channel counts david emotional energy goals head point regrets
Every point counts right now. I know David regrets what happened. We have to channel our emotional energy into emotional strength. That's got to be one our goals as we head down the stretch.
ball effect energy fact finish gives houston late minutes night plays possible pursue quite
I'd like to keep him in the mid-20s if there's any way possible to do that, because that gives him enough energy to really pursue the ball and finish off plays on the inside. I thought the fact that we had to play him 37 minutes the other night in Houston had an effect on that one play late where he got to the rim, but couldn't quite get it in.
build effort energy fans games great group healthier help last level light seven situation six starting win
We're in a situation now where we're starting to get a little healthier and that's light at the end of the tunnel. The group that we have is really making a great effort to do what they can to help us win. Right now, win or lose, I know our fans know what's really important to them and that's the energy level and the unselfishness on the court. We had that for the last six or seven games and that's something we have to build on.

As long as he plays with this kind of energy and force, he'll get minutes and make things happen.
defense defensive energy gave great hard huge job looks open played team tough
They didn't do a great job with the coverage, but, hey, the way Tinsley played tonight, he put the defense in a tough situation. That was a huge play because it was so hard for Jermaine to get open looks around the basket. It gave our team some energy at the defensive end.
defensive energy gave start
He wanted to give it a try, and he really gave us some defensive energy to start the third, which was big.
coming energy gives giving gordon guy instant last mobility move proved scoring size year
That move gives them more scoring off the bench. Gordon is a guy that proved last year he's instant offense. They have Chandler also coming off the bench, giving them size and mobility and energy there.
energy scoring second
Not only was he the scoring leader, but defensively he generated a lot of energy for us. Especially in the second half.
defensive errors kick ourselves terrible
We just made some terrible errors down the stretch. They got going and then we compounded it with some defensive mistakes. We'll kick ourselves -- again.

We just gotta try to continue to build on what's been a pretty good week of basketball and we've got one more opportunity before the playoffs start and it's important for us.
dig good job missed percent shoot shots team
We missed shots and didn't do a good job defensively. When you let the other team shoot 75 percent in the first quarter, you're going to dig a hole. We have to do better in all areas.
consistency defense establish intensity leads
We have to establish some consistency. We have to have more intensity on defense because that leads to opportunities on offense.
ball defend foul stay trouble turn
We have to defend better, not turn the ball over and stay out of foul trouble.
basketball finishing game gave good great half job momentum playing run second tied
We had the game going pretty well and we were playing good basketball. They made a run at the end of the half and they got the game tied and I thought that gave them a lot of momentum going into the second half. They did a great job of finishing off plays.
