He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
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.
Everybody came on. I'm not surprised, but pleased with the focus. Even with the score, they didn't want a letdown. They came in and played hard. Everybody understands. From one (minute) to 48, they did it the right way. All-in-all it was a very solid game.
Look at all their games. They've been right in the cusp of winning a lot of games. They always play us well. They did when they came to San Antonio.
I thought he had an excellent mentality in the second half. He came off screens, really got in the middle and really made them pay for playing halfway on me.
I think we're all feeling pretty healthy. I'm feeling pretty good. So, with that in mind, it's all coming together and I'm excited about hitting the playoffs.
It has been a long journey. We felt like we would prevail because we felt like the idea was such a good idea.
We have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.
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 think he has a shot at winning three events at the state meet.
I was looking before the game and I'm like 91/2 years older than him. That is just crazy. (Howard) is just so talented, so developed. He doesn't look like a 19-year-old. He has so much promise and I'm just glad that I will be out of the league when he is peaking.
Just like the good, old days, when I used to make bank shots. Get his name for me. I need to consult with him.
I think it's a great situation for everyone, especially myself. I felt good tonight. I felt like I was moving pretty well and not in a lot of pain, so it was good.
I think Pop's still mad that we should have had 81 (victories) or something. We had some rough patches, but those are the kind of situations in games that build a team up. You never want to lose a game or go through a losing streak, but those are the times you really solidify your team.
