Steve did an awesome job off the bench. He didn't complain about it. When you've got a superstar like that who comes out and plays hard after being suspended, that says a lot for his character.
Coach chewed us out because we weren't playing hard and we were lackadaisical in the first half. He fired us up and we finally started attacking the basket.
He's a special kid. To go out there and have 28 points and 26 rebounds is special. Now all he has to do is work on his free throws. But with Dwight, the sky's the limit.
We've got next year to look forward to. We've got a good ball club, and we've seen the whole demeanor of things change.
There are a lot of games left. With the NBA, you never know.
