april case challenge dallas focus good last main played playing playoffs
We have played well in April (8-1). That hasn't been the case in the last two years. The main focus has been to play well and go into the playoffs with some momentum. Obviously, Dallas is playing good as well. It's a big challenge, but it's a challenge that should be fun.
good guys major missing statistics team year
We haven't been a very good team this year when major guys are missing from the other team. They don't keep statistics for that but I know we haven't been very good.
funny nba
I'll save that for Mrs. Battier.
games play champion
I've always thought that pressure is trying to feed your family, trying to make a mortgage. We play a game...And this is an amazing game.

Sometimes you've got to eat a turd sandwich; makes the ribeye taste better next time.
basketball jobs nba
I don't complain about playing time. My job is to play so well the coach can't sit me.
focal knows
We need Pau to be our focal point. Everyone knows that.
eight games
Yeah, but we have eight more games to play.
mind playing
We're playing to win. I've always been of the mind-frame that you've got to play.
guys means speaking takes time
We didn't have guys like that before, that can look at you and tell you what it takes to get over the hump. I mean, when these guys tell you something, they're speaking from experience. And that means a lot at this time of the year.
against execution played playoff sharp team
We played a team (Tuesday) that really wasn't sharp in their execution, and if we can do that against the playoff teams, then we'll be a lot more excited.
good playing
We feel good about where we are right now. We feel we're playing good basketball.
