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.
game last playoffs wanna winning worry
We just wanna worry about winning this last game and going into the playoffs with some momentum.
caught last main man rick sleeping trying
I was trying to get the last shot, that's what Rick (Carlisle) told me. That was my main focus. But A.J. (Johnson) made a heads-up play. His man (Gordon) got caught sleeping and he made a back-door play.
bit easier game heal last point pushing ready seven
I'm at the point where pushing it is making it worse. I've been pushing it for so long that it's easier to sprain every game. I've sprained it in seven of the last 10 games. I'm going to take a game off and try to let it heal a little bit and try to be ready for (Tuesday's game at Chicago).
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.
business care couple game knew last match meant wins
It was a big game for us. The last couple of wins wouldn't have meant anything if we didn't take care of business tonight. We knew we had to come out and match their intensity.
dealing guys last says situation
It's a situation we've been dealing with the last two years, not having our whole team. Guys have been in and out of the rotation. This says a lot about this team.
clock kept normally
We kept playing. We didn't do what we normally do and that's clock watch.
everybody good great guys love miss plays positive team works
This team has too many great guys and good professionals to go through so much negativity. As my friend, I would still love for him to be here, but I don't miss the negativity. Being around a positive environment, everybody plays better and everybody works better.
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.
everybody ready sky trying
We're trying to get out togetherness back. We are getting to know everybody so that we are ready for the playoffs. When everybody is healthy, the sky is the limit.
fall houses replace tree uncle works
My uncle works in the prison, so he's still there and he said a lot of the houses are straight. My sister's house had a tree fall on it, but it didn't do too much damage. It's nothing we can't rebuild. You can't replace a life, but you can replace the houses and the fences.
everybody excuses nobody time work
Nobody can make excuses now. We have everybody back. It's time to go to work and play like we know how.
ask came chance gave hit ourselves player shot slow start
Carmelo is a big-time player and he hit a big-time shot. We had a slow start and got back into it. We gave ourselves a chance to win, which is all you can ask for. ... But it came down to a big shot at the end and he hit it.
