We tried it different ways in the first half of the season and now we just have to do it the way Mo Cheeks wants it done every night. |
We understand that we're going to get the ball into Tim and play off him. |
We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. They execute their plays to the fullest and get the best shot possible. |
We're going to need team efforts and we need each other down the stretch. |
We're going to need team efforts, we're going to need each other down the stretch. With 29 games to go, we've got to win more than half of those to give us a better seed in the playoffs. We don't want to settle for the eighth spot. We want to try and get as high as we can. |
We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight. |
We're looking at our own sizes, we're looking at our friends' sizes, |
We're not eliminated till we're eliminated. I just feel good about not being eliminated. We get to live another day. |
We're not playing defense, |
We're not playing defense, ... We're not defending or rebounding the ball. That's taking away a lot of baskets because we can't run and we can't stop anybody. |

We're so many games in, we shouldn't be trying to find it. But that's what we're doing. That's what stage we're in right now. We're trying to get better defensively, and we got beat by [28], so, obviously, we're not getting better defensively. |
We're trying to get better, and we're not where we want to be -- but we've progressed. If we stay consistent on defense, we'll be fine. We'll get the easy baskets and then won't have rely on jumpers. |
We've got a guy on the team who was 8 years old when I first got into the league. |
We've got to come out the same way we come out in the second half, ... We've got to start the game with some sense of urgency. Once teams start hitting shots and get a read on us, it's gonna put our backs against the wall. That's something we need to be concerned about. |
