against guess internet saw
I even got on the Internet and saw how our cheerleaders are going against their cheerleaders (in an NBA.com poll). So I guess it is a rivalry.
involved team
I don't think it matters. Of those 16 wins, this team hasn't been involved in 15 of them. It's only been one.
attacking basket defensive plays three
He was attacking the basket and he was getting to the basket on them. At the defensive end, he made two or three defensive plays that were really unbelievable plays.
brad constant guys injuries mike needed shot
He made big shot after big shot, and we needed it. With the injuries and everything else, Mike and Brad have to be the two guys that are constant for us.
guy since together trade
We've been together since Day 1. So when you trade a guy like that, that was tough.
dangerous exactly games giving halftime second shot stop talked team third win
We talked at halftime that this was a dangerous team if you let them get back in it in the third quarter, and that's exactly what we did. We just couldn't stop them in the second half. They shot over 70 percent. You're not going to win very many games giving that up.
great plays tonight
He's a great player. Tonight he made the plays that they had to have made, especially down the stretch.
basically defend definitely gives great guy impact instinct physical shut
He's definitely had an impact on the way we defend because he is a great defender. He gives us a guy who can basically shut down people. He also does things you just can't teach. Every situation, he has great instinct and he has great physical ability.
attitude behind gives great guys hard high kid opportunity player playing terrific type veteran works
He's been a terrific young guy. He hasn't had an opportunity to play much because he is playing behind veteran guys but we are very high on him. We think he is going to be a player in this league. He is the type of kid who every day he comes to work. He works hard and never gives in. That is a great attitude to have.
both brings court ends energy hard player plays solid
He's been a solid player on both ends of the court for us. He brings a lot of energy and plays hard every night.
basketball excited playing start
He did fine, better than I thought. I think he was excited to start playing basketball again.
aggressive coming kevin practice shots taking
Kevin is coming out aggressive and taking the shots that are there. We see it every day, now he's just transferring it from practice to the games.
aggressive came gave guys kevin lift martin second step
( Kevin Martin ) came in, he was aggressive and he made shots. If we're going to be successful, we're going to need those guys to step up off the bench. He really gave us a lift in the second quarter.
bit came center dead free guy hit huge kenny leaving open second shot
Kenny came up huge in the end. He was the guy they were leaving open and he hit that one shot with a little bit of luck, then the second one was dead center and he hit the free throws.
