build hopefully roll type win
That's the type of win you need if you are going to keep something going and get on a roll here. Hopefully we can build on it.
That's the one the referees let go way too much.
game last lost tough
That's a tough loss. It's very disappointing to have lost that game, the last game of the trip.
looked matter message possible send
I think the Spurs are going to play the same no matter who's out there. When I looked at the tape, I thought it's possible they'll send a message and (upgrade) it to a flagrant foul, but I had no idea they would suspend him.
changed guard guy kevin needed playing
That changed a lot. With Kevin out as well, the only guy we really had to guard Richardson was Ron. (But) still, when it happened, we weren't playing the way we needed to play.
beat explain four game gone hit shots three wish
I wish I knew. I wish I knew. ... I think we hit three or four shots right at the end of the game to beat them. They could have gone the other way. I can't explain it but I'll keep it.
last liked night saw shoot shot
I saw Brent shoot that shot so many times last night, I can't tell you. And I always liked Brent before.
game guys win
Our guys did everything but win the game.
biggest change energy given good halfway happening needed ron team trade
I think it's been a very good trade for us in that we needed a change in our season. What was happening wasn't working. Getting Ron more than halfway through the year, it's given us an energy level. That's been the biggest thing this team needed.
last work year
If I'm in my last year and things don't work out,
anticipate seems shooting
I did not anticipate them shooting threes that well. It seems like they've all got it going at once. If they're going to go 12 for 26 every game, it's going to be really tough.
basketball
I can't say enough about our basketball team.
ball moving playing sharing together
I don't think we're playing that well together offensively. I don't think that we're sharing the ball and moving the ball enough.
best certainly crowd definitely game playing road team
I don't want to be down 3-0 to the world champions. That would make it tough. It's definitely a game we have to win. ... They're the best road team in the league. When you're playing a team like this in the playoffs, they're not going to be intimidated by our crowd, but our crowd can certainly get us going.
