beginning gym
I was beginning to feel like I was in the gym by myself out there,
ball basket draw lead needed opportunity patient situation stretched trying
I wasn't trying to draw any fouls. When you get in a situation like that, you've got to put the ball in the basket. It was an opportunity where the basket was needed and it stretched the lead out. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
deny eight far hands push shot tougher trying
I was trying to deny him as long as possible, at least eight of the 13 seconds, just to make it a tougher shot and push him out as far as I could. I just wanted to keep my hands up and make it a tough shot.
ball call felt trying
I was trying to make a play get the ball and be aggressive. I felt I could get in there and get a call but to no avail.
fall
I was going for the win. It did everything but fall in.
bricks felt playing ton
It felt like I was playing with a ton of bricks on my chest.
against chance definitely feels next running tim
It feels better. (Trainer Tim Walsh) said give it a chance to heal, give it a day, no running and see how it feels the next day. If not then, definitely the next (game against Detroit). I definitely want to play Tuesday.
focus key level results
I think our level of focus is the key right now. The results are getting wins.
moving
It doesn't do anything. It makes me laugh. OK. Fine. Whatever. Moving on.
ball good
We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. We couldn't make shots. We got good looks.
course hear later prepared teams tweak
You just want to hear me say it. Of course there's adjustments, there's always adjustments. Teams put in new plays. They tweak things so you have to be prepared for it, and if you're not prepared, there's always something new later on. We could play them 20 times and you'd make adjustments 21 times. That's the way it goes.
beat definitely game perfect streak
It definitely helps, being on the streak we're on, and the way we're playing. You need to play a perfect game to beat these guys.
hurt wrong
Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hurt.
played presence run seven
Just his presence out there made a difference. He played well for someone who hadn't run in seven days.
