felt good half hear job keeping knocking looks low name open playing second shots
It felt good to be out there and hear your name called. They had 20 more shots than we did, but we did a good job of keeping the turnovers low and knocking down open looks when we had them. We did a better job in the second half of playing defense.
credit dallas good learn playing ran team trying
You just have to give Dallas the credit. They have a good team. They have been playing well this season. They ran into a team that has not been playing well, and trying to learn things that they are doing. At this point, it didn't show.
aggressive capable finish gotta kick knock opportunity playing step
You just gotta play. You've got to be aggressive at all times. If you feel like you have an opportunity to step up and knock down a shot, you've got to knock it down. If you have an opportunity to penetrate and finish the play, you have to finish. If there's a penetrate-and-kick situation, you've got to kick it out. I think he understands. He's just not playing the way he's capable of playing right now.
add continuity playing team
For us to add him (Francis) to our team is only going to be a plus. Then it's just about us getting that continuity and then going out and playing and getting some wins.
add bit bounce definitely excited feeling game lying nervous playing step york
I'd be lying to say it doesn't add to it to be going to New York. Every player, when they step into the Garden, there's a different bounce to that arena, a different atmosphere, a different feeling being in New York ... I'm definitely going to be a little bit nervous and excited about playing my first game there.
against bench definitely former guys obviously playing teams
Obviously you want to come back and play well. Guys that say they don't like playing against their former teams are definitely lying. So many guys on that bench did so much for my career.
guys home number playing supposed tough
Home is supposed to be where you're most comfortable. A number of guys are not comfortable playing here right now. You have to be emotionally tough to play here.
good looks pressure
We got some good looks at some shots, but they just didn't go down. Had they, we would have put some pressure on their team.
saying
I've never said that I wanted to play for another team. I'm not saying that now,
bottom coward fatigue four line played
Fatigue will make a coward of all of us and I'm not going to let that be an excuse. The bottom line is they played better than us for four quarters.
beat happens hate pro span toronto
Right now, they just have our number. There was a 16-game span when Toronto beat them as well. That's what happens in pro sports. You hate to be on the back end of that.
charge falling guy league normally reality seconds shot whether
Being around the league for a long time, who's to say whether it's a charge or not. The reality of it is, 14 seconds to go, the seven-foot guy falling like he got shot with a gun. Normally that doesn't warrant a call.
charge couple league normally time
Being around the league for a long time, ... who is to say if it was a charge or not? Normally it doesn't warrant a call, but any time you get a couple of turnovers like I had, the refs aren't going to give you any breaks.
along confidence finish games guys happens intend means sports staying strong trade vote
The thing about professional sports is anything can happen. Obviously, that vote of confidence along with it being after the trade deadline, means we intend on staying with the guys we got. I think we have 20-plus games remaining, let's try to finish them strong and we'll see what happens from here on out.
