anybody good job mental mentality remember talk toughness
We talk a lot about mental toughness and the mentality of approaching the game, and we've done a good job with it. I can't remember anybody not being ready, and we just have to keep doing it.
felt gets good shots
We have to find a way to score. We felt like we got good looks. I thought my shots were going in. When they don't, it just gets frustrating.
felt good
We have to find a way to score. Offensively, we just have to tighten some things up. We felt like we got good looks.
good shots
We feel like we got good looks. I thought all my shots were going in. When they don't, you get frustrated. We've just got to find a way.
beat good job run
We have to run him off his shot, we can't let him beat us. He's good but they have Wade, they have Shaq. We just have to do a better job on him.
both easier expect experience good huge last rookie second year
I expect a huge leap. They both had such good years last year, and you know from experience how much easier your second year is from your rookie year. We expect big improvements.
care definitely game good home winning
We've just got to take care of home court, a place we haven't been very good this year. If we can go into the All-Star Game with a three-game winning streak, it definitely would help.
finishing games good improve job quarters starts teams
Finishing out games and finishing out teams is something we need to improve on. It starts by finishing out quarters and we did a good job of that tonight.
corner fell good shot tried turn
First I slipped and fell down. Then I got up and tried to turn the corner but he (McGrady) bodied me up and I didn't get a very good shot off.
defense good great played problems since team worried
I've got enough problems; I'm not worried about what's going through his head. I just think it's just been really good team defense; our weak-side defense has been great since we played them.
good pull realized shots team
Everyone on the team realized that if we started making good stops, we would get right back in the game. We did that and made some big shots and we were able to pull it out.
against aggressive definitely felt good tried
We felt like we got good looks. I think they definitely made adjustments. They tried to be a little more aggressive against our pick-and-roll game. But with all that said, we just didn't do a good enough job.
bit good
As a team, I think we did a pretty good job. We just have to do a little bit better.
close defensive good nowhere supposed
Defensively, we were nowhere close to being good enough. That's what we're supposed to be?a defensive team. We just didn't have it tonight.
