bad correct foot habits last ourselves sewing shooting start time
We're just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It's about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.
areas defense growing hard serious start summer teammates worked year
It's about growing up and that's one of the areas where I have to grow up in. I worked hard this summer on all of my abilities and that's one of them. I'm going to take defense very serious this year and if I start slacking off, I have teammates who will keep me into it.
coast feeling game great positive second since start west
It's a great feeling to start off with your first win. I don't think, since I've been here, we've done that on the West Coast trip. It's a great feeling because you go into the second game with a lot of positive energy.
feeling great road start trip
It's a great feeling to start off a road trip like that.
blown hang lose talent
When you look around the league, you don't see them getting blown out. They just play hard. They hang right there and they lose in the end because they don't have the talent that everyone else does.
We said 'what's up' to each other. It's all good.
against hand limit win
We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That's why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he's going to have a triple-double, they are going to win the game. We have to limit what he does to win this series.
fighting
We're not in yet. We are still fighting to get in, every night.
feet hit people somebody
We just have to live with it. He was 28 feet away and he hit it with somebody in his face. There aren't very many people who can hit that shot.
basketball energy floor good looking toward
Those players, they have a different way of playing. If they're looking at you and you're not with them, they think you're a failure. So I told Kwame he has to go in and use that energy toward the basketball floor to get in good with those guys.
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.
finish road trip
This (six-game) road trip is more important than anything. We have to come out strong. If we can come out strong, we will finish strong.
against basketball early glimpse level stand trying wants
Everyone wants to play against the world champs and see where they stand as a team. We get a glimpse of them early to see where we stand as a basketball club. We're not at that level yet but we're trying to get there.
