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'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.
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.
I think they're playing well as a unit... they're tough when everybody can contribute like that. You have to give them credit.
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.
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.
It's a big difference. You get used to playing a certain way. We'll be fine, but it takes away some of the great things we do.
Nobody cares who gets the glory. We just care about winning and playing for each other, not anyone else.
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 was a little different, but I'm happy to see those guys getting some important minutes, playing down the stretch when it really counted. Those minutes are when you really grow. Any move you make could be the best or worst move.
Dice is playing so well right now. We depend on him every night to play like a starter.
I don't know if we can play that much better. We don't need to, though. If we can keep playing like this, that's fine.
He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.
