against average
I don't know what his points-per-game average against us is, but it's really up there.
calls care continue guy himself job learning rest scary surface win
I don't care what he calls himself as long as we continue to win and he does his job. His job is to first come in and make my job and the rest of these guys' job easy. The guy is unbelievable and the scary thing is the sky's the limit. He's just scratching the surface and he's just learning how to play the game.
game personally teammates took
He didn't really look to look for his teammates as often as he did in the first two games. I think he really took this game personally and he wanted to really come out and play well.
basketball finding guys playing standards tired ways win
Guys just got tired of not playing up to our standards and not finding ways to win basketball games.
second
Gilbert told me going into the second half, 'You can't do anything if you don't let it ride,'? He shouldn't have to tell me that.
defensive effort night ourselves percent position tough win
Gilbert, Caron and myself have got it going offensively. We know that night in and night out that we can do it offensively, it's just that on the defensive end we have to really give the effort 100 percent and really make it tough on our opponents. Once we do that, we really put ourselves in position to win games.
bring definitely entertain handled love might size strength suggest toughness
I'd be all for it. I know that's up to management, not us. But we might have to bring him back. We definitely need him right now. I know it's something that would have to be handled in-house. And Kwame would have to come back and demonstrate to them that he'll do what is necessary. But I'd love to entertain the idea. I might suggest it myself. He has the size and strength and toughness we need right now.
against character far fighting finding knew lost
We knew if we lost this game, our back was really going to be against the wall. It was another show of character as far as fighting and finding a way to get a win.
definitely hear stretch
You hear it every week: 'This is the most important stretch of the season. But, in reality, this is definitely the most important stretch.
close doubt last minds pull year
We feel like we're going to win. That's what things were like last year with this team. If it was a close game, there was no doubt in our minds that we'd find a way to pull it out.
against easy miami stuff swept whatever
Being swept by Miami was kind of an eye-opener. It shouldn't have been as easy for him to do what he did, especially without Shaq out there. But there he was, doing whatever he wanted to against us. That kind of stuff can't happen.
everybody knows possible understand
Everybody knows Gilbert. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted). But it happened.
benefit everybody help knowing knows lights possible understand voted whatever
Everybody knows Gilbert. My thing is whatever lights your fire, use it to help you and benefit your team. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted), but it happened. You don't know who voted for him and who didn't. Knowing Gil, it doesn't matter.
ball beat break guys hard likes move team
We all know this team (the Warriors) likes to get on the break and play freely. We wanted to make it defensively hard for those guys and move the ball a little bit, and offensively, beat them in their own game.
