have these last few weeks.
locker negative next players starting stops win
This stops the bleeding. Things were starting to get negative around the locker room, players were getting on each other. But we get a win like this, it relaxes us. Now, we've just got to come out and play and get the next one.
came couple dug game ourselves pressure shots slow stop third
We got it back down to a four-point game and Gilbert came down and made a couple big shots and Jamison, too. We started off slow and dug ourselves a hole, and when we got back, they put the pressure back on and went back up by 10 points. ... In the third we were making shots and they were making shots. It came down to who was going to stop the other first.
free points rebounds special work
He's a special kid. To go out there and have 28 points and 26 rebounds is special. Now all he has to do is work on his free throws. But with Dwight, the sky's the limit.
games kinds last looking lost sleep
We lost these kinds of games last season. If you're looking ahead, you sleep on teams.
win
If we go out there and play defense, we can win games.
agree ask chain decision everybody maybe money people spend stop though tough waste wearing wrong
I don't agree with it, but there is something wrong with that. I'm all for wearing suits, even though I don't wear suits. I think jewelry-wise, that's a decision on how we want to spend our money. I feel like people want that. People like the watches, the chains. Even when I go out, when I don't wear it, people ask me, 'Where's the chain at?' It's going to be pretty tough to get everybody to stop wearing their $30,000, $40,000 -- maybe more than that -- chains. It's a waste of money if we can't wear it where we want to wear it.
anybody head job shooting stop tough truly
I have a tough job every night. You can't truly stop anybody in this league. I just try to get in the other shooting guard's head and make everything tough.

I heard coach ask for a new clipboard. You got to love that. He wants to win badly and so do we.
days guys jeans nice people understand wanting wearing white
I can understand them not wanting guys wearing the jerseys and white T-shirts. These days you see people wearing nice jeans with a blazer. That's respectful, I think.
