basketball both ends felt finish floor games good last playing
We just have to see what we did back then, and see what we're doing now. We're going to have to finish the last games off strong. I felt pretty good out there. Right now we're not playing both ends of the floor each game, only sometimes.
bad both chances check couple ends felt game playing tape today watch weeks
Today it was just a bad game. I'm just going to watch the tape and see what we did wrong. I felt pretty good. This game was a lot of errors, I just have to check it out. We had a lot of chances to still win. We've got to get back to how we were playing a couple of weeks ago. We're not playing both ends (of the floor) every game, only sometimes.
both kindness knack players separates strong tough trying
They both have a knack for making tough shots, and it kind of separates them from all the other players. They?re really quick, strong and can jump. So it separates them from all the other players that?s trying to get to where they are.
bit bother couple fatigue games
It's going to take me a couple of games to get into shape, but I'm a fighter. I'm not going to let a little bit of fatigue bother me.
coming energy games home ready road san sure
There are going to be a lot of road games coming up. I'm sure San Antonio is going to be ready for us, so we've got to come in there with a lot of energy and confidence. We're on the road this whole playoffs, so that's where we've got to win. We've got to make it our home away from home.
arena energy
We've got to find energy in an arena that is not our own.
ourselves
We've just got to give ourselves a chance.
best game legitimate san shot team took win
We had a legitimate shot (at a title). We would have been the best team in the East, and (Detroit) took San Antonio to Game 7. That could have been us. I wouldn't say I feel guilty. I just feel I have to win a championship.
hear playing team waiting
You hear about them, but you never know what's true. I'm just waiting to find out which team I'll be playing for.
bring fine guys hard home intensity kevin playing stepped stepping trip
We've been playing really hard at home and guys have been stepping up. Kevin stepped up again. We just need to bring this intensity with us on the road. I think we'll be fine on this trip as long as we play hard.
attention people
We've had people's attention (for a while). I think people are going to come after us like we're the No. 1 seed, like we're favorites.
ball came care guys played took
We've got a lot of guys who play to win, ... We were down, but we didn't give up. We started out slow, but we played hard, took care of the ball and came out ahead.
team underdogs
I don't even think we're the underdogs any more. I think we're the team to beat, just by how we've been playing.
families family perfect situation support trying
Me and my family were trying to do something for the families in New Orleans, and this is the perfect situation to do it. I'm going to go down there and show support for those people.
