confidence giving heard kept knock shooting telling tried
They had confidence in me shooting the ball. They kept giving me the ball, and I heard them telling me, 'Just shoot it.' I just tried to knock them down.
confidence knock situations
It's not just that play, in situations like that when Yao is doubled, he has confidence to get it out to us and we have confidence to knock it down.
catch coming cool
They're all coming to the game, so that's nice. I haven't been able to see them yet, but I'll catch up with them later. It's cool they'll be here, though.
guard saw
They saw that I couldn't guard down low, and they were scoring.
effort happen hard heads high injuries stick trying work
We keep having unfortunate things happen to us with injuries and everything, but we're just trying to stick with it and keep our heads high and play as hard as we can. We don't have a lot to work with, so effort is going to have a lot to do with us winning. We have to play as hard as we can so we can get some wins.
ball benefit double doubling tried
When they didn't double him, we tried to get the ball to him as much as we could. We try to get him the ball anyway, but it was a benefit when they're not doubling him.
anybody
We don't have the firepower to outscore anybody right now.
bad call luck
When I want to make, I miss, and when I want to miss, that happens. You can call that luck or bad luck.
against competition games last playing type
Our last two games are against the same type of competition (as Memphis), or even better. It's all about just going out there and playing hard.
ball both felt good guarded
It felt good because we were doing it on both ends. I think that was the key. We guarded and did the right things on offense, like getting the ball to Yao.
bad game missed plays turned
We made bad plays down the stretch, missed some plays that could have turned the game around.
everybody hard mistakes practice wants
We know that we're better than that. We play hard and everybody wants it so bad, our players, coaches, and everybody. We try hard in practice and everything, but it just comes out the same. The same mistakes we always make.
court excited guard steve tired
I'm so excited that I don't even think about being tired. I mean, you get on the court and you're like, 'OK, I have to guard Steve Nash tonight.' How can you be tired going into that?
beat best good intensity played playing plays
We're playing with more intensity and we're playing harder. If we keep doing that, we're going to beat most teams. If Yao plays the way he played tonight, and if we could get everyone to play with him to the best of their ability, then I think we could be a really good team.
