becomes game high size teams trap
If we can play the way we want to play, we can do it without (size). But if teams trap us into their game or take us out of fours, that's when size becomes a factor. It's important for us to keep it at a high tempo.
animals team wounded
I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. That was a team that was hungry. . . . Sometimes, the wounded animals are the most dangerous.
coach
I don't know what (the problem) is; I'm not a coach.
board drawing
I don't know. We'll have to go back to the drawing board and see what we can get done for Sunday.
bear grin guys man similar superstars time today understand
I don't know, man. It's tough. Just understand that your time will come. A lot of guys who are superstars today went through similar situations, so you just have to grin and bear it.
guys pick understand week
We're not doing anything different. Guys understand that if it's going to be a week or a month, we're going to have to pick it up without him.
expected
I'm a little surprised, yeah. I don't know that I would've expected us to be in first with that record.
definitely excited healthy last piece puzzle ready sure
We're excited about what we have already, but we feel getting that last piece of the puzzle will put us over the hump. We want to make sure that he's healthy and ready to give us everything he can give us. We're definitely excited to get him back in the lineup, without a doubt.
afraid takes
It's like they had us on our heels. That takes us away from everything we want to do. We can't be afraid to lose.
dallas emotions teams
Dallas and us are two of the better teams in the West. There's always some emotion.
building fans fun
It's a fun building to play in. They've got some really rowdy fans and its one of America's teams.
deep front frustrated pulling shots taking time tried
I tried to front him so a lot of time they'd go away from him. That frustrated him and got him taking the shots we wanted him to take - deep threes and pulling up from 25 feet.
floor good high knocked nice percentage playing running shoot understand
Its always nice to shoot a high percentage but I think we have to understand why we were able to shoot a high percentage - our floor spacing was awesome, we were running the floor and really playing unselfish. You're not going to shoot that well every night, we got to understand why we knocked them down, and that's a good thing to take away from the game.
attention critical detail early everybody five games good pay span starts sure time
This is the time when we'll see what we're made of. These are five games that we should win. It's going to be a long trip. Everybody will have to make sure we pay attention to detail out there on the road, get out to some good starts early hopefully. This is going to be a critical span of games for us here.
