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.
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.
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.
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.
best games
All of these games are important. We have to take each one individually and go out and give our best effort.
coming extend focused half lead letting opposed second
We just focused on coming out in the second half and not letting up. We wanted to try extend our lead as opposed to just exchanging baskets.
focused move trying
We were really focused tonight. Even after the game, we were all businesslike. We did what we set out to do, and now we're just trying to move forward.
bruce himself letting skin
Dirk wasn't himself in letting Bruce Bowen kind of get under his skin a little bit. He's better than that. We're better than that.
playoff san team worry
We don't worry about what San Antonio is doing. We know we're a playoff team and we'll see how things fall.
road satisfied series somewhere team tying
We can't be satisfied with just tying up the series with this win. We're going to probably see this team somewhere down the road in the playoffs.
bad focus maybe teams
Maybe teams do focus on us a little more. But we just didn't play well offensively. It was just a bad night.
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.
