defense effort extra fourth gave played quarter solid turned
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.
dug early fighting fights-and-fighting fourth quarter stops
We dug down deep. We got stops early in the fourth quarter and from there they were just fighting to get back.
coach devote forget four life linger media rather rest sit squeeze time whatever
We have this job, most players, four years. If you're lucky, you can squeeze out a 10-year career. After that, you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want. I'd rather devote my time when I have it, and after I'm done with this, there are other things in life and I can forget about basketball. Once I'm done, I don't want to sit around here and linger around and coach or try to get into the media stuff. When I'm done with the NBA, I just want to be done with it.
fourth half losing patch quarter second
We've been losing it in the second half and the fourth quarter lately. We just need to find a way to patch things up.
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.
four game hit row step
Chucky hit those four 3s in a row to get us back in the game, ... We would never have been in the game if Chucky didn't step up.
easier extra four last pass three
For the last three or four games, that's what we've been doing. The scorers are going to get their touches, but just making that extra pass makes it easier for us.
dad school four
A woman gave my dad $400 so we could get an apartment. We were living in a park. That's how we got started: Four hundred bucks, and look at me. When I donate a computer to a school, I never know what's going to come out of it.
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.
against fighting gonna monkey number order win
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.
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.
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.
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.
