badly basketball beat extra knew last motivation solid time
We knew how badly they beat us last time so there was some extra motivation to come out and just play a solid basketball game.
bad care dictate game games less people playoffs scrutiny shake
Oh, I can care less about scrutiny and all that. If it was a bad game, it was a bad game. Just because of what people say and what people think, they don't dictate my game and how I play. I've been in the playoffs before and I've had bad games in the playoffs before. It's just one of those things, you shake it off.
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.
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.
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.
attack enjoying far game means mode moment team win
I'm enjoying every moment of it, don't get me wrong, but I think it was the team being in attack mode and me being more aggressive. This game means a lot as far as getting over the hump. This is a big win for us, obviously, for a lot of reasons.
