care less peak playoffs time trying
We are trying to peak at the right time and go into the playoffs with a lot of confidence. I could care less who we play.
advantage division game might playoff tie win
Each division game counts. You never know you, might end up with a tie and you want the tiebreaker. You want the advantage when it comes to playoff positioning. For us, it important to win every game, of course, but it's even more important to win every division game.
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.
close guess guy looks lost playoff quicker time tough
Looks like he lost a little weight. Looks lighter, quicker on his feet. He's going to be a tough guy to stop. It's close to that time now, so I guess he's getting in playoff form.
basketball coach expects playing playoffs style
We want to go into the playoffs on a high, playing the style of basketball Coach expects us to play.
beat best compete conference consider eastern fix last miami playoffs teams test year
We consider Miami one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so we see it as a test each and every time. They beat on us last year in the playoffs so we wanted to come out and see how we could fix it and just compete with them. We competed with them before but we just weren't on their level.
brought chip playoff win
It wasn't really a chip (on my shoulder), just focus. I wanted to get my first win. They brought me here not to win 49 (regular-season) games, but to win playoff games.

It's a great feeling winning the division, but as my grandma would say we have bigger fish to fry. Right now, we're just trying to keep winning and go to the playoffs on a high.
basketball coach expects fly job playing playoffs radar roll style
We want to just roll into the playoffs playing the style of basketball that Coach expects us to play. If we can fly under the radar and get the job done, why not?
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.
ball playoff throw trust
I have to do better for my team. Playoff time, if they are going to throw the ball in my hands, and have the trust in me to have the ball like that and make something happen, I have to produce, and I didn't produce.

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.
factor forth happy
We weren't happy with our effort. (Jefferson is) a big factor for us, but we can still really put forth a better effort.
