We still need to prove that we're still a top-notch organization. We're going towards that road. I don't have PlayStation in my locker, flat screens or DVD's in my locker.

conference exciting finals question series western
There is no question that series would be exciting to play. Not only for the Western Conference finals implications but also for the rivalry.
blew few guys line team whistle
The referees blew the whistle a lot. Anthony got to the line a lot. Our guys on our team got to the line a few times.
clear lie playoffs rather
I just wanted to get out of Dodge, clear my mind, not think about the disappointment anymore, lie on the beach. I'd rather be in the playoffs any time.
against break defense help hurt knocked open pulled screens shot terrible time tried
His long-range shot really hurt us. His 3-bombs were devastating. Every time we scored and tried to make a run, he pulled up on the break and knocked one down. And that put it out of reach. But the defense was terrible against Miller. We didn't help out enough on the screens and he was getting open looks. It was disappointing, because we know he's a shooter.
guy
Can you play with a guy like that? Heck, yeah.
erased great lead might three
In the past, we might have folded, but we erased that 12-point lead and we're up three at halftime. It's a great, great feeling. It's much different than before.
close practice time
In a close game, I think we're going to try to win. I think we need practice at that. There's no better time than now.
fresh helped
It helped them that they had a lot of fresh bodies.
bring contend expect
If we want to contend with the upper-echelon teams, then we have to play well (Wednesday) and expect to win. They're going to be revved up at home, so we got to bring it.
approaches ball coming evident giddy man pass remind slim wants
I don't know if it's because he's slim or what, I thought he'd come in a giddy guy. But he's serious. He wants to play, and wants to play well in this league. It's evident in the way he approaches things ... and man can he pass the ball. Sometimes you've got to remind yourself that he's on the court, because the ball could be coming your way at any time.
saw
I didn't see the game, but I saw the highlights. It's still kind of incomprehensible to me. Eighty-one, whew!
close deny door knew
We knew that play was coming. We were going to close the door and deny all options.
