couple energy happen last talk tired
The last couple of games, I don't know if we're tired or what, but our energy just isn't there. We know we can score, that's not a problem. But when you talk about energy, it's got to happen on defense, and it wasn't there all night.
talk
I am going to talk to him before the All-Star break, but right now, I don't think I am going.
ball battle defensive detroit knows san
Everyone knows that when San Antonio and Detroit play, it's going to be a battle on the defensive end. The thing that we wanted to do is really concentrate on rebounding the ball and not let them get second-chance opportunities.
bench easier great minutes starting successful
The bench has done a great job. They are starting to give us some successful minutes now and that's been making it easier for all of us.
It's very, very, very, very helpful. ... Delfino can get out there and get some confidence.
advantage aggressive game harder home protect
Sunday's game is going to be a lot harder than Monday's game, because Sunday's game is at 12 o'clock. I don't think we've had one at 12 this year. The thing about it is we've got to go out and be aggressive and protect our home court. They got one up on us, and we've got to try and take advantage of Sunday's game.
last left picked seemed
It seemed like we just picked up where we left off last season. It didn't seem like a first game.
giving lift second unit
That second unit has been great. We aren't giving them a lift at all.
They can play better. But at the same time, we can play better, too.
ball means trying
They went to a zone, and that means they are trying to get the ball out of Rip's (Hamilton) hands, so we have to make shots.
attacking looked second team tired
They looked a little tired in the second half. Once we started attacking them, they just looked like a team with tired legs.
bit early executing fourth games gotten great hitting lazy quarter season second shots slow terms tonight
Early in games we've gotten off to slow starts, but tonight we got off to a great start. In the second quarter we kind of got lazy a little bit and they capitalized on it. But the fourth quarter has been our quarter early in the season in terms of hitting our shots and executing our plays, and that's something that we did tonight.
felt great lose playing thinks win
Everyone thinks we're playing this great because we want to show we can play without Larry. We're playing like this because we know how it felt to lose the championship, and we want to win it again.
common common-sense dribble throw trying
They were just trying to foul, so the common sense thing to do is throw it up at the basket. As long as you don't dribble no more, it's a continuation.
