best drives frustrated gets hard hungry knows motivates people player plays reason ron stuff time understand wants
People don't understand that a lot of stuff he's done and the reason he plays so hard and is so hungry is because he wants to be great. I think a lot of time Ron gets frustrated because he knows he's better than what he's been playing. He wants to be the best player in the game. That's what drives him, that's what motivates him.
best heard hope none talked wish
I've heard of some trades, but none of them have probably been true. I've talked to Ron, but it really hasn't been on my mind. I wish him the best and hope for the best for this team.
ball best blame defense figure flowing games great last moved played showing signs starting team together
The best way I can say it is we've played well, we've moved the ball and played great defense the last two games so we are showing signs that we are getting the chemistry. We can't put the blame on Ron. We can't say because Ron's not here, everything's flowing better. All we can say is we're starting to figure each other out, we're starting to play well together and we're starting to play like the team we know we can be.
ball best both eight five four game gives job shared speeds
We shared the ball and it's not just one person getting into a rhythm, it's four or five guys. The game speeds up a little bit. But at the same time, we're like eight times better with (O'Neal) because it gives us the best of both worlds. It's a little faster, but he makes our job a lot easier.
best carries hat players
He's one of the best players in the NBA. You have to take your hat off to him the way he carries his team.
game last playoffs wanna winning worry
We just wanna worry about winning this last game and going into the playoffs with some momentum.
feels miss shots taken
I've never taken that many shots in a game. I know what it feels like to miss all those shots, though.
good knocking offense open shots within
The shots we got were within our offense and they were good looks, but we just weren't knocking them down. We got a lot of open shots that we missed.
felt good left shot
The shot felt good when it left my hand.
Is it about Ron? If it's about Ron, I'm not answering.
last played
We feel like we have a lot to prove, ... But not to the world, to ourselves. We know we're better than the way we played last year.
couple hope shots stop tough work
Vince is one of those guys, you can't stop him, but you just hope you can make him take some tough shots and hope he has an off night. I'm going to make him work for everything out there. And hopefully, I can get away with a couple of fouls.
excuse lose
There's no excuse to lose to those guys. We know that we're a better team.
cut game lead ran
We got back in the game and kind of ran out of gas. We didn't keep pushing. Once we cut the lead we kind of relaxed.
