It was just a long night. Things happen, the season happens. Those guys played well tonight; give them credit, ... We compounded them playing well with myself playing very, very badly.
He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball very well and were able to get a lot of guys a lot of minutes. It was a good victory, and now we prepare for the next one.
I don't even know how he got it off, honestly. I think he shot it with his left hand. I went after his right hand, thinking he was going to float it with the time going down like that, but somehow he got it up there and it stayed up there on the rim and went in. It was just a great shot, a great effort by those guys to turn a turnover into a fast-break that quickly and get it to the rim.
It's a great feeling. A great feeling, ... In years past we've lost six, seven, eight, nine guys in a year, and rebuilt. I think we've really got a core here that we're in love with, that obviously is a pretty decent core, and we're going to have it together for a couple years.
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.
