When he gets into a rhythm like that where he starts going, it's like you want to sit there and watch him play. You get caught up in what he does and that's probably the worst thing that we can do is just sit there and watch him play, but you get mesmerized by what he's doing.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
Paper doesn't mean anything to us. It's about going out there and playing together. It's about chemistry and people accepting roles. More talent doesn't always mean you're a better team.
I am feeling pretty good right now. I am as healthy right now as I have been all season. I got a couple of shots to go down tonight and that is good because they haven't been going down lately.
Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other.
They approached us with the problem, and we fixed it. We dont see any of that as a breach of contract.
Just like the good, old days, when I used to make bank shots. Get his name for me. I need to consult with him.
Now we've got the pressure on them, down two games. Now we've got to go into Arco and really get this first one. That puts the ultimate pressure -- elimination -- on people.
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 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.
He knows his role, and he's sticking to it.
I got a couple of shots to go down tonight, and that is good because they haven't been going down lately. It makes the game a lot easier.
Not only does he have an impact directly, but I think it's filtered through the team.
I didn't know if there was going to be enough time. I turned to shoot and then saw him at last second and tried to fire it to him real quick. I probably should have shot the ball.
