hurts losing
What hurts the most is losing the way we did.
job physical
We didn't do our job on the boards. It was terrible. We've got to be more physical with them. We've got to compete.
came fair hard played playoff team
They weren't going to give it to us. That's only fair when it's playoff time. They came out and played as hard as they've played all season. It's only fair so the other team doesn't feel cheated.
convert hit last lucky pulled
They hit a last-second, lucky shot. What can you do? We didn't convert on our last play and they pulled something out of the sky.
against himself played playing pressure team telling
I've been telling him that he's 'The Man' and to play the way he's been playing all year. He's played well against this team so he doesn't need to put too much pressure on himself because it's the playoffs.
hawks talking
We wanted to take the Hawks to the playoffs. That was the thing we were talking about back then.

We've got two days to fix what went wrong. We have to hold on to our home court, and that's what we plan to do.

We've got two days to fix what went wrong.
aside attitudes check door everybody fight harder minutes number playing winning
To be a professional, sometimes you've got to put aside how you are playing or the number of minutes you're playing, you have to check it at the door and just come to win. That's what everybody has on their minds, winning games. It's harder when you have to fight attitudes on your own team, and then have to fight the other team. If one person is unhappy, then everybody is unhappy.
ate definitely good sat sit talked
We definitely feel more like a team. We just sat around at dinner, and ate and talked about old Hubie (Brown) stories. We reminisced about what we've been through to get to this point. It was good for us to sit there and bond.
blocking jumping
They were jumping over us. We weren't blocking out.
defense gonna key mentally strong team
Defense as a whole is going to be very big for us. We're going to have to team rebound. Our aggressiveness is going to be the key and how mentally strong we're gonna be.
aggressive defense groove moved nice played winning
They played hard. They were real aggressive on defense and you could tell that they're in a nice zone. They're in a groove with that 10-game winning streak. They really moved that ball.
fans
It's going to be a whole lot different. The fans are going to be crazy.
