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.

He encouraged me to keep my head up and keep playing.
came encouraged finished practice stayed talk
We came into practice (Tuesday) very encouraged about the win. We didn't even talk about how we finished the game. We stayed positive.
basketball case encourage guys mike needs sit trying watching wear win
I'm just trying to encourage everybody. Mike needs your help. I need your guys' help. I don't want it to be a case where you guys just sit around watching me trying to do everything. That's not going to win basketball games, man. And it's going to wear me out.
encourage game goes intensity involved next pick playoffs three
It's very important that we make it to the playoffs and that we pick our game up in these next 19 games. The intensity goes up and we've got to pick it up. It is new (to many of the Bucks). You just try to encourage them and tell them what's going on. I've been involved in the playoffs three times and it's a challenge.
We have to buckle down and play for our lives.

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

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.
bigger bit chase guy rip
We're going to try to put a bigger guy on him and have T.J. chase around Rip (Richard Hamilton) a little bit more.
