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.
absolutely crucial means miss sudden trouble
We absolutely miss him. He is crucial to what we do. When you get used to having someone like that and then all of a sudden you don't have him, it means you have to adjust. We're having trouble adjusting.
coach game guess heard helping somebody
I was the one who was helping him out. But I guess he heard from somebody that I told Coach not to play him in Game 3. It wasn't like that.
found freedom seem teams tough
It didn't seem possible, but they've found a way to improve. They have so much more freedom with the ball, and they still make it tough on teams with their defense.
breath catch few happiness happy help however past seem shock solid state
Some of them seem happy and some are still kind of in a state of shock over everything they've been through, ... I think they are just happy to be on solid ground. Get a meal. Take a shower. Just catch their breath after what they've been through the past few days. I just wanted to be here to say: 'Welcome to D.C. We're here to help you however we can.'
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.
driving game hear tried
That was difficult. I just tried to play my game and go inside. It was kind of frustrating, driving in and getting hit. I didn't hear any whistle.
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.
chip draft falling goes hurt point
That chip was falling off from the 2001 draft and now another chip goes on. You've just got to go out there and play. You can't let something like this hurt you. You know, 2001, I used that to get to this point and I'll use this to get further.
exposed fans missing onto picked players team voted year
I won't be picked by the fans because I'm not getting exposed like those guys. So I need to actually do work. Every year I'm going to have to come in and do my work. I'm not ever going to be one of those players who get voted onto the All-Star team after missing most of the season.
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.
