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.
break habit hard losing patch smoke winning
It's like when you smoke cigarettes, you've got to take that nicotine patch and break that habit. We've got a habit of losing right now. We need to get, like, a nicotine winning patch. We've got to break that habit of losing, because it can become a habit. . . . We're working hard to break that habit.

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.

We're not finished. We've got a long season ahead of us. We're far from done. Our goal is to come out of this year No. 1, and win a championship.

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.

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.
career friday game happened hopefully support talked win
I talked to Stu Jackson, which was encouraging. There have been a lot of things that have happened in my career which (were) unfair. I support my teammates, and hopefully they'll win the game, and I'll be back Friday (for Game 3).

We've got to take this win and maybe celebrate for 10 minutes, (then) leave it alone because there's a new game coming up on Sunday.
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.
