avoid ball basket both charges patient took trying tying
I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.
basket defense gave mix pay playing trying
I was just trying to take what the defense gave me and mix it up a little bit. If (the defender) was playing up on me, just trying to make him pay and go to the basket and get to the line.
best everybody
Just be yourself and do what you can do, ... Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

We've got to go back to the drawing board and get some home cooking.
conference finals good guy missed shot team took
We thought we were a pretty good team and we could go far. We were one shot away from going to the conference finals that year, but unfortunately the guy who took the shot missed it.
brings intangible nobody talks teammate
He's a bulldog. He's one of the unsung heroes. Nobody talks about the intangible things that he brings on the floor. He's an unbelievable teammate and he's just hard-nosed.
ball great last minutes quarters shares six turns
He's a great player. He shares the ball for 3 1/2 quarters and in the last six minutes he turns it up. He's phenomenal.

We're definitely more experienced and more athletic. And, we have guys who can shoot the ball. Now it's going to make teams have to make a decision because we have guys one through five who can shoot.
bad basketball beat extra game home knew last mark motivation solid
You always want to come out and put your mark on the game early, if possible, especially a home game. At the same time, we knew how bad they beat us last time, so it was extra motivation for us to come out and play a solid basketball game.
bouncing court easy evening home opportunity playing protect
We really made it too easy for them. They were really playing to protect their home court and now we just have to take our opportunity by bouncing back and evening it up on Saturday.
That was a foul. The other one I don't remember.
less money points
How is it I make less money than you and have more points right now?
afraid against aside asks attentive call definitely guys help plays pull team tough wants willing
I call him 'Pretty Ricky,' ... I like him because he's one of those guys, he plays hard. If you pull him aside and try to help him, he's willing to learn. He's very attentive and he asks questions. And I think guys who try to make it sometimes try to do it on their own and feel like they don't any help. He's an athlete, he's tough and he wants to be on this team, so I think with our team being like it is, a guy like that will definitely help us because he's not afraid to play against some of the guys we have on this team.
