against chemistry definitely takes team year
I definitely think we have what it takes to make the playoffs. We've had injuries, we've had different things go against us this year a little bit. But every team does. You know, we just have to find our chemistry and our rhythm, and make a push.
agent atlanta four lake loved meet next overall people salt week wife
I'm going back to Atlanta next week to meet with my agent and see what he's heard. Overall the people in Salt Lake have been great. My wife and I have loved it here for four years. I'd love to come back but I know this is a business.
gotta home winning
It's tough, but we've gotta go home and live with it. That's part of the business. It's getting tougher, it's getting steeper. But if we go on a winning streak, we're there.
fourth game start
This is a big loss. This is a winnable game ? and we start off the game kind of poorly, and we didn't get it done in the fourth quarter.
close coming free game jump last missed open overtime shots throws
Coming off last night's game, we really didn't want to go into an overtime game on a back-to-back. We had our chances. We missed free throws and didn't close out on some shooters. You can't give open jump shots coming down the stretch.
came carried change coaster game happen lifted momentum nba playing roller
Momentum can change so much in the NBA and if you keep playing things can happen for you. I think the 3-pointer lifted us in the overtime. We had the momentum and we carried it through. The game never stops. We were down and then we came back. It was a roller coaster ride.
effort helped looked needed
Obviously, it would have helped to have Andrei tonight, there's no question. Defensively, he would have helped us out tremendously. But with or without Andrei, we didn't give the effort that we needed to tonight. They looked like they wanted it, and it just didn't look like we did.
games year
It's a big one. The most important games all year for us.
build business continue good hopefully losing monkey needed push tough winning
It's good to get the monkey off our back; we just needed to get a win. Losing is tough in this business today. Winning is great, and now hopefully we can continue to build on this and try to push for the playoffs.
break fine line rough trying year
It's up to a year that you don't feel 100 percent. There's a fine line of doing too much and trying not to rough it up so that it doesn't break again.
care move three win
It's three in a row. I don't care how you win, or if it's ugly, we got the win and we move on.
basketball coach crunch execute fighting good lead playoff says stop
We're fighting for a playoff spot. Coach Sloan says that playoff basketball is crunch time. We need to run a play, execute and get a good shot. It's frustrating to fight the whole game, have a lead and then all of a sudden, we stop doing what we did to get there.
good maybe sacramento streak winning won
We're still alive, we've won two in a row. You never know what happens. We could go on a good winning streak now. Maybe L.A. loses, maybe Sacramento loses, you never know.
ball biggest luckily lucky man mistakes rather shot stay supposed
We were supposed to stay with our man, but luckily he (Howard) shot the ball after the shot clock. We'd rather be lucky than not, (but) that was a letdown. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got a win.
