I think any person on the street would have done the same thing, ... I just learned that if somebody from the stands throws something at you, don't do anything back or you'll get suspended.
asking danny learn tendency
He's getting over his jitters, ... It's tough. We're asking him to learn two positions. Danny has a tendency at times to be in a hurry.
forward learned past team
I'm going to play hard. That's all I can do. Things that were distractions to my team in the past - I've learned from my mistakes, and I look forward to those things not happening.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
