everybody excited forward game knows opportunity playing region
Everybody knows it's for the region championship but at the same time, you've got to go play the same game you've been playing all year. We're excited about the opportunity and we look forward to the challenge.
close game home pick
With the game that close on your home court, we've got to pick up our defense.
build consistency feels finish finishing games good monkey trying win won year
We wanted to finish the year off right. We know we've been so close, and for us to get a win like this feels good - especially finishing 2005 off with a win. But we've won back-to-back games once this year, so I don't think we're going to get too high. I mean, we're still trying to build some consistency as a team. Hopefully, we got the monkey off our back.
close games necessary needed plays starting stretch win
We made the necessary plays we needed down the stretch and got the big stops. We're starting to win these close games now.
ball felt game good great groove guys second
I really got into a groove in the second half. Guys were getting the ball to me. It felt good to me. You know, it would have felt a lot better if we would have been on the other side, but it was just a great game to be a part.
team games trying
I don't get caught in the match-ups, trying to outduel somebody. It's a team game.
nba games talking
Listening and talking to my teammates has helped me learn the NBA game. I know that talent can only take you so far.
running thinking games
My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.
games bigger rims
The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.
sports thinking games
I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.
team player games
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.
team games giving
When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.
basketball zero games
The game isn't over till the clock says zero.
games people stores
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
