focused good group guys home last league remedy road separate team teams themselves veteran winning wish year
I wish I had the remedy for this. Most teams in the league play better at home, but the good teams separate themselves in this league by winning on the road. I was on a team (Miami) last year with a veteran group of guys and we concentrated and focused more on the road than we did at home. We're a young team and we've still got a lot to learn.
against beat game good nba next night supposed team win
One of the good things about the NBA is that if you don't have a good game one night, you can come back the next night and get a win against a team like Boston. We were supposed to beat Atlanta, and we had to come back and get this one.
best business came care everybody league teams took wrote
One of the best teams in the league came in here and everybody probably wrote us off. But we took care of business tonight.
anybody game given gratifying night team time win
It's gratifying for all of us because you just don't know who is going to do it from night to night. At any given time anybody on this team can make a play to win the game for us.
basketball care good playing team
When you're playing a good team like that, you've got to take care of the basketball.
best great language playing team unspoken
They have like an unspoken language when they're playing together. They're a great team, a championship team, the best team in the league.
business care early season taken team
If we would've taken care of business early in the season we wouldn't be in this position. Our team was a little different then.
both chemistry ends goes good team underrated
Chemistry is probably the most underrated thing in basketball. When you have good chemistry, your team usually goes out and executes on both ends of the floor.
good gratifying runs stay stepped teams
Good teams are going to make runs at us, but we just had to stay focused. It's gratifying because we stepped up and collectively got it done.
accepted carry challenge close everybody hopefully next note positive season team together
The challenge for us is to close this season out on a positive note and carry into next season. We've got a very young team and hopefully we can just keep everybody together because I think everybody has accepted their roles.
best bring college conference defense diving everybody five found guys leading league loose mine niche playing somebody taking team tight
You've got to find a niche to make it in this league and I've found mine on defense. Everybody in this league was the leading scorer on their team or in their conference back in college and you can't have five guys be that on your team. Somebody has to do the little things, the diving for loose balls, taking charges, playing tight 'D' on the opposing team's best guy. That's what I do. That's what I bring to this team.
needed overtime road satisfying shots stop stops streak tough tried win winning
We got stops in overtime when we needed them. Iverson is so tough to stop and you're never really going to stop him. We tried to make him take tough shots and make them take tough shots. It's a big win for us. To come on the road and keep this winning streak is great. It's very satisfying to get this win after working like we did tonight.
contain
It was tough. Defensively, we didn't contain Wade or Shaq.
