feeling finding force great holding job pick plays team trying
I was just feeling my way. I was just playing; not trying to force nothing. I know they were kind of holding me a bit, so I had to pick my spots. My team did a great job of finding me. Really, there were no plays being called. We were just playing.
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.
against came certain guys last obviously picked pieces pool talent team ya year
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.
approach biggest effort game high pick
I think you have to. You have to approach it with a sense of urgency, more than ever. This is the biggest game of our season, so we have to come really enthusiastic and pick up our intensity. Give it your all. That's all we want to see happen, that the effort is at a high level.
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.
couple create easy excited
We did it a couple years ago with T.J.. I'm excited about that. I think it'll create easy opportunities for us to score.
bug good hit injury persevere quite record talent
We've been hit by the injury bug quite often this year, and it's kind of slowed us down a little bit. We still have a good record (15-11). . . We just have to persevere through it. We have enough talent to still win.
determined loved start
We were determined to start off well. Loved it. We need that every night.
hopefully worked
We'll see what happens. Hopefully we can get something worked out.
game great hanging job last minute team until
Our team did a great job of hanging around until the last minute so when we had to make a 3, we'd be in the game still,
