hard hopefully last road work
Last year, we had a letdown. We didn't want to work as hard as we did this season, then give it away. Now hopefully we can do what we did on the road last year.
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.
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.
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?
early heels kept last
We didn't want to let down after last night. We got them on their heels early and kept it up.
bad last
Once we started missing, we started pressing. Just a bad night. Won't be the last one, either.
couple glad hit last rose shot sure
I was able to make sure we got the last shot and I rose up and hit it. I had a couple before that I thought were going down, but I'm glad I got the one that counted.
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.
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.
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.
