attack boards boxing great helping job last man point running team teams year
We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards on us, ... As guards, we're going to have to do a better job of boxing our man out and then getting back there and helping out. That's how we can get out running and get into our offense.
everybody heat loses miami somebody three wins
If the Heat loses three and somebody wins three, they're right in second. But for right now (Detroit and Miami are) 1-2 and everybody is just chasing.
battle chance eastern five hopefully percent playing rest seal spot talent team time tomorrow until worst
We are not playing tomorrow so I'll have a chance to rest it and hopefully I can get back to about 80 percent before we play Philadelphia. Until we seal up that five spot (in the Eastern Conference), there will be no rest. I just have to keep going full-throttle until we get that five seed. We're getting banged up at the worst time and it's going to be a battle the rest of the way, but we have enough talent on this team to keep winning.
decided destroyed game ourselves
We destroyed ourselves in Game 1. So we decided to come out and play better basketball.
badly breaking team
We did our job, but when a team is doing badly it's usually because they are breaking down offensively. We were just there at the right time.
against charlotte drop face great row series three tough
We didn't want to drop three in a row before we have to face a tough Charlotte team. They always play us tough. It's going to be a great back-to-back series against them.
fun game last trash words year
We used to have our words down there, a lot of trash talking, ... It should be fun to see what he recalls from last year because I do have a different game from last year.
destiny fifth focus lay resting
Our focus is just like tonight. We know they are going to be resting their guys, but we can't lay down for that because we need that win. This is our destiny and we have it in our hands. So If we want to get the fifth spot, we have to go out there and play like it.
call fought game lose wants
It hurts. No one wants to lose a game where you fought so hard, especially with a charging call at the end.
close coach fighting fourth game jeopardize looked maybe sheet
I thought coach was going to put me back in but he just didn't. Once I looked at the stat sheet in the fourth quarter, but we were up 25. Maybe if it was a close game and we were fighting for the game. But when you're up 25, he's not going to jeopardize a player.
third toward weird win
It got weird toward the end on this one, but it was our third win in a row.
biggest difference played whatever
I think that the biggest difference is that we played harder, for whatever reason.
couple hopefully
I went through that play a couple of times in my head, what I should've done. You always do that. But it's going to be another game, and hopefully it doesn't go down to the wire.
against call falling five foul gets obvious replay rookie situation somebody watched weighs
I watched the replay five times and it wasn't a foul. It was a foul on him. I didn't even get the charge. He was falling before I even got there. When a rookie ref gets put in that situation -- somebody who weighs 215 going against somebody who weighs 165 -- it's an obvious call to make.
