A lot of people still don't think we play great defense. We let that go in one ear and out the other. |
As long as we've got a team of guys that like being around each other, on and off the court, it's a good thing for us. I mean, we can take this thing to another level. |
He's got a championship under his belt. I want to get one, too. He knows how to do it. |
I don't even pay attention to that any more. We're just going into the playoffs trying to get ourselves better. We want to keep playing great basketball like we've been doing and hopefully end up playing in June. |
I don't really know what it is. It's just tight. The last game, I got a little tightness in it when I came out of the game, and it got tighter when I sat for a while. It was worse by the time the game ended and when I got home. |
I don't think we're in their heads. But we're real confident right now. We haven't played our best defense yet, but it's coming. |
I think we're a great team. Whatever people are saying, thanks for the compliment. |
I'd say we are at about 80 percent right now. I still think there's a level or two that we can still reach, especially on the defensive end. Our offense has already been clicking and doing a great job. We showed that during the win (13-game winning) streak. Our defense is improved. We just have to continue to grow and learn each other and do what coach asks us to do. |
I'm coming along. It's still a day-to-day process. |
I'm not pushing him to return. And he's not pushing me. |
It was a great play. It was something coach (Avery Johnson) drew up, we used it in Memphis too. That's two for two for us. |
It was just a little tweak, but I'm feeling better. I'm going to get treatment so I'm 100 percent. |
It was just me being a little more aggressive. I was in a little foul trouble in the first half and really didn't get to play like I really wanted to so I came out there in the second half just trying to do what I wanted to do in the first half. |
It wouldn't have been a good feeling because we wouldn't be able to get into the gym tomorrow and get that bad taste out of our mouths. |
It's a big motivator. We've been a good defensive team and don't want to let that happen again. We're conscious of who can score the ball on the other team. We take that as a personal challenge. |
