It was a big game and we looked forward to it. It's always big when you are playing the best. I think I did a pretty good job on Duncan.
It's y'all who are constantly bringing it up. We have not had one conversation about that. We're not thinking about it. If we're still at this pace in March or April, then we'll start talking about it. But we're not even in January, so why are we even bringing it up?
Anytime you have the big guys we have -- we've got five or six shot-blockers, guys that can rebound -- you're going to have a good defense,
Any time something like that happens, it just fuels our fire. Good luck other team.
That's a great, great honor. I've never got that before. I've been player of the week, but player of the month is a lot tougher to get because you have to do it over the course of four straight weeks.
That's a great feat. It feels good to accomplish that, especially in a storied franchise like this with the Bad Boys.
That's an unbelievable feat, one that hasn't been seen in a long time. We may not see this again for a long time.
That's crazy. This has been one of those special years for us. Hopefully, we can keep it up.
That's crazy, man. I can't even fathom that. That's crazy.
That's crazy, man, crazy. I never thought that it would get like that. I can't imagine going through that, having to deal with that as a coach and a player. But for us, we don't worry about that. We just worry about us.
That's crazy. But, you know, it's been one of those special years. I just hope we keep it going.
The intensity of the game was unbelievable. Every possession was huge. It was a playoff game. I miss that. I can't wait to get back to that.
They're a good team, a lot better than the way they played this year. Of course they beat us already. I think they match up pretty good with us. They have a good mix. They're definitely a team we might have to see down the road some time.
They haven't gotten off to the start they wanted, but this game doesn't mean the moves are not going to work. We'll see down the line. We can't answer that question now.
