beat best early jump life point regardless rival stay team time
When you come out to play a rival you never know. Regardless of the up-and-downs, you are going to get the best effort. It was important for us to come out focused. You want to jump on them early and stay up. If you give the team life at any point in time they can come back and beat you.
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.
care guys positive rebuilding stay stick together
Going through rebuilding is always tough, I don't care where you are or who you are, it is always tough. It is important for those guys to stick together and stay positive if that is possible.
against doubting everybody focused frustrated guys including individual mad stay team
We have the right to be frustrated and mad about individual play and mad about the team play. But when everybody is doubting us and everybody is against us, the guys that are on this team, including staff, must be on board. We must stay focused and we must stay together.
tone trying
I'm just trying to set the tone for my teammates. I'm not trying to take over the game. It's for my team. I'm just being aggressive. I think that doing that, it frees up a lot of other things.
excited mess
Every now and then I get a little too excited and mess up my forearm.
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.
attacked change create defense easy half picked point pressure second tried turning
The second half was a different story. We picked our defense up and attacked them and tried to put pressure on them for a change and try and create easy baskets. It was the turning point for us.
hard slow stepping
Once they started stepping it up, it was hard to slow them down.
It's no big deal. 'As the World Turns,' you know.
thomas tim
I'm going to make Tim Thomas come here. So it doesn't matter. Only kidding.
eat people words
I'm going to make a lot of people eat their words when it's time.
excited happy ready ways
I'm excited for him. I'm happy for him. I think he was ready to part ways (with the Raptors) and they were ready to part ways.
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.
