beat fair instead last rub won
It had nothing to do with the last shot, it was what he said. They won the game, but instead of being gracious, he had to make a smart-(expletive) comment. They beat us fair and square, no need to rub it in.
goal hear helps last maturity ready
I think the maturity of going through last hear helps us. We need to come out and get ready to go right away. We've been through it now two years in a row. This is our goal when we started out and now we're here to go about it.
couple course four last means separated teams three took year
I don't think it means much because we took three out of four from them the year before. The two teams through the course of the last two years are usually separated by a couple of baskets each game. It comes down to who executes.
bench brought duplicate last players record skilled team
I don't know if you can duplicate the record that we had last year, but I think we're already a better team because of our experience. Our young players will make our bench better. The ones that were here already know what they have to do. The ones that we brought in that new are pretty skilled players.
coaches crazy drives nice predicting
It drives coaches crazy because there's no predicting that stuff, ... That's why I have no hair. ... This is a nice win, but it's one win.
early energy everybody fresh fun happy legs looked played tonight week
I subbed early to keep everybody fresh and we got our legs back and played with a little more bounce. About a week ago we looked tired, but tonight we had energy the whole time. I was very happy with how we played. It was fun to watch.
bet career game nba notebooks player single studied
Jim's NBA career was all about determination. No one studied the game more. He had notebooks on every single player he ever faced. I bet he still has them.
afraid biggest bit found injury relief torn
My biggest relief was when I found out it wasn't a torn ligament. Not that the other injury is better, but a ligament injury is a long injury. I was a little bit afraid that we were in that realm.
best board game instead locker played stare wrote
I thought we'd play our best game (Sunday) - instead we played our worst. (Afterward in the locker room), I just wrote the stats on the board and let them stare at them awhile.
best disruptive game guess handle played point series
I guess I'm not much of a prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series today, and we played our worst. They're disruptive (defensively), but by this point in the series, we should be able to better handle it.
best game good guess played series
I guess I'm not a very good prognosticator, because I thought we would play our best game of the series (Sunday) and we played our worst,
gym ready shooting stretch turn
Well, we go to the gym tomorrow, ... we get a little stretch and get a little shooting in and we'll try not to turn it over by ourselves. Then we're just getting ready for Tuesday's game.
easy missed needed persistent shots team
We have a very persistent team here, but we didn't make shots when we needed to. We missed too many easy shots. I don't think we got any breaks, but we also didn't make our shots.
hard needed persistent shots team
We have a very persistent persevering team here, but we didn't make shots when we needed to tonight. They have what we wanted. And it's hard to take.
