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.
few fighting hard kept last loss stretch
It's a hard loss for us to take, man. Give them credit. Arroyo made a big play at the end of the game. We kept fighting back, but couldn't get nothing down the stretch in the last few seconds.
believe hard stop
It's one thing to believe, and it's another thing to actually do it. I can believe all day. But we've got to actually do it. We've got to play hard and try to stop their fast-break points.
bring chicago hard intensity knew match plays win
We knew we had to win this game. Chicago always plays us tough. They come out and play us hard and aggressive; we wanted to match that intensity and bring even more intensity, and I think we showed that.
boston eager hard knew momentum played ride type weird win won
We played well to get the win. This was a weird game. It was a hard grind-it-out type of game. We knew Boston would be eager to come here and ride the momentum of how they won the other night. It was a big win for us.

I like our future. I like the potential. It's going to be great, ... I want to stay humble, continue to work hard at practice ... staying together in tough times and tonight was the test of tough times, and we passed the test tonight.
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.
good-things hard ifs
I know that good things will happen for me if I keep working hard.
attitude hard-work winning
I work hard and have a winning attitude.
afford cannot couple few fourth happened last minutes slow starting
We're starting off slow (in the fourth quarter). The first couple minutes we just floundered away. It's happened to us the last few nights. We cannot afford to do that.
hit night open rhythm
We struggled. We had a lot of open looks, but it wasn't our night to hit them. We just never got in a rhythm from the three-point line. But once again, we try not to live by that.
bit game shot shots struggled
We struggled in Game 1, and shot a little bit better in Game 2, but not enough. We need to make shots with this team. That's what we do best.
game knew lose lost tonight washington
Wow, I didn't know we were up that much. I knew we were up a lot. It's frustrating to lose this game, especially a game we had to have. Washington lost tonight so we could have made up ground.
eight exercise game gotten great job knew nine phoenix pushes three won
We knew we would get our exercise in this game. Phoenix consistently pushes it and we just got outran. We could have won this game if we could have gotten down to eight or nine in the fourth, but they did a great job with (using) the three as a dagger.
