avoid ball basket both charges patient took trying tying
I was just tying to put the ball in the basket. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get. Just wanted to go to the basket and avoid him, because he'd already took two charges on me, so I was concentrating on trying to do both things.
ball basket draw lead needed opportunity patient situation stretched trying
I wasn't trying to draw any fouls. When you get in a situation like that, you've got to put the ball in the basket. It was an opportunity where the basket was needed and it stretched the lead out. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
bit finding guys instead open patient taking threw zone
We weren't very patient early. We were going a little bit too fast. The zone really threw things out of whack. Guys were taking jumpers instead of penetrating and then finding the open guy.
basket cut opportunity patient tie
A big basket was needed. If we don't make it, it would give them the opportunity to tie or cut it to one. I just wanted to be patient and take what I could get.
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.
care grind knew looks record start
We knew we were going to have to grind it out. I don't care what their record looks like. They come at you from start to finish.
team
We know we have a team that can make a lot of noise.
fear played win
When it was all about V.C. the Raptors played with fear, and that's not how you win games.
