It was a team effort. We did everything that we needed for the win. You can't put it on one thing. We've been doing a lot of things well. We're playing well together. We're defending. We're doing a lot of positive things out there. We're putting ourselves in a (position) to win. We're giving ourselves a chance every night, just playing well defensively. We feel like every night we can score 100 points, but we've got to stop people.
They're a good team, but it means more because we won the game. It didn't really matter what team came in here tonight, (we) just had to win the game. We had to get off the (streak). Regardless of who it was, we just had to win the basketball game.
Once you get away and come back, you're ready to go. But knowing it's a fresh start, like a new season; we're taking it one game at a time.
The whole paper is like a book, Tales From the Dark Side or something.
Everything isn't starting out well, but you have to look at it like we can turn it around.
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.
It's not like defenses are out there just giving guys 50 and 60 points. You have to look at what's going on this season and realize there are just as many great players playing today as there ever has been in this game.
As long as you leave everything out on the basketball court, you can go into the locker room and feel good about yourself and that's important..............
I hope they were glad I was back and I hope that I did give them some type of confidence. It's important for my confidence for me to feel wanted and be able to go out there and make something happen.
I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot. Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight.
It's a big win for us...just because we've been struggling to win a game after a game. You feel good about not giving up one after we win one.
It was great. It felt like we turned that corner. We had leads going into the fourth quarter and we weren't able to sustain them.
You've heard me say it a million times just from me being in here so long. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't have any heart, you're going to struggle as a player, and if the team doesn't have the heart, then the team is going to struggle.
It's just learning the game more. Just trying to approach it in a John Stockton-type of way, to where you don't play so much with your physical ability all the time. You have to think the game out a lot more. That's where I'm a lot better. I know the game a lot more. I see things before they happen a lot.
