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.
knows last matter pulled seven together trying worried year
Four, five, six, seven seed, who knows who's going to play each other? It doesn't matter who we play, we're not worried about that right now. We're just trying to come together as a group. Last year we didn't have home-court advantage, and we pulled out a win.
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 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.
both came consider great league picked rival together
He's my rival because we both came in the same year, but it's like we're together because we got picked 28 and 31, so it's great when you consider what we've done for this league and our class.
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.
