You know, the guy is averaging 28 points a game. You have to wonder what some of them were looking at when they cast their vote. I'm sure that it gets political, but the good news is that he's on the team. This is where he belongs.
We needed it to start the game to know for one, we've got it in us. And for two, it was something we needed to do. We worked very hard yesterday on getting the focus to come out early, start out strong and we did it.
We fought back and it seemed like every time we got it close they made a play.
Unless you sit down and talk to your dad and say, 'Why weren't you there?' and he says, 'I'm going to really tell you the truth,' then you won't know.
When you're healthy, you can do so many great things.
When another team is at home and they've got that rhythm going at the end you never know what can happen.
We came out of the locker room knowing we had let this team back in the game. We knew we had to get back our focus.
We came out early, hard from the start, ... We didn't want to give a team any confidence in our building. I think it all starts with me. So I tried to come out tonight and attack. Hopefully my guys followed and it did.
We didn't come out in the fourth like our usual selves. Most of the time in the fourth, we'll make the right plays. We made some of the wrong plays in the fourth tonight.
We worked out at the same gym in Chicago, and I was on him the whole summer trying to get him to come down here. He was pretty close, but his decision was to go to the Spurs, and you can't be mad at his decision.
We still have a lot of games left, but we're happy about that.
Y'all might have made him mad. I think y'all lit a fire under him, so that's good.
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
We're still looking. We hope it will come. If it doesn't come soon, we'll have an early vacation.
