bad basket efficient jump knocking playing short taking
He's been playing well this year. He's been taking it to the basket and he's not taking bad shots. He's been more efficient and he's knocking down that short jump shot.
anybody bad guys minutes playing team worried
I feel like with the team we have now, we can play with anybody in the NBA. It's too bad we couldn't have done this earlier. We don't have guys worried about minutes and complaining about playing time.
playing
I feel like we weren't playing hard. We were just kind of going through the motions.
fortunate playing win
The way we're playing right now, we'll be fortunate to win another game.
came contract guys instead playing situation team themselves time worried
That's where things started wrong. Guys came in here worried about themselves instead of the team. And it never got better. Guys were worried about playing time because of their contract situation and never got into the team concept. You could see it in guys' faces.
building chemistry good heading looking next outside playing quit season shows though together toward
This is a very big win. Even though it's at the end of the season and we are on the outside looking in, we are still playing together and it shows you there is no quit in this team. I think we are building good chemistry heading toward next season.
career fans finish front happy hometown love seattle
I would love to finish my career in Houston, to be back in front of the hometown fans and in front of my family. You never know what can happen. I'm happy in Seattle right now. But at the same time, there's no place like home.
body career contracts cutting factor guys help player plays politics shoe
I feel like I don't want to be a body out there, being used to help the guys practice. At the end of the day, politics plays a lot into it and if you look at the guys on the roster, some of those guys have got big contracts with shoe deals, commercials and everything. I feel like I've been an underground player my whole career and that would be a factor when it comes down to cutting people.
hot miss shots start
He got hot and when his shots start to fall, he's not going to miss many.
coming guys
We've always said we need more than me and Ray. When we get other guys coming on like that, it makes things so much easier.
start until wait
We showed some fight, but it wasn't enough. We need that from the start and not just wait until the end.
expected match talked track winning
We talked about how they embarrassed up in their house. We didn't want them to get back on the winning track here. We expected them to play well. We wanted to match their intensity.
against game gave good last orlando washington
We didn't have our legs. It should have been 4-1. I thought we gave the game away against Orlando last night, but Washington is a good team.
bit
It's a little bit sore. It's going to be that way when I play. It's something I have to get through.
