beginning came couple fortunate good miss percentage quarter ready simple third
We came out ready to play in the third quarter. We were fortunate that they had a couple second-chance opportunities at the beginning of the quarter that they missed. Sometimes it's that simple - make or miss - and we made a good percentage tonight.
sees
We'll know more after he sees the doctor. He's had it for a long time. It has to do with his toenail and having his toenail removed.
responsibility skill
Turnovers are a skill thing and a responsibility issue.
bad mistakes poorly shoot shooting
When you shoot poorly and you're a bad shooting team, all mistakes are exaggerated.
care thinking wasted win worrying
We're not thinking about that. You can only take care of today. Worrying about down the road, percentages you have to win that's wasted energy.
trying winning
You know what? It's about winning in this league. It's not about trying - that should be a given.
good player
It's unfortunate that it happened. He's a good player and a good guy, so tomorrow's a new day.

I'm not going to judge him for public consumption on that. I don't think that does anybody any good.
act fine foul game grown guy hate intensity love time
I love his competitive spirit, I love his intensity and I hate the way the game has grown to where you can act your way to calls. In hockey, I like (that) they fine, they fine for dives. And every time the guy exaggerates the contact, the foul would be on him.
effort five good pathetic played third three
No message, it was pathetic effort by all five of them. We played three very good quarters. It was unfortunate that it was marred by an irresponsible third quarter.
defense missing shots
It was part defense and probably them missing shots they couldn't make.
bit everybody
Everybody is just having to do a little bit more, and that's all right. We'll see what we have in this really challenging stretch.
basketball character combined five level opinion rare revealed talent top win
Everybody's got an opinion and usually misguided. They don't know him. What his basketball character has revealed is that his will to win is in the upper top five in the league, combined with a talent level in the top five of the league. That is a very rare, rare combination.
