experience games good helped poised
We got out really good and set the tone. Our experience in the big games helped a lot. We were a little more poised than they were, I think.
games general hopefully passing stepped team tough trying win
The team in general stepped it up, got in passing lanes and made them take tough shots. We're trying to win as many games as possible, some ugly, hopefully some impressive.
games goal hopefully impressive means point trying win wins
At this point in time, we are just trying to win as many games as possible. Some ugly, hopefully some impressive wins, some wins are going to be by luck. By any means it should be our goal right now.
brought came games maybe playoff win
Maybe it came off as a chip, it was just focus. I wanted to get my first win here. They brought me here not to just win 49 games but to win playoff games. That was my goal. It was important for me to come out and just be Vince.
bring games three tough
We've had three tough games in a row. We didn't bring our 'A' game. We didn't even bring our 'B' game.
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.
asked biggest dedicating fun games guys hard last playing themselves
It's always fun when you're winning, but the biggest thing that makes it fun is guys are just going out there and playing hard and doing what's asked of us. It's just the effort. Guys are dedicating themselves to these last 20-plus games and we're getting results.
accomplish best games goal letting pill possibly slip team tough
It's 16 games to accomplish a goal we all want. And letting one go hurts. I want to play the best game I can possibly play for my team every night, so when you let one slip away, it's a tough pill to swallow.
games letting lucky matter slip teams ugly
The more games we let slip away, we're letting other teams have a chance. It's important for us to be who we are and win. It doesn't matter how ugly or how lucky we are.
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.
games goal overall possible until win
Just win as many games as possible. The overall goal is to win as many games as possible until there are no more games to be played.
sports fighting games
I play some fighting games, but mostly I just play sports.
effort felt half last played pleased win
We weren't pleased with our first half last game. We felt if we played better in the first half we could win tonight. It was all about effort and energy.
difference energy felt game pleased start tonight
We weren't pleased about our start in the first game and felt that was the difference in (Friday's) game. Tonight it was about energy and effort, and that's what we showed right from the tip.
