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.
rally stand teammates thinking
We were already up big, so I'm thinking that's why he did it, to get his teammates to stand up and rally off of that. It didn't work.
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.
came locker room team
Not really. That's nothing that ever came up in the locker room or in team meetings.
game harp ourselves physically prepare team veteran
Not really (anything different). We're a veteran team and we know what we need to do to prepare ourselves for the game physically and mentally. So he (Saunders) doesn't need to harp on anything specific.
great team
It's great recognition for what our team has done.
cool couple excited game playoffs regular since teams waiting
It's cool. It's what we've been waiting for all year. The regular season, you know, we got up for a couple teams but we weren't excited about the regular season. Now that the playoffs are here, this is what we want. This is what we've been waiting for since Game 7, so go out there and do it.
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.
bit boxed hustle stepped
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.
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.
slightest
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.
