good help letter signed since skip
Since he signed a letter of intent, why not? He can't help that he's so good he just had to skip over and go to the NBA. He was on the right track.
breathing felt good nice
I felt good. It was in good rhythm. I think I still had a nice breathing to it. I never felt winded, didn't feel fatigued.
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.
deliver depth good guys night pressure score speaks
It speaks to the depth of our team. Guys are going to have off nights. Dirk's going to deliver more often than not, but it's good that he doesn't feel pressure every night to score 25 or 30 points.
defense good
It was some good defense and some good fortune. We'll take them both.
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.
basketball bit good longer played playing seem stretch
We've been here a long time. We seem to tighten things up on the road. We've been experiencing a little bit of a lull. But we played good basketball for a lot longer stretch than we've been playing not-so-good basketball.
best cylinders good hit sign
We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet.
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.
good held key offensive work
They got off to a pretty good start, and we were pretty much sleepwalking through the first half. Really the key was our rebounding and getting them to work on the offensive end. We started to get some second-chance opportunities, and we held them to one shot.
good harder nba plays team test
That team plays hard. You're not going to find any team in the NBA that plays harder than them. It was a good test for us.
attack couple drew good hit
Avery called a timeout and drew up some things for us to attack the zone. We did it a couple of times, got some good looks, and Dirk hit some big 3s.
basket came good knew might nick raise time
I was able to get him (Davis) off balance. I think he might of thought I was going to raise up and I was able to get a good pull-up. I knew I didn't have enough time probably to get all the way to the basket because I kind of squared him up but it came right in the nick of time.
create energy expect force good guys happen job quite step talented veteran wants younger
Our veteran guys have to step up. Our younger guys, we can't expect them to be there yet. As talented and as good as they are, we can't expect them to create their energy and their enthusiasm. Sometimes you've got to force it out of them and I think that's what Avery wants to see happen and that's what we've just got to do. Quite frankly, we haven't been doing as good a job as we need to be.
