The regular season got us the home court throughout the playoffs, and that was our goal. Now it's time to get down to business.
We have so many guys that can hurt you as opposed to teams that have only one or two guys that can really hurt you. You can adjust your defense to stop one or two guys. YOu can't do that when you play us. We have too many options.
We're still a long way away from 72. If we're close in March, come talk to me then.
He's played a lot of years and not gotten to the Finals yet, where he wants to be.
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.
It was crazy, crazy. I can't really say too much, honestly. After the game, I've got to talk about what happened. I wish we had something where the refs had to do that, where they had to explain what happened.
They turned it on a little bit, but we settled down a little bit.
They fought. I give them a lot of credit. We had to grind it out.
That's crazy, man. I can't even fathom that. That's crazy.
That's just crazy. I can't even fathom that. Wow.
No disrespect to anybody, but it's always fun to play the other elite teams in the league. It makes a difference.
