This is a game when Brendan would have helped. The big guy (Yao) earned his check and he put his team on his back and carried them.

They put a lot of attention on Gilbert,
ball behind both came definitely fun love meetings next ready teams watch
Always fun to watch the two teams play. Both teams love to get up and run, put the ball in the basket. Both meetings you definitely got your money's worth. We stole one, they came out and stole one on the road, too. It's one of those things you've just got to put it behind you and get ready for the next game.
across april beginning climb continue create distance eight games great last march month opportunity scenario turn win
You don't want to come across a scenario going into the end of March or beginning of April when you have to win eight out of 10. This is a great opportunity for us to create some distance and climb up in the standings now. You don't want to continue to be around .500, one or two games above, one or two games below, and then in the last month or so you really have to turn it on.
bunch conference couple decent eastern five home knew steal teams weeks winning wins
A couple of weeks ago we knew we were about to play a bunch of Eastern Conference teams and we knew that was important, but I think this is crucial. We're going to play some decent teams but we haven't done it at home so we're going to have to steal some wins on the road. For us, this is a very important stretch. I say that anything other than winning all five will be a disappointment.
almost playing positive
Now I have my pep in my step. I have that swagger. I feel like myself again. I'm just playing hard. I'm playing with a lot more intensity. I'm positive about everything. It's almost like a 180 from where I was when I was struggling.
against atmosphere best intensity league played playing scoring teams tough type
Defensively, we've got to make it tough on them. They're one of the best scoring teams in the league and they're playing well. We need the same type of intensity and atmosphere we had when we played against Detroit.
earlier felt good
That one felt good and earlier those that didn't feel good went in.
rhythm tonight tough
They were in a rhythm tonight and we couldn't get them out of it. They made it tough for us the whole game.
athletes basketball identify kids side
The only times that kids can really identify with athletes is going to see us play in the arena. I wanted them to see another side of me. I wanted them to know about Antawn Jamison the person and just not the basketball player.
above break excuse five games great hit hovering importance opportunity road stretch three
We've been hovering pretty much around .500 all season. There's no excuse for us that when these five games are over we shouldn't be two or three games above .500. Having said that, I think we all know the importance of this five-game stretch before we hit the road before the break is over with. It's a great opportunity for us.
crowd
We know what our crowd is going to do. It's going to be fun.
capable frame juan kept mind people starts
We know what Juan is capable of doing when he starts to feel it. We know he is going to be in the mind frame to show people why we should have kept him.
