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.
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?
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.
He's better than anybody in this league off the bench. He's better than 80% of the starters in this league. He's something we've got to go to when he comes in the game because he's a mismatch almost every night.
They say a series doesn't start until somebody wins a game on the road. Hopefully, we can start this series on Saturday.
He's changed the whole outlook of our team. Now, we can start getting some of our just due as players.
It's been a struggle for him, but I know he's feeling good about the trade and how it went down. Things will start looking up for him.
He's a good friend of mine. When Larry took that job, he called me like six times in two days.
It takes a while -- a long time, because we have so many different sets, options. It's not just the regular old sets that every NBA team runs. We run a lot of stuff. It's kind of complicated.
I don't think so. It's going to be a long time before we even possibly see each other (in the conference finals), and even if we do, our records will be 0-0.
I just wish that we had something where like after the game I got to talk about what happened down the stretch, why I did this or that. I wish we had something where the refs had to do it and explain what happened and why they did this and that. It just ain't fair, man.
I don't know what Rip was doing, but he was hot, so I just kept going to him. He was thirsty today.
