competition continues good job lose point team wrong
Right now, Marcus is our point guard. Marko continues to work. I think that competition makes your team better. Right now, Marcus is doing a good job and has done nothing wrong to lose his position.
four point tough
Right now it's not balanced. It's going to be tough to play four point guards.
chance game gave good medicine needed scratch starters worst
We needed a game like this in the worst way. It was good because it gave our starters a chance to play and not have to scratch to be in the game. It was good medicine for us.
hold playing time walk
We always hold out hope. Mathematically we're still in it. Every time we walk out on the floor, we're playing for something and we're playing for improvement.
decide dilemma fred front good nba office trying wants whether
I think right now Fred is just trying to decide what he wants to do, whether he wants to coach, be in the front office or play. I think he could do all three. He still can make shots. He's very knowledgeable of the NBA to be in the front office or to be a coach. It's a good dilemma to have.
basketball best shot somebody
I think he's making his best basketball play. I don't think he's being too unselfish. If somebody has a better shot than you, you've got to make the play.
block clean counted fight glad guys met people pulled stretch tonight
I thought it was a clean block at the end. It was a big win, a lot of people counted us for dead. I was glad to see our guys fight back, they met the challenge. Tonight the guys pulled together, responded and executed down the stretch on the fly.
close confidence excited game great guys hard run team win
I thought it was great for our confidence in close games, to come out and close the game, and win a game when a team is making a hard run at you like that. We're excited about it. The guys are excited about it.
both closing ends except execution game guys played quality stretch win
I thought we had a quality, quality game tonight. Guys played to win down the stretch ? except execution and closing out games, on both ends of the floor.
effort good hit ray shots stretch tough until
I thought we had a good effort until about a two-minute stretch when Ray (Allen) just went crazy. He hit some tough shots and some tough threes.
lost quicker
I thought we lost a lot of juice. I thought they were quicker than us tonight.
close games group point regain took turning
I thought that was a turning point in our season, (Wells') shot, that group of close games we had. I think it took a little starch out of us, and we were never able to regain (momentum).
against anybody kevin night playing seattle step third
I think a lot of it is we've got to get another third guy. Luckily, the other night against Seattle we had a third scorer (Eddie Griffin, 24 points). Right now, Kevin and Wally are playing at an all-star level, and we just need another person to step up. I'm not discriminating who it is; anybody can step up and get their minutes.
belief broke spirit together
I think all those together broke our spirit and our belief in each other.
