attack basket effective goal hitting jump shots
Our goal is to attack the basket and put the onus on the referees to make the calls. We weren't hitting our jump shots outside, so we had to be effective some other way.
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.
couple flow force hit shots teammates trying within
It was one of those things where you're in a zone. You hit a couple and things are going well and your teammates find you. I was trying to take shots within the flow of the offense. I wasn't trying to force anything.
hitting jason wound
I've been close. So it was fun. With Jason hitting the shots, I said, 'Jason, I need one more.' He said, 'I got you.' But I wound up getting it from RJ. Even better.
aspects easy either hit job shots
We didn't get the job done either way. We didn't hit shots and we made it a little too easy for them in all aspects of the game.
good hitting likes run team traded transition
We traded baskets with a team that likes to run up and down. They are a very good transition team. ... They were hitting everything.
certainly contact guys hit
I certainly thought I was going to get the call. There was a lot of contact on that play. At least two guys hit me.
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.
