It's just another game, really. I mean, it's Christmas and that's a little more fun, playing a big game on TV. Other than that, it's early. I just want to be playing that team in June.
That was a lot of fun playing in this building. It's been a long time since we had that college-game feeling.
I thought he played good. He was active. ... He had blocks. He played physical defensively and picked up a few fouls.
I'm very, very excited for this opportunity to kind of resurface in the community and the arena that I miss playing in and that I loved so much when I was there.
He's played a lot of years and not gotten to the Finals yet, where he wants to be.
He's a guy who can score anywhere on the court. He passes. He plays great defense,
I think he feels like he has a weight lifted off his shoulders. He's playing freely. He's playing a lot more aggressive. He's going to be great, man.
That's just not me. I'm a scoring point guard. I'm always looking to make plays for people, but it's not my first instinct.
I think they're playing well as a unit... they're tough when everybody can contribute like that. You have to give them credit.
This is a very disappointing loss for us. We have to win these games and we know that. We slipped up tonight and they played hard. This is a game where we feel we beat ourselves. We've done a good job of not doing that very often this year and when we have done that, we have picked up right away.
That's going to be a major boost, to get Lindsey back and get Dale going, to play him some more minutes. He played some great minutes in Indiana. To have them two really adds a new dimension to our team.
Our game is what it is. It's the best two teams playing, and really, it's the two teams that I expect to be playing in June again.
Even though (Brown) loves the rookies he has - because they play extremely hard and he loves anybody who plays hard and plays right - he is at the stage of his coaching career and life where he needs veteran players. Larry loves guys who have been in fights and wars and know what to do every time they're out on the court. That's why I think he'd love to get a guy like Kenyon Martin .
This is a team that, right now, looks like we will be playing in the first round. They are a difficult team. They have guys that can get going. Of course they have Allen Iverson, who is probably the best scorer over the past 10 years of this league.
