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.
against chance definitely feels next running tim
It feels better. (Trainer Tim Walsh) said give it a chance to heal, give it a day, no running and see how it feels the next day. If not then, definitely the next (game against Detroit). I definitely want to play Tuesday.
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.
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.
badly basketball beat extra knew last motivation solid time
We knew how badly they beat us last time so there was some extra motivation to come out and just play a solid basketball game.
best hoping playing time
This is the best time to be playing our best basketball. I'm hoping it can only be better.
confident detroit game gave last opportunity played playing test time
Just one game at a time. Detroit is playing unbelievable basketball. This is a test for us. The last time we played in Detroit, they gave us one. So it's an opportunity for us to come back. I feel like we're a better team, a more confident team.
thomas tim
I'm going to make Tim Thomas come here. So it doesn't matter. Only kidding.
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.
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.
jump missed open shots
We missed a lot of shots that we usually make. I know I missed two open jump shots.
basketball bench kept lead overdo tough
We had that energy. We had a lead and our bench kept the lead. We didn't have to play catch-up, which is real tough to do. We had a comfortable lead and we were able to play basketball and not overdo it (or) rush.
good protect road team
We feel we're a good team and we always want to protect home, but we have to do it on the road as well.
