Tim did what he did for us this summer in Puerto Rico, and what he's done for San Antonio all these years. He's just solid down the stretch. You get him the ball and he gets you a basket.
When I was open, I just knew it was time to make a shot.
He didn't play the last time we were down here, so he was the new X-factor thrown into the mix and I'm sure they weren't prepared for that.
Sometimes it's like I have to remind myself that that really happened. We were a good team ... Not a long time ago, but last year. It's funny how things change so fast.
I caught a couple of stingers out there. It's been a long time since I swung a bat, and it was an aluminum bat way back then.
It was good to see Nate, but we were trying to win tonight. There's a lot to be said for his time here, because he did a lot of great things.
It's been a long time since we've won, period. Just winning a game is paramount around here. We haven't played that poorly, we just haven't put together four quarters. Tonight we were wavering a little bit but we hung with it. I liked the fight that we had out there, and that carried us through.
I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
I think we've had a perfect complement of learning basketball and getting in shape. My description of Bob is he's the head coach, he respects us out there on the floor and we do our job.
I think we all believe we're a good team.
I think there's a growing realization or acknowledgment in the Legislature that we simply can't afford to get tougher and tougher on penalties every session. Enhancing penalties may have been politically popular in the past, but we simply don't have the money or the (prison) space now to do it.
Jason Kidd throws funky passes all the time. He has a lot of assists, but he also has a lot of turnovers. You've got to take some chances.
We got caught sleeping. We were so focused on the pick-and-roll coverage. Everybody turned and we said, 'Oh, you know what.' We got out to contest the shot, but it was too late.
We got away with one. That was something where I was like, 'Well, what can you do?' I can recall plenty of games in my career where I was on the opposite side of that.
