believe everybody forget gets good improvement people schedule shown team
We've shown improvement and I believe our schedule gets a little more favorable. If we keep everybody healthy, I believe we can (win 50). I think we're going to be a team that makes a real good push. Sometimes, people forget about what we can do.
backwards felt good san stuff thursday tried
It felt really good after (Wednesday's) practice. Then I tried to do more stuff Thursday when we were still in San Antonio and it went backwards a little bit. . . . It was my fault, I tried to do too much.
chance five forget good last noise people playing playoff talk talking team
I think we are going to be a team that makes a real good push. We have been a team that people consistently talk about for the last five years (come) playoff time. Sometimes people forget what we can do. I think the last 15 games, a lot of people are going to be talking about other (teams) while we are still playing well and having a chance to make some noise in the playoffs.
crazy good joke tom trying
I was just trying to joke and be myself. Tom is always crazy and I like to joke around. That's one of the good things about this school. You were able to be your own person and put in your own personality and yet you were part of a team.
division good great proved won
I say we can work. We won the division pretty easily. We had some pretty good stretches where we proved our dominance. I wouldn't even say I had a great year.
against beat continue good home played teams three top
We played against one of the top two or three teams in the league. We beat some very, very good teams during the streak. Now we have to try and continue our home dominance.
defensive good hitting job mainly offense people playing shots
We didn't do a very good job of playing through each other or through the people we should have been. And then we got cold. They were hitting shots and mainly it was a lot of defensive problems. But sometimes your offense is a part of the problem.
against believes certain cliff collins good jason lost people robinson
You know, we lost (Game 1), we give them all the credit. It's unfortunate that when we win, it's because of other things. You have to play against different people certain ways. Jason Collins and Cliff Robinson are doing a good job. It's unfortunate he believes that.
defense fortunate good hit looks night playing
It was just one of those nights. It was a combination of us playing good defense and getting good looks and good shots. We were fortunate to get them on a night where they didn't hit their shots.
ability felt good playing
It was just like the good old days. When I'm out there running, then that's when I'm playing my best. It felt so good out there. We showed that we still have the ability to get out there.
bit good run struggled
It was a good win. We struggled a little bit when we got the lead. We were able to withstand their run and we were okay.
crazy goes good playing primary score shots surprise
Vince is our primary scorer and that's his role. When he goes down, it's not a surprise that we score with a lot of crazy shots or play out of our heads. We're just going out there and playing aggressively and good things are happening.
contain early good job matter trying
We did a good job early on Dirk. It was just a matter of trying to contain him.
close easy good missed plenty
We had plenty of good looks, especially close around the bucket. We missed some easy shots.
