If we had won a game like that, shooting as poorly as we did, that would have been one of the more impressive wins of the season.
I don't know what Rip was doing, but he was hot, so I just kept going to him. He was thirsty today.
I'd be my choice, to be honest with you, but Steve Nash is another great choice. He's kept that team afloat, and not just afloat, but winning a division.
We take nothing from this. We're lucky that we've got a game tomorrow so we don't have to sit too long on it. It'll give us a chance to start a new streak at home.
We take a lot of pride in being a good road team. From Day 1, we talked about being a great road team.
We are finally playing a team that's fighting for something, just like us. That's something new for us. The last few weeks we've been playing teams that are out of the race and have nothing to play for, and we sort of let our guard down. When you play against tough teams like Miami, there's no room for error. You can't let your guard down. I am looking for to it, man, I really am.
Guys are definitely feeling good right now. We made it here healthy; that was our main goal. ... We're feeling great right now. I think there's a little extra pep in everybody's step today.
He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.
He's 18, but he looks, the way he's built, like he's 27 or 28. And he doesn't act like a kid. He's very mature for his age.
He's changed the whole outlook of our team. Now, we can start getting some of our just due as players.
He has a chance to maybe be the best ever to lace them up. At 21 years old right now, and doing what he's doing ... I mean, the kid should be a junior in college.
He had a tough night against us last time, but he was having a tough night against us in Miami, too, before he got going in that fourth quarter. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to it, though. It's always nice to play them.
He has brought a new brand of basketball here. We're not boring to watch anymore.
I can't put my finger on it. They're a tough team. They play extremely hard, mix it up and play some zone, some man and keep you off-balance. They're very well-coached and they're very disciplined.
