bearing couple exhibition games good last lost regular season start whether
Whether we play well or don't play well come Sunday, will have no bearing on how we've done this season. As I recall, we lost our last couple games in the exhibition season and got off to a pretty good start in the regular season.
capitalize last won
We've won 22 of our last 24. You play 82 games, and you don't like to say you didn't have it, but we didn't have it tonight. We didn't capitalize on our opportunities down the stretch.
came credit few good last
To our credit we came back and located him in the last few minutes, and didn't give him any good looks.
best close last minute pass seen
That was the best pass I've seen in the last minute of a close game.
bench extend game guys last situation stay
Last night's game was a big game just because it put us up (9 1/2 games) with 15 to go. Now we're in a situation where we want to try and extend our bench a little bit, get those guys more minutes, and get our guys where we can stay competitive and fresh.
defense easier four last minutes three
I thought the last three or four minutes our defense was impressive.. If we play like that for 48 minutes it would make things a lot easier for ourselves.
few games gone guys happened last minutes played plays team
I think what's happened is (starters) minutes have gone down in the last few games because of the play of (Antonio) McDyess, the play of Mo (Evans), the play of (Carlos) Delfino, the play of (Carlos) Arroyo. Those guys have played well, and if a team plays well, you keep them on the floor.
continue far few games job last throw
We'll continue to throw different things. I think the last few games we've done a better job as far as some of our rotations.
changed contain last league people rules touch toughest
Everyone can get better. You can always get better rebounding-wise. The toughest thing in our league is, with the way the rules have changed from last year, where you have to contain people out on the perimeter, and you can't touch people. That's always something that's very difficult.
biggest defense easier four impressed last played three
The biggest thing that I was impressed with was the last three or four minutes, our defense was (good). It we played like that for 48 (minutes), we'd make things a lot easier for ourselves.
eight last miss pop six
The last thing we need is for him to go out there and really pop it and have to miss six to eight weeks.
games improve last sharp six stay
The last six games you want to stay sharp and you want to improve in some areas.
came dog energy games happens last takes time traded
Dog days. Especially after the holidays. After the holidays, you've had some big games last week. So what happens is you come in and it takes time to get your energy going a little bit. I thought we came out and traded baskets too much.
four last sets
We've had, what, four sets of back-to-backs here in the last 15 days? It's been a grind.
