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.
adjusted defensive fine good great last nba player playing slide style year
I think when I got Defensive Player of the Year I was playing great defense. Last year when they implemented those new rules, I was still playing very good defense. I just have to get adjusted to the NBA style of play. It will be fine because I can still slide my feet.
guarded hit last mean wide
We lost, so it doesn't mean much how I guarded (Bryant). He hit that last shot, I was like, 'That's Kobe.' He is wide open; he is going to hit it.
finish last three won
We won the last three quarters, we just couldn't finish the job.
definitely five four last people situations sure
I'm going to definitely take it upon myself to make sure we don't get in situations like we have in these last four or five games. I take it upon myself to make sure we win, and I'm sure people will follow. We did it once before, we'll do it again.
grow last learn mistakes trying
I mean, last season, I was 24 going on 25. Now, I am 25 going on 26. You grow up, you make mistakes and you learn from that. I am trying not to make the same mistakes.
adjustment last left style timing totally
It's an adjustment because when I left last season, it was totally a different style than what it is now. I have to get my timing back and adjust to the new style of play.
adjusting kept last left timing totally
I've got to just let it come to me in the offense, ... I just kept adjusting defensively. When I left last season, it was a totally different style, so I have to get back my timing and adjust.
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.
