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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
improving stronger
The only thing we need to be working on right now is getting stronger and improving our seeding for the playoffs.
geared good playing race san talk toward worry
We would like to think that everything we're doing now is geared toward the playoffs. We know we're better than how we've been playing lately. It's been good to talk about the race with San Antonio, but we have to worry about getting back on track.
bruce everybody fair last letting move responsibility share taking team upset
We got a lot to be upset about. We weren't the team we were for the last 20-some games. We were stagnant, didn't move the ball, Dirk wasn't himself, letting Bruce Bowen get under his skin. He's better than that. We're better than that. So everybody is taking their fair share of responsibility for that game. We all did uncharacteristic things.
against guys san
We got a lot of guys who can get it done. We're still a little shorthanded. But if we get those guys back against San Antonio, it'll be even better.
bill rule russell tap teach
You have to teach him the Bill Russell rule and tap it to yourself so we can get on the break.
almost cap home trip
This would really cap off the trip to come back home and win. It's almost like a six-game trip.
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.
