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.
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.
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.
came deserved games good hard tough win worked
It was good to get a win. All the games are tough right now. We came here to get a win. We worked hard and deserved to win tonight.
bit bounce deal games happened putting team winning
It's happened to me before. It wasn't, like, the first time. I'm a little bit (more) able to deal with it and bounce back and be that much better. . . . I'm not going to think about putting the team on my shoulders. We're just going to think about winning games the same way we've been winning games.
adjusting early expect felt games hit ready surprised
I was just ready, ready for anything. I was surprised (at early success). I didn't expect to hit my first three. But I felt good, even early in the day I felt good. I've got to do a little more adjusting to the game. It will come with more games played.
miss missed thousand
I've said it a thousand times. Referees miss calls. They missed that one, too.
gotten involved nine
I should have gotten myself more involved in the first nine minutes. I had to have gotten myself more involved in the first quarter.
defensive intensity
Our defensive intensity wasn't there. We slacked a little bit.
ball body came
Ostertag came at me with his body. He really came and went for the body first and the ball second.
crowd fed love
Sac is different. I love Indiana, but it's different out here. The crowd is unbelievable. When I was in Indy, the crowd fed off me. Here, sometimes I wasn't even in the game, and they were going crazy.
sorted trade
There's no trade right now, but they (the Pacers) said they were going to try to get something sorted out to get the trade done.
lost move opposed playing team won
I was more disappointed that we lost as a team as opposed to playing poorly. We just have to move on and get better. The big thing is we should have won this game.
everybody felt front gave good people
It felt good to play in front of people again. They gave everybody good receptions, so I was happy.
