time trying
I already had it in my mind. It's time for elimination. I'm the terminator. I'm in terminate mode, and I'm trying not to get out of it.
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.
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.
game takes time whatever winning
Winning time is when the game is that much more important. You don't just want to win. You have to do whatever it takes to win.
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.
body nervous time
I'm not as nervous as I was. The first time you do anything, you get butterflies. Your body feels, I don't know, kind of strange.
bang basketball season time
It's that time of the season when you need every game. You have to go out there and bang it out.
moment special television time
First time on television, we won. It was a special moment for us.
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.
