To average 30 against Detroit, that's a slap in their face. They're not going to take that.

Obviously our talent pool has picked up from a year ago. We got more talent this year. Nothing against last year's team but ya know certain guys came to the team and now we got the pieces where we can make a run.
against continue finish four fourth games good needed points quarter quarters row win
We needed a win bad. But we can't continue to play like this. . . . This has been four games in a row now. But I'm going to be positive. It was a good win for us. We needed it bad. I don't know how many points we scored in the fourth quarter (12) but we've got to finish fourth quarters off better. We'll take it. All day long. But we've got to play better against Chicago. Much better.
against atlanta bring encouraged focused good hard hats hunt lives lost played playoff reason sacramento wednesday wins
I was encouraged by the wins against Atlanta and Denver. And even when we lost against Phoenix, I thought that we played as well as we could. (Against New York), for some reason we weren't focused like we need to. We're in the playoff hunt for our lives right now. We have to bring out hard hats Wednesday against a good Sacramento team. We've got to play (well) or we could be out of this.
against great player practiced several tonight
We practiced against each other for several years so it was great to see him tonight and get to play against him. He's a great player and great friend.
adjust against body combat extra hard past people position rip saw surrounded
I never really got into a position to do anything. They always had an extra body around if I ever did get past Rip (Hamilton), which was hard to do in itself. They just surrounded me and I was never in a position to do anything. We've got to make adjustments to combat what they did against me because I saw (two or three) people every time. So we have to adjust that.
against best fell game great short tried
It was my best game ever, and in a loss. I just tried my best and played, and we fell short against a great, great team.
We have to buckle down and play for our lives.
guys shut three whenever
Whenever I got the ball, I had two or three guys around me. They were really concentrating on me, to shut me down.
flaws hot knew offensive run
We knew that we had to get out and run tonight. But I don't know of any flaws that we had in our offensive game. Everyone got hot tonight.
environment game home hopefully tough
We're going home now and hopefully that will help. It's a different environment. This (The Palace) is a tough place to play. Hopefully we can get home and we will be able to ante-up for Game 3.
advantage smaller tried
T.J.'s smaller than him, so he tried to take advantage of that.
signs standard strive
Those signs are the real deal. They're our standard and what we strive for in every game.
game home intensity playing playoff
This was a playoff game for us. The intensity was there for us. This is (inexcusable), playing at home like this. It must change.
