came confidence early high lane mistakes shot
The rook did (well). He came out and was confident. His shot was good; he got to the lane and did what he does in practice. (Jordan) let him play through mistakes early (in the season) and his confidence is high now.
aggressive attitude came good playing
We came out (up) 19-9, playing good defense, getting rebounds. We wanted to have an aggressive attitude from the jump.
broke call came easy fought free game gary hit line night throw within zone
We fought hard. It came down to another night with a call at the end of the game that broke our back. At the end, we went to a zone and Gary hit that three. He hit it and got the game within reach. From then on they got to the free throw line and got some easy baskets.
came miss missed shot
It went in and it came out. You are going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one but I am going to have more opportunities. Then there will be some happiness. I really thought it was going in. That's a shot I feel comfortable taking.
basketball came deserved fought game minutes miss missed
It went in and came out. You're going to miss more than you make in your career. I missed that one, but I'm going to have more opportunities to make them. ... I thought it was going in. It was there, just a little off. It just wasn't our day. We fought all 48 minutes of this basketball game and we deserved this win.
cameras critics follow people regular step tv
This is where you make your name. People follow what you did during the regular season, but what you do in the playoffs, it's all magnified. The TV cameras are on you. The critics are watching, so this is where you step up your game.
both came consider great league picked rival together
He's my rival because we both came in the same year, but it's like we're together because we got picked 28 and 31, so it's great when you consider what we've done for this league and our class.
good might pressure tried win
We tried to pressure the ball, take him a little out of his game, and see if things might happen. It's a real good win for us.

We just need to win one in order to get the monkey off our back against them. They just have our number right now. But we're gonna keep fighting them.

We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.
beat fighting takes until
We're going to beat them once. That's all it takes - is one time. We're just going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we get 'em. That's all we can do.
edge help hopefully last playoffs sharp
We're going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It's a whole new season, but hopefully that'll help us.
develop draft drafted game screwed second twice within
It was a loophole, and I slipped through it, didn't I? (The new provision) sucks. We get screwed in the draft and go in the second round, and if we develop our game within the first two years, why do we get penalized? We're getting penalized twice for getting drafted in the second round.
bounce gone percentage
I used to be one bounce and shoot. My percentage has actually gone up. I used to be in the 70s and now I'm in the 80s.
