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.
team underdogs
I don't think we're the underdogs right now. I think we're the team to beat. I think we're going to be the champions.
against full rather team
I would rather have him play. You don't want to play against a team that's not full strength.
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.
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.
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.
confidence game guys home needed team
We needed (a win) bad. One thing I like about this team is guys have confidence in each other. This was another test, but we were at home this time. I'm in better shape. This game was more comfortable (for me) and it's going to get better.
clicking offensive teammates trying
When we are clicking on the offensive end, making shots, you get your teammates involved. That's what I was trying to do tonight.
game good missing stuck team win
After missing 73 games, the team really stuck in there. The good thing about it is, we are not 100 percent, but we really wanted to win this game and we did.
caliber everybody figured goal good playoffs saw team traded walk win
I saw the team that I was traded to and I just figured we were good enough to get in the playoffs. I still feel we have a championship caliber team. We're in the playoffs and now our goal is to win the whole thing. Everybody on this team is committed. We're going to walk the walk.
adjusted gets reach team teams
I like to reach for the stars. Once we get into the playoffs, it's anybody's ballgame. Once this team gets adjusted to each other, I just feel we're one of the better teams in the league.
coach fell gave help short team trying
I didn't know what coach was going to do. He gave me a chance. I was just trying to do things to help the team win. We just fell a little short tonight.
played players smart team
He played good. He played real smart tonight. He's probably one of the better players on the team right now.
