avoid best detroit east good playing team teams three trying
Obviously, we all know that Detroit is the best team in the East right now. They're playing good basketball. All three teams are trying to avoid Detroit.
continue feeling finding good hard helping looking playing team
Stephen and I are still feeling each other out, finding out what each other does and when we do well continue to get better and better and the team will get better and better. We just need to keep playing good defense, looking for each other, playing hard and helping each other out. Very important win.
basketball goes good played season team
We haven't played good basketball all year. Hopefully, we will play better as a team as the season goes on.
aggressive ball came control giving good job moved open ourselves playing pressure team took
We came out aggressive tonight. We moved the ball well and took control of the boards. I think our team did a pretty good job on defense. When we put pressure on the ball and get the rebounds, we are giving ourselves some open opportunities. We have to keep playing well and see what happens.
build game letting quit teams turned
(It was a) very important game for us tonight. We had to come here and get it turned around right now. We've go to quit letting teams back in the game when we build up leads.
believe team
I still believe this team has a lot of potential, and if we play to our capabilities we can be fine.
bit felt game gets plays reviewing second teammates time
This is my first game. I just got a feel for my new teammates and they got a feel for me. We've got to keep working. You think you know the set plays after reviewing them in practice, then the game comes, and it gets a little bit confusing. I think with time it's going to get better. In the second half, I felt more comfortable.
huge
Those turnovers were a huge factor. We just have to be more patient.
cannot eight energy focus four last minutes seven sudden turn
We cannot be down seven or eight in the last four minutes and all of a sudden turn things around. Energy and focus has to be there for 48 minutes.
almost home magic reason winning
Unbelievable. He is averaging almost 20-20 every night. He's the reason why the Magic are winning at home.
care dress
I don't care about that dress code. When you always look good, it's not a problem.
imagine
I can imagine him coaching, ... but I can't imagine him in a suit.
los reminds since winning
Since he's come back, he's been an unbelievable player. He's so much better this year. He's unstoppable right now. He reminds me of when Shaquille (O'Neal) was winning championships in Los Angeles.
feels hoping
It feels better because I didn't do anything (Wednesday). I'm hoping I'll be able to play. We'll see.
