average five guard guy though
We feel as though we have five superstars. If we want one guy to go out there and average 30, we can do that. But we know what we want at the end, a championship, and we know one guy can't guard five guys.

coach job player running sideline slick stuff supposed talk trash trying
The only thing I know is he's supposed to coach his team. He don't need to be on the sideline running his mouth, trying to talk trash from the bench. He's not a player no more, he's a coach. His job is to coach his team, not to have little slick stuff to say from the bench.

afford awareness ball chance gives record seemed slept speaks time
We kind of slept on them down there. We can't afford to do that this time around; their record speaks for itself. We didn't have a chance down there. Once the ball went up, it seemed like we were down by 10 or 15 points. That just gives us more motivation, more awareness that we can't come out lackadaisical.
bench came execute felt floor fourth game great job keeping opportunity time
We just knuckled down. We still felt we had an opportunity to win. Our bench did a great job of keeping us in the game. When we came in the game in the fourth quarter, we just wanted to execute every time down the floor and we did that.

You go against these guys every night, there's not a whole lot of conversation. To get an opportunity to be on the same team and have fun with 'em is a great thing.

What was he doing, man? The ref is supposed to be on the outside of the court, not running down the middle of the court. Luckily, nobody got hurt.
