games knocked lost might stage three
We might have lost three games but look who we lost to. It was a different stage for us, and we got knocked back on our heels.
bad defensive everybody game guy held leash offensive pulls seldom taking
Have I come out of the game making a defensive mistake? Yeah. He doesn't really discriminate. Everybody is held accountable ... He seldom pulls a guy for an offensive mistake, taking a bad shot, anything like that. The leash is shorter on the defensive end.
couple games last maybe opening quite year
None, quite frankly. Maybe a couple games just to get some rhythm. But it's not important. I didn't play in the preseason last year either, and I was there on opening night.
close games late normally
We're much better than what we showed tonight, especially late in the game. We normally close games out a lot better than what we did.
ball game liked
It was for JT if we could get him the ball because of the game he was having, or we would have liked Dirk to take the shot.
afloat found game good half huge job josh kept second ways
They did a good job on him early, but as the game went on we found ways to get him some shots. Josh Howard kept us afloat and then Dirk was huge in the second half and down the stretch.
couple final games guys happy leave resting season string teams time
It's a win, and you're happy with it and leave it at that. It makes the final couple of games of the season fun. They have something to play for, and we have something to play for. Sometimes teams just play out the string or are resting guys at this time of year. We're going to have something to chase.
advantage best close game last playoffs shoot throughout within year
It's a game within the game. We don't want to be close and all of the sudden, play as well as we did last year and end up with the No. 4 seed. So why not try to shoot for the best and have the advantage throughout the playoffs if you can?
capable defense flow games good indicative playing second winning
We know we're capable of playing good defense and actually winning games with our defense. I think Game 1 was indicative of that and (in) Game 2, we were able to get in a good flow offensively, as well as put good defense on them in the second half.
games starting sustain team throws win
This is starting to become who we are. We feel that we are going to win these games and have the wherewithal to sustain anything any team throws at us.
continues game good grow guys happy hope proud taking time
I'm really proud of the guys for taking time out to play in this game because it's for a really good cause. I'm just really happy how it went and hope the game continues to grow each year.
element flow game needles pins sitting starting waiting year
I like starting the game, getting into a flow early. It's like sitting on pins and needles waiting to get into the game off the bench. I've done it for a year and half. It was cool, but I feel more in my element (starting).
ball game goes playing shaking
The game ball goes to those guys. If they keep playing like that ... all I can do is keep shaking my head.
bit blow continue enjoy game good happened pun smile stack
A lot has happened in a day and a half, and we are still able to smile about it. I think that's the good thing about this game and this league. A lot of things happen and as long as you continue to smile and go out and do what we enjoy doing, everything's going to be all right. Sometimes you've got to blow the stack a little bit - no pun intended.
