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.
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.
I though I got a pretty good look. He had a hand in my face (Andre Miller) but I got a great look.
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.
Getting those two guys on the same page will be a major factor on us having a good season,'' Cheeks said.
I feel like everybody knows what is at stake. Everybody knows the importance of every game. We had a good meeting before the game in New York and I think it helped us out because it got us focusing on what we need to do as a basketball team.
My shot felt good from the beginning of the game to the end.
I don't think it's good for the league. I really don't because it kind of makes it fake. Guys wearing those clothes don't want to be wearing those clothes.
I think it would have been good if we could have played all pre-season games together. It will be something we'll have to deal with, something we'll have to fight through.
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.
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 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.
I don't think it's good for the league,
