jump open shot taking
I was just getting some open shots. I was just taking the jump shot when I had it.
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.
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.
defense gives shots
I was just getting a lot of shots tonight. You take what the defense gives you.
fight game great left move physical seem took
It didn't seem like they had too much fight left in them. It was a physical game and I thought we took it to them. It was a great win, now we move on.
beginning good spot team tough watch
We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.
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.
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.
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.
games year
It's a big one. The most important games all year for us.
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.
