I had problems walking, so I knew I couldn't do any running. I couldn't do it. It's real swollen.
If we don't have Willie it's going to hurt us. But we have so many guys ready to step up.
I don't have a problem with it. I'll do it for the rest of the season.
To fight like we fought the majority of the game and then for that to happen to us with 4.9 seconds on the clock is just devastating.
If that doesn't let us know we can beat a good team, I don't know what will. Hopefully this one will give us some confidence, coming back on the World Champs.
If that didn't let him know this weekend that he can be a great player in this league, then nothing will. But I think he got the message.
He was angry, and had every right to be.
Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
What I've learned late in my career is, regardless of whether you play well or not, if the team doesn't win, it's all for nothing,
When I struggle the way I did tonight, as a team we are obviously going to struggle.
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 had a real good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out be-cause it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team. I look at the stats and see that they still shot 50 percent and they almost scored 100 points and that's not something we want to give up. That's something we've got to look at as negative even though we got a win and try to improve on that.
Everything that I do, everything that I say is magnified. I didn't think it was going to get out of hand like this.
The good part about this is you get to see what type of character you have as a team.
