best good job nba
The NBA is the best job in the world, ... and you have to look good in business.
best definitely teams
My '99 squad, that was one of the best teams we had in a while over there. We could definitely take this year's team. We'd get after those guys.
best definitely effort games road trip
It's one of my best games - definitely up there. We didn't want to come off our (4-2) road trip and be disappointed with our effort at home.
best
We're 5-1 but we're not happy. We didn't play to the best of our ability.
averaged best davis east expect fourth indiana learned nine rookie second team time whatever
That's the way it should be. I learned that my rookie year. I averaged 20 and 10, while Dale Davis averaged nine and eight. He was on Indiana and they were in second place in the East or whatever and he got the All-Star nod. This time we're the fourth best team in the West, I expect to be there.
city learning longer statement
It's no longer a city thing. It's a playoff-seeding thing. No more statement games. No more learning from losses.
behind finish memphis sixth
I'm not going to try to lose. But if we finish behind Memphis with the sixth seed, we're better off.
early great position teammates tone tried
It was a great win. I tried to set a tone early and my teammates put me in a great position to score.
time win
It was pretty, and then it got ugly. It was a long time coming, and it was an important win for the organization.
doubling finding guys hard kept mind positions score sharing
I wanted to set a tone, I really wanted this game. They kept finding me in positions I could score and once they started doubling me really hard on the catch, there were other guys open. I didn't mind sharing the rock.
adding bench coming defense entire great guys holding lead playing
It's been great having that bench threat. We haven't had that the entire season, so to have all those guys coming off the bench - not only holding a lead but sometimes adding to a lead and playing defense - it's great for the starters.
feels position tough
It's been tough over the years, so to be here in this position feels good, but we have a lot more to accomplish.
bounce great knock shoot
It's disappointing, but we'll bounce back. I'm very optimistic. As a team, we didn't shoot well. Personally, I got great looks, but just didn't knock them down.
eliminate guess might ourselves teams
That might have been for the past, for teams that weren't winning. I guess Chauncey and I might have to eliminate ourselves from that poll.
