doubted great playing
We're going to be doubted when we come back like we've been doubted the whole year. We just have to know when we come back, we have to keep playing great basketball.
chance defense everybody great guard hell job team
We did a great job with our team defense on him. Everybody who had a chance to guard him did a hell of a job.
advantage ball defense great hands last played playing team tired winning
We wanted to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible. Through this whole winning streak, we've been playing great team defense. The last two times we played the Lakers, we didn't play great defense and let them take advantage of it. We got tired of it.
attention basketball great hopefully ourselves pay playing playoffs trying
I don't even pay attention to that any more. We're just going into the playoffs trying to get ourselves better. We want to keep playing great basketball like we've been doing and hopefully end up playing in June.

coach drew great memphis
It was a great play. It was something coach (Avery Johnson) drew up, we used it in Memphis too. That's two for two for us.
great hard help job whatever work
It's a great compliment. All I do is come here and work hard and try to do whatever I can to help us win. Hopefully, that makes his job easier.
came finding good great guys mavericks playing
We had some good looks. Guys were finding each other, we were just playing great Mavericks basketball. We came out and put them away early.
ear great people
A lot of people still don't think we play great defense. We let that go in one ear and out the other.
finished great hard needed players playing team twice
They have great players on their team and they don't quit. We had them up by 10 twice and just couldn't put them away. It's hard like that when you have a great team like that your playing against. We finished it out when we needed to at the end.
great people thanks whatever
I think we're a great team. Whatever people are saying, thanks for the compliment.
coach communication defensive great scheme team wants
That comes with that communication and the defensive scheme we've been working on all year. It's just been great team defense. If we communicate and do the things coach wants us to do, we win.
asks clicking coach continue defense defensive great grow learn level offense percent win
I'd say we are at about 80 percent right now. I still think there's a level or two that we can still reach, especially on the defensive end. Our offense has already been clicking and doing a great job. We showed that during the win (13-game winning) streak. Our defense is improved. We just have to continue to grow and learn each other and do what coach asks us to do.
bad feeling good gym taste tomorrow
It wouldn't have been a good feeling because we wouldn't be able to get into the gym tomorrow and get that bad taste out of our mouths.
