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.
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.
best caught coming continue far hurt playing protect rivalry trying
We're trying to protect home, continue our streak. I think getting caught up in the whole rivalry thing, it can hurt us as far as not coming out and playing our best basketball.
assumed far felt
I felt bad. It was far from what they assumed it to be.
backbone consistent definitely far hope solid
I hope he doesn't get discouraged because internally we know he's been the key. We know that he's definitely been the backbone as far as being consistent and solid throughout.
bring far issue might wonderful
I have no clue. I can't even tell you what would go in (the decision) as far as thinking. I don't want to make that an issue as far as, 'Oh man, he might not be here or who are they going to bring in?' This has been a wonderful place.
drawing fake far foul good hands late pump push stay tough
I just wanted to push him out as far as I could and just stay down. He's good at that pump fake and drawing the foul late in the game. So I wanted to keep my hands up and make it a tough shot. If he makes it, he makes it.
understand
You don't know what to expect. The only way you can really understand it is just being in it.
approach bend eight past seven
We bend but don't break. We have to have that attitude. That has been our approach the past seven or eight games.
call wants
We're better prepared. He wants more out of us so, of course, that's going to call for more work.
priority regardless team win
We want to play team defense, regardless (of what Iverson does). A.I. can get his points. The priority is to win the game.
blown good step
We still think we're a good team. We didn't get blown out of here (in Cleveland), for one. We're capable. We just have to step it up a little bit.
beat definitely
We still think we can beat them. We are definitely disappointed.
pulls
When you think something can't be done, that's when he pulls off another stunt.
