I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life.
Basketball's so much like life: if something's going great, you wait a minute, it will change. If something's going bad, you wait a minute, it will change. So I try to play things on such an even keel, knowing that things are going to change. You take the good with the bad; you don't get too excited, you don't get too down and sometimes that's the hardest thing in the world to do when you're in the midst of it, but that's the best way to handle it.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.
I thought we really kept our composure, kept fighting. We just kind of found a way to get it done.
I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.
It (stinks) - especially because we really feel like we gave this one away. The last game we got beat pretty good. Tonight we come out and try to sure up a couple of things, and we still get a bunch of turnovers and missed free throws, and we still have a chance to win down the stretch and give it away.
It was surprising how he shot the ball tonight, but he got in a zone there, got his rhythm down, came off and was real confident with his shot. He had an unbelievable night and he's had an unbelievable year.
It should be a blast. To have the entire team there, (the people) are psyched.
It's been a tough couple of weeks in that respect.
It's gotten a little bit better. Same old, same old.
It's great to get (home-court) wrapped up. I'm feeling good right now -- feeling healthy.
It was a play that Flip drew up with a lot of options to it, ... I was just one of the options. Shaq was the first one, Ray was the second and I was kind of the third.
We were turning the ball over and we were giving up offensive boards. We needed to stop giving the ball up and blocking out better.
We don't sell anything to anybody. You either want to play with us or play against us.
