The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.

Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.

We did a good job of taking away some of their strong points. They (usually) move really well without the ball.
focus shooting taken three wise
There's nothing shooting wise that I focus on. I just try to take what I'm given. As many threes as I've taken, I don't think there's a three I've taken that I didn't think I could make.

I think his career in basketball has come to the pinnacle at this point where he can celebrate everything he's done with his former players, current players, the players who will come after all of us. This is a testimony to how great of a coach he is, but as a person first and foremost just by the simple fact that he has this much support from everybody he's been around and everyone who's been under his tutelage.
ball chance focusing fourth good plays spread stretch turn
We were making good plays for each other and then I think we spread apart. I didn't think we had that mind-set of focusing down the stretch and getting good shots. If you turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, you don't give yourself a chance to win.
game good guys ourselves proved taking team trades
I think the team showed a lot of resilience. Even throughout, when the trades were taking place, we had guys in the game that wanted to be out there and played. I think we proved to ourselves we are a good team.

We forced them to take shots on the perimeter. We kind of took what they were trying to do away from them.
ball gets puerto san solid summer tim
Tim did what he did for us this summer in Puerto Rico, and what he's done for San Antonio all these years. He's just solid down the stretch. You get him the ball and he gets you a basket.
ask cheer coach sat tried
I don't know, you'll have to ask the coach about that. I just sat there and tried to cheer on my teammates.
anybody nba playing question team
I would give it to Nash. No question about it. I don't think anybody in the NBA is playing the way he's playing and his team is doing what they're doing. Take him off the roster and they would not be where they are.
