It was a good month. We were able to win more ballgames than we lost. We built ourselves a pretty good cushion going into the following one. Hopefully next month will be just as productive for us.
Oh come on, you have got to be kidding me. I had good looks but missed them. It is as simple as that. They just weren't falling. Some nights I am on fire and other nights I have nights like tonight, where the shots weren't going in.
If this is a formula that's going to carry us the rest of the season, I don't know. It's a pretty good formula for us. We'll see if we can keep it going.
It feels good to be mentioned among the elite players who have ever played the game.
I think you have to represent your city and your organization. Tracy's been a good friend of mine for a long, long time, and I look forward to him putting on a good show.
That's a good, astute observation. I wanted the shot. I always want the ball in my hands. They had me covered. I wish I could have gotten a better screen on the play. But Luke had a good look in the corner.
It feels good to finally get one of these close games.
I went after it a little bit more aggressively and the team did a good job looking for me. I felt we had to get something going in the third quarter.
It is what it is. We came out, gave a good effort. They executed better, knocked down more shots and won the game.
You want to come out here and play good basketball. The fans here know their basketball and want to see good basketball.
Oh yeah? That's pretty good company -- excellent company.
I didn't quite get the look I wanted. I'm not even sure if I got it off in time.
Lamar is a dangerous player. There are not too many like him in the league. As a matter of fact, he's probably the only one in the league that size who can handle the ball, post you up and shoot the 3.
I just wanted to come out and provide some energy, and my shot started falling. It turned into a lot of momentum for us. The third quarter has been our nemesis all year.
