consistent drop few good high knowing level loss losses lost
Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponents. We had that loss to Atlanta, knowing good and well we shouldn't have lost to them. Same with a few other losses this year. I tell you, if we play on our consistent high level, we'll be fine.
few last sit
That's really important as we get into the playoffs. We're going to get tired, we're going to sit down and won't be able to play the whole 48, so they're going to have to come in and do the things they've been doing the last few games.
carolina few good last rivalry
I told him, if they see us, you know, hey, Carolina will have to do their thing. That's been a pretty good rivalry over the last few years.
bit clutch few guys post presence rick
They've got a post presence now. They had a few guys who could post up before but not a clutch post guy. Now that he's back, I know that makes Rick feel a little bit better.
blocking body glad grabbing left shots
Body (Wallace) was blocking shots left and right, grabbing rebounds. The kid's a monster. I am just glad he's on my side.
bandwagon cats larry last people
Some people say that without Larry we won't get back, but he wasn't the one out there playing. It's cool, though. We know we're going to be there. It's going to be a lot of bandwagon cats at the end of the year, just like it was last year.
five ourselves people starting
Some people say our starting five is like an all-star team. But we don't see ourselves like that. We see ourselves as a unit.
damage fingers fist five four ourselves spread together
We don't see ourselves as four All-Stars. We see ourselves as one unit. It's like five fingers on a hand. You can do more damage together as a fist than spread out flat.
clock messed
That whole little clock thing had me messed up.
letting loose man run scoring
It does matter. We can't be letting the man run loose scoring 50, 60, 70, 80 points. That's not good.
defense
We just couldn't make a shot. We had to buckle down and play some defense.
extra man physical playing
Man, we're just playing. It doesn't have anything to do with being extra physical or nothing like that. That's the way we've been playing all year.
game last moral overall trying victory wins
We got the moral victory with the two wins this year. But they got the overall by getting us in Game 7 last year. We're just trying to get back to there, and get back what's ours.
hardware
We have an agenda. We want the hardware back.
