guess laughing
I guess that was his wannabe retaliation. I started laughing and got a (technical foul) for that.
good hit needed shots
Chauncey hit some big shots. He did a good job. He hit some real big shots when we needed it.
extra man playing
Hey, we're just playing, man. Ain't got nothing to do with being extra physical. That's the way we've been playing all year.
great help team wants
He's just a great player. He's doing what he can for his team right now. He's not getting the help that he really wants right now, but he's doing all he can for his team.
needs nice outside quick weight
He's quick and he's got a nice outside shot. He just needs to put a little more weight on.
bench cool flip problem starting
I didn't know what was going on. Flip said I wasn't starting and I was cool with it. I've come off the bench before in my career, so it wasn't a problem for me.
ahead bit flip freedom run says technical wants
We just have a little bit more freedom. L.B. is a more technical coach, who wants you to run your sets, but Flip says that if we see an opening, we should go ahead and attack.
coaches dunk focused high media nba people praise school team
There are lot of people in the media out here not focused on team play. We get more praise from high school coaches or small-college coaches about our team's play than a lot of media. I think the NBA is still more one-on-one, got to score, got to dunk and all that. That's not us.
last respect rug swept
We still don't get the respect we deserve. It's all right, though. Hey, it's cool. For the last so-and-so years, we've been under the rug. They swept us under the rug and the last two years we went to the Finals.
beat brag chip early given last night played playoff shoulder sit year
We know it's going to be a playoff atmosphere. We only played them once, and we can't sit here and brag and have a chip on our shoulder like, 'We put them out last year and we beat them early this year.' Because you can be beat on any given night in this league.
best goal ultimate win
Our ultimate goal is not to have the best record, but to win that championship.
emotional imagine paying tough
I think it was pretty emotional for him. He's a pretty emotional cat. I was just paying my respects. I can imagine it's tough for him right now, but hey, I have to concentrate on this team.
gym hit jersey missed ready shots tough
It happens. We missed some shots and they hit some shots. It's a tough loss, but it's not like an end-of-the-season loss. We just have to go back into the gym and get ready for New Jersey on Tuesday.
attention food front lose might paying swagger tastes
Keep us on the back-burner. We won't lose our swagger at all, because when you put that food on the back-burner, it's just simmering and it tastes better. When you got that food on the front burner, that's the one you're paying attention to the most, and that's the one that might burn. We're on that back-burner.
