bad good raise rarely selective shots
I know what's a good shot. I rarely take any bad shots. I'm not just going to come down and raise up a three. I'm very selective on what shots I take.
allowing flip game good job putting slow spots start
It was just a game we wanted to get, ... We didn't want to start off slow and sluggish. Flip did a good job of putting us in spots and allowing us to make plays.
felt good stayed stick
The thing about us, we didn't panic, we just stayed with it. We felt as though, if we just stick with our offense, good things will happen.
couple days good happy hopefully next tomorrow
It's getting better. I'm happy that we had a couple of days before the next game. Hopefully I'll feel good by tomorrow night.
good great guard hurt michael sure tough
They're a good team, man, no doubt. Michael Redd is a great scorer who can really hurt you if you don't guard him right. We're going to have to play tough to make sure he doesn't get off on us.
good hit job pulling second shots top
We just didn't hit our shots in the second half. That's why they are a top 10 team. They have a seasoned coach, and they did a good job of pulling off the win.
good moving strengths
I am able to use different strengths that I am good at, like back-door cuts, ... It's just a lot of moving without the ball, and that's something that I have always done pretty well.
everybody five good says superstars
The good thing about us is, we feel we've got five superstars out there. Everybody says we don't have a superstar. No, we've got five superstars.
ball guard hands hits keeps point run shots teammates tough wants
In my career, going back to Connecticut, I've never run into a point guard like Chauncey. He wants the ball in his hands in every tough situation, and he hits big shots and still keeps his teammates involved.
ball guard hands played point shots situation teammates tough
In all my years, going back to Connecticut, I've never had a point guard like Chauncey Billups. I've never played with one who wanted the ball in his hands in every tough situation and who could make big shots and keep his teammates involved.
feels fight
It's sore. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. But these are the playoffs. You've got to fight through it. I'm going to get through it.
healthy ready
Everyone is healthy and ready for the party. That's good.
averaged bigger everybody five guard guy points says
Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five.
anybody beat chance concerned record teams thinking trying win
Not at all. We can only be concerned with ourselves. We are just trying to win every game. We aren't thinking about anybody else's record but our own. All you can do when you have a chance to play these teams is to beat them.
