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.
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.
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.
diving game hard hustle knew took win
We knew if we were going to win this game we were going to have to go out there and play hard and make those diving plays, those hustle plays. And that's what we did to get back into the game and took it from there.
knew slow win
We knew if we wanted to win the game, we had to slow them down a little bit.

We just knuckled down a little bit. Just stepped it up on D a little bit more and boxed out. Just made a little bit of hustle plays.

Body (Wallace) was blocking shots left and right, grabbing rebounds. The kid's a monster. I am just glad he's on my side.

I don't have the slightest (idea), but they better come up with something.
trying whatever
I don't know what they were trying to do. But whatever it was, it didn't work.
care change coming number
I don't care about that number 16. Y'all should know that coming from me. It ain't going to change nothing about us and what we doing. Y'all should know that.
care cheering home
I don't care about No. 16. I'm just going to be cheering from home.
figure locker recognize talking trying
Me and Chauncey were talking in the locker room. We are trying to figure out some way to recognize him.
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.
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.
