adrenaline bench bring couple felt good hope needs night pick rushing second team unit win wins
It felt really good to win and it was really a team effort. I hope we can get a couple of wins in a row. The bench has to bring it every night and if the first team's adrenaline isn't rushing the second unit needs to get in there and pick up the slack.
fights-and-fighting
It doesn't look good, but we're going to keep fighting. Anything can happen.
That was huge, but that wasn't the play. It was the play after play after play.
ball couple great job love pick point pushing run running shot single sure takes time
We've got to pick our spots. I would love to get out and run every single play. But my job as a point guard, I have to make sure we get a great shot every time down. If that takes away from us running or pushing the ball a couple times down, I'll do that.
basically friends-or-friendship playing positive took trying watching wing
Me and Mike, we've been friends for a long time. He and Antoine (Walker) basically took me under their wing when I first got in the league. Basically he said he's been watching me and I've really been playing well. He's just trying to keep me positive about the situation.
raining weather weathered
You have to be able to weather the storm. We weathered it, but then it started raining again. Then it started snowing. Then it started hailing.
extra stuff taught watch willing
While I'm young right now I can still get taught a lot. Just get in and do the extra stuff like watch film with coaches. So if that's what I have to do, I'm willing to do it.
confidence shot teammates took
It was a big shot and I took it. My teammates had confidence in me.
good team win
It was a good team win and we'll take it any way we can get it.
bonding guys kevin teaching today
It's a lot of teaching, a lot of bonding from Kevin (Garnett) and the other guys on the team. Today was really like the first day of practice. It made it really fun.
bit carry closing games home job tougher
It's a little bit tougher on the road. Basically, it comes from not closing the games out. We're doing a better job at home than on the road. We just have to carry that out to the road.
broke losing road
We broke (the road losing streak) without the big guns.
basically easy guys learning looking point shots spread start starts
They told me, 'Just spread it up anyway. I'm looking at them, going, 'Spread it up anyway?' ... So I start doing that, and it starts working for me. Guys scrambling around and getting easy shots -- that's basically learning to be a point guard.
alone felt
That's how I felt out there - like we were alone in the woods.
