ball playing solid turning
We're not turning the ball over now and we're playing solid defense.
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.
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.
concerned played pull road
We played well tonight. We just didn't pull it off. But we're not really concerned about what we're doing on the road right now.
control felt free games played win
We played well tonight. We felt we had it in control at the end, and we just had to make some free throws. It was very important to get this win. With about 24 games left, we need every win we can get.
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.
adjust night pick ran
They ran one play all night and we never adjust to it - pick and roll, AI to Webber.
everybody familiar follow hoping lead nice people relief seen sit somebody tv watch wonder workers
A lot of them told me that they had seen me on TV and that it was nice to see a familiar face. If that makes somebody feel good, then here I am. You can't just sit there and watch it on TV and wonder what you can do to help. Everybody can help. I'm hoping that more people will follow the lead of the relief workers that are doing their part.
last older pieces players team third year
They got a more experienced team than they did last year. He's in his third year now, the players he's got around him is in their third, the young ones. So they got older pieces now that won't let that happen.
beat dominates perfect team
There's always that one team that dominates another team. For us to beat them, we have to play a perfect game.
basketball brand decided destroyed game played
As well as they played in Game 1, we thought we destroyed ourselves. We didn't play our kind of basketball. We didn't do anything we preached. We decided to come out here (last night) and play our brand of basketball.
grudge hold hopes pain pick
That pain from the Celtics is still in my blood. When they said they'd pick me with the 10th or 11th pick, they got my hopes all high. I usually hold a grudge for that.
