We feel bad for Andray, ... But the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off. It's sad that something like this happened to him during his rookie season, but he will be all right. We will continue to pray for him, hope for a speedy recovery and hold down the fort until he gets back.
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.
almost believe character far good last matter playing point shows special sticking team time
We are almost where we were at this point last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team as far as sticking with it. We believe that this is a pretty good team. The way that we are playing defensively and offensively, you can see that we have something special here. I think it's just a matter of time before we get even better.
coming guy though won
I don't see myself as a guy coming off the bench. But we won tonight, so even though I was coming off the bench, I'm happy.
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.
cheated lazy
Offensively, it wasn't there. We cheated the plays. We cheated our cuts. We weren't aggressive. We were lazy with the ball.
bargain bit came happen higher last plays road stakes sure team time trip
I think this road trip is, for me, more personal. The last time we came out West, I kind of went into a slump. So I just didn't want that to happen again. The stakes are a little bit higher this time. I just want to make sure that I keep up my end of the bargain and make sure the team plays well.
downhill knows season
Everyone pretty much knows that the season is all downhill after the break. So this is real important for us.
attention
They put a lot of attention on Gilbert,
barely good guys half initiate involved knew order player scary second took type
The first half was unbelievable. He knew in order for us to win, he had to initiate the offense, look to get guys involved and then in the second half, he took over. Those are things you see him evolve, day-in and day-out and it was good to see him do the things he did tonight. But I think everyone understands the type of player that he is. The scary thing is he's barely scratching the surface.
achilles beginning composure five focused good job keeping last minutes quarter stayed third
Our Achilles has been the beginning of the third quarter and the last five minutes of the game. But we did a good job of keeping our composure today. We stayed focused and stayed positive.
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.
blowing box close games improve instead people three
Rebounding. The only thing we need to improve on from the first three games is rebounding. If we box out and rebound, we'd be blowing people out instead of having to win these close games.

He'd rather go bowling on a Friday night than go out to the club and party with his boys.
