couple games last missed mix parts playing together
We have more interchangeable parts than we did last year. We just have to get all of these interchangeable parts playing together and cooperating with each other. I've been out for a while. Caron missed a couple of games, Antonio missed some games as well as Jarvis, so we just have to get everyone back in the mix and we'll be fine.
eight harder missed orlando
I had one of those in Orlando when I missed eight straight. It's harder at home.
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.
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.
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.
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.
moment special television time
First time on television, we won. It was a special moment for us.
motivation players prove
There's still motivation there. I've still got things to prove. I'm going to always have something to prove in this league. I'm one of those players who's just got to keep fighting, and I'm not going to give up.
