against capable game great helping jersey league nba night player run single taking team
Every single night in this league you are going to run up against a great player who is capable of taking a game over and helping their team win, ... Now we're going to New Jersey and they have great players. Being in the NBA is not easy.
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.
caught hitting nights shoot six tube turn
When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.
adjust night pick ran
They ran one play all night and we never adjust to it - pick and roll, AI to Webber.
energy game lost night ready trying
It was just one of those night where we used a lot of energy trying to get to this spot. You know, it is just one game, one game out of a seven-game series. We lost the first one. We'll be ready for the next.
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.
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.
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.
