bricks felt playing ton
It felt like I was playing with a ton of bricks on my chest.
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.
bring emphasis goal great tonight
It's a great accomplishment. I just didn't want to put too much emphasis on it tonight. My goal tonight was just to bring energy.
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.
goal team tone
I just play. The goal is to come out and set the tone for the team and be efficient. We have so many weapons, I just try to get us started offensively and then be patient.
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.
