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.
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.
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.
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.
I think he has a shot at winning three events at the state meet.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.
It started from horn to horn. We shot the ball well. We moved the ball well. Our defense was solid.
They were solid all along. That's what killed us. Defensively, we tried to make them make some mistakes and get some turnovers, but they moved the ball well. Elton Brand was incredible. It seemed like he didn't miss a shot out there.
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.
He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight.
Bruce is always awesome, it doesn't matter who (he's defending), Kobe or anybody else in the league, ... He's going to make them work for every point that they get. ... He was in (Bryant's) face every shot he took.
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.
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.
