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.
compete great needed played shots stayed team took tough
Considering everything we are going through right now, we needed this game. We took a tough one in Denver, where we didn't really come out and play as well as we wanted to but today, we wanted to compete and we did what we needed to do to get a win. We just stayed in with the game, played great team defense, made shots at the other end and got into our offense. We were able to get the shots we wanted.
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.
both definitely ends foul games hard played playing win
It's amazing. We're out there playing basketball, playing hard on both ends and sometimes games get real physical. It's a part of the game. We could have played a lot better. It's definitely hard for us to win when me and Jermaine are in foul trouble.
fourth played quarter
They played that fourth quarter like they had something at stake, like they wanted to go to the playoffs. And we played like we didn't want to go to the playoffs.
played
He was aggressive. He didn't let the referees get in his head, he just played well. He's getting a feel for the game.
foul great meant played shots tough
I played great 'D.' It was a tough 3 off the glass. There's nothing you can do about it. It was just one of those shots that was just meant to be. I didn't want to foul him. I wanted him to take a tough shot.
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.
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.
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.
