change decided game huge hurt last
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
defense edge few final games needed percent shore shot
We didn't have the edge we needed tonight. They shot 50 percent from the floor. We need to shore up our defense right now going into the final few games of the season.
build games lose losing mad rough situations team
I think Pop's still mad that we should have had 81 (victories) or something. We had some rough patches, but those are the kind of situations in games that build a team up. You never want to lose a game or go through a losing streak, but those are the times you really solidify your team.
edge games whatever win
We all didn't have that edge we needed. Offensively, they did kind of whatever they wanted to do. We can't win games like that.
game good grind shots tonight win
Tonight was a good game for us because we were able to grind it out and find a way to get a win down the stretch. I was able to get some shots to go, and when they doubled me, I was able to find my teammates.
bad funk games losses
We need to get some of that funk out. We've had some bad games and some losses at home.
attack best certain double finding game nights team
We attack the game in many different ways. Some nights it's interior, but a lot of it is our pick-and-roll and finding our shooters. If they're going to play the pick-and-roll a certain way or double team in the post, our shooters are going to have wide-open shots, and we have some of the best in the league.
beat bunch chance couple free game gave last missed stretch sure tonight win
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away.
concern focus games next obviously shift situation
It's a situation you obviously don't want to be in, but those two games are gone. Our concern now is these next two games. They're going to be big for us. We have to shift our focus to that.
game ready
It's a big game for us. We'll come back a little more energized and ready to go.
aggressive defending finally foul game great job late matter seemed shots tried trouble
They did a great job double-teaming me. I got in foul trouble, my shots weren't going down, and things just weren't working my way. I tried to be as aggressive as I could, but they were defending me very well. I finally got some shots to go down late in the game when it seemed like it didn't matter anymore.
aggressive counter games heels instead last react
What they have done over the last two games is make us react to what they do, ... They have been aggressive defensively and they have got us back on our heels and they make us kind of counter what they are doing instead of them countering what we're doing.
balls game plan putting
Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. Our game plan was there, but it?s just about putting some balls in the hole.
game glad league looking older promise
I was looking before the game and I'm like 91/2 years older than him. That is just crazy. (Howard) is just so talented, so developed. He doesn't look like a 19-year-old. He has so much promise and I'm just glad that I will be out of the league when he is peaking.
