ball fit gets jones plays runs shoots system
I'm a big Jones supporter. Every year, he gets better. I think he can fit right into the system because he plays different positions, shoots the ball well and runs well.
earlier excited feeling fit game opened
I was excited that the game kind of opened up, and I was able to see where I fit in. I wasn't necessarily feeling that earlier in the week. We were really spaced, and the game kind of flowed (Saturday) night.
allowed guy pushes pushing
I'm pushing, pushing the guy as much as I can to get him a little. So when he pushes me, you're not allowed to do that. I'm going to fall.
best felt reinvent weather
The best thing is we never felt down about anything. We just weather it and reinvent ourselves.
add elated great opportunity whatever
I'm elated to have an opportunity to come there and play with that cast. I think I can add to an already great team. I just want to come in and help, whatever it takes.
involved until
I hadn't been involved in too many like this until I got here.
ball incredible movement open transition wide
It was one of those nights. We were able to get out on transition and the ball movement was incredible so everyone got wide open looks.
defense double kurt position post puts
We have to double the post now. When you have Kurt down there, you don't have to do that. It makes you have to rotate and puts you out of position on defense and for rebounds.
best home run
We withstood their run and we were able to counter. You always want to do your best at home.
game imposed speed
We imposed our will on the speed of the game which is what we need to do to win.
chris expected game slower work
We expected the game to be slower without him. We thought that they would try to work Chris Webber a little bit.
far green light lights
Do we have the green light here? As far as green lights go, it's about as green as you can get.
kids marketing nba people sell wrong
We sell to kids and people who are into the NBA hip-hop world. They may be marketing to the wrong people with this.
against early easy establish guard night ourselves
We wanted to establish ourselves early and let them know we were here to play. It is easy to have a letdown the night before you go on the All-Star break, but we wanted to guard against that.
