against best compete hit late left mental mistakes open shots teams wide
We feel we can compete against the best teams in the league. But against the better teams, you can't have the mental mistakes late in the game, because that's when the better team will prevail. They hit some big shots and we left them wide open to hit some big shots.
again bad ball fell hard shoot
I'm a little sore. It kind of went bad when I fell on the floor. It just wasn't the same. Then I fell again and it stiffened up on me. I just couldn't get it loose. It was hard to shoot the ball like I wanted to shoot it.
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.
against doubting everybody focused frustrated guys including individual mad stay team
We have the right to be frustrated and mad about individual play and mad about the team play. But when everybody is doubting us and everybody is against us, the guys that are on this team, including staff, must be on board. We must stay focused and we must stay together.
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.
tone trying
I'm just trying to set the tone for my teammates. I'm not trying to take over the game. It's for my team. I'm just being aggressive. I think that doing that, it frees up a lot of other things.
excited mess
Every now and then I get a little too excited and mess up my forearm.
clue games mentioned nobody picture win
The big picture is to win as many games as possible. I had no clue (about making the playoffs). Nobody mentioned it. We just have to win as many games as we have left.
attacked change create defense easy half picked point pressure second tried turning
The second half was a different story. We picked our defense up and attacked them and tried to put pressure on them for a change and try and create easy baskets. It was the turning point for us.
hard slow stepping
Once they started stepping it up, it was hard to slow them down.
It's no big deal. 'As the World Turns,' you know.
thomas tim
I'm going to make Tim Thomas come here. So it doesn't matter. Only kidding.
eat people words
I'm going to make a lot of people eat their words when it's time.
excited happy ready ways
I'm excited for him. I'm happy for him. I think he was ready to part ways (with the Raptors) and they were ready to part ways.
