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.
What it's about for us is playing 48 minutes. Whether they got tired or not, I don't know. But we wanted to keep the pressure on them and keep pushing it back at them.
We are not worried about the hype. (The Mavericks) are a good team and we know that. We are going to be playing them on our home court and we know that. We are going to play hard and whatever happens, happens.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.
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.
They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
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.
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.
