blocking coming fighting fights-and-fighting playing
Brendan is coming out and playing hard, blocking shots, getting rebounds. He's actually fighting in there.
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.
elite mind playing work
You know, it happens. I'm playing like an All Star, and I know I'm one of the elite players, so if I don't get picked, in my mind I'm still one of them. If I don't go, then I get to work out.
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.
easy everybody force hitting playing score supposed team
With that lineup, I'm supposed to be scoring. (But) I didn't try to force anything. I really didn't have to go out there and score -- everybody was hitting shots, getting easy baskets and playing team defense.
enjoying feeling games happy playing season since six together
We are enjoying playing together again. We haven't had this feeling since the first six games of the season where we are actually going out there happy to play.
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.
beginning holding playing season teams
This is how we were playing at the beginning of the season when we were holding teams to 85 points. If we can keep playing like this, we'll be pretty good.
coach playing
Coach said, 'Throw away the plays. 'Throw away the plays?' All right. That's like playing outside.
ball close easy games good happened happy moved playing stuff together took
After the close games we've been playing it was good to just come out, put it all together and put one away. I was happy that we didn't let up when we got the lead. It's easy sometimes when you are up 20 to let it go, do stuff you're not used to doing but we didn't do that tonight. We took good shots, moved the ball well and good things happened for us.
defense playing sharing trusting
We're playing together. We're sharing the ball. We're trusting each other on defense and on offense.
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.
