I think we had more Blue Jays fans than Yankees fans. I think we can compete with everybody.
I thought we shot the ball well from the outside, especially in the third quarter. We had solid scoring from everyone, and defensively we were very solid.
He's helped me through everything, really. Having Johnny Mac to really show me everything and giving you positive feedback -- how I'm doing, how I'm looking. It's always good to have someone there.
We may not be the richest, but we know how to treat our residents,
I was in the right position at the right time. It was just a momentum change for us. Anytime you're in an atmosphere like that, with a crowd like that, any play you make to turn the momentum can be big.
He (Howard) had the game of his life tonight. He really stepped up when we needed him to. Brad had only eight points, but he's just as glad to pass the ball off or draw the double team and allow someone else to shoot.
Throughout my career, I've always been the kind of guy who likes to stand towards the middle of the plate. And balls come in there.
With the win we clinched the first seed for the playoffs. This was a great win over our rival. In addition to Brad's points he also had 23 rebounds, several blocks and a couple of steals.
We got good balanced scoring tonight. We did a nice job of getting the ball inside to our post players. I was pleased with the team's effort.
We have a lot to work on. But we're getting experience.
Troy Lemay, who is the heart and soul of our team, did an outstanding job of holding Rosso - who averages in the high 20s to only eight points.
We shot the ball very well. We hit seven 3-pointers and we made them come out of their zone and challenge us.
If you're not adjusting one way you're adjusting another, ... but it's good to learn that now because obviously I want to be here for a lot more years.
I'm real proud of the kids. Last year we were beat physically. This year we weren't pushed around. This win goes to last year's seniors as well as this year's.
