It was a great feeling, man. My first time being here, people embracing me the way they were. It's something I'm going to cherish ... It kind of made me more nervous, just wanting to give them a good show.
You don't want somebody shooting that had been making a lot of shots.
It's a big disappointment. They just jumped on us. Once we started to get into any type of groove offensively or defensively, it was too late.
Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
They are similar, absolutely. We have leads and we give a lead up. It's been happening like this, the same way.
Steve set the tone for them and everyone else just followed.
All of it is bad. We just struggled so badly offensively. We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. They did a great job with Tracy (McGrady) struggling. Sloppy, we just didn't play well, just didn't take care of the ball.
It was important. We know they were a team that's been struggling all year and we just wanted to get this win tonight. Being that we got the one on their home court, we figured they were gonna try to come in and win one on ours and we did a good job of being focused and playing the game and finishing it out.
You play 82 games, and it's unheard of that you win every game, but this is one we should have had,
It's an honor you know to be able to accomplish something like that knowing what he meant to this franchise and to the league. It's a great accomplishment, but without my guys, there's no way to get that accomplished.
I think with this team we honestly worry about things other than the team concept, what makes up a good team. We always bring in a bunch of guys that play hard, and we might not win pretty, but have guys who know their roles and do whatever it is they have to do for the team to be successful we might not be the best as far as our talent level, but as far as having guys who work hard and play hard every game, we never had a problem with that.
If I leave Philadelphia, it's not because I want to leave. I'm still in love with the place. I want to be here.
I don't have a problem with it. I'll do it for the rest of the season.
He has that confidence, that swagger with him. He doesn't feel like a little young guy out of place anymore. He feels welcome. He knows that, that's his spot and he's a part of this franchise.
