I think we should come back and repeat. That's how I feel about that.
I think at the beginning of the season, he was playing too much to the crowd, especially on the road. We talked to him about controlling his emotions and told him to show his emotions to us, instead of the fans.
Joe was all over the place. He was terrific.
I think they thought Walter was going for the dish, but Walter was finishing. He just made that read, and Walter was good for us.
We lost most of our scoring (from a year ago). But we knew we were going to come out here and make this run.
We made up our mind that we had to start going after loose balls and finish out possessions.
He went there for an hour and just disappeared.
He was hurt so bad. That's my guy, and I've really got a lot of love for him. A lot of other guys would have quit, but he didn't quit for us. He was going hard.
He was hurt so bad. A lot of other guys would have quit.
This wasn't our style of play at all. Like I said, we had to adjust and play whichever way we had to play, and if that meant grinding it out like that, we got it done.
We told them to be ready, you never know what's going to happen. And they went in and did a good job.
We're playing with a lot of confidence right now.
When he's making threes, that's big for us. Teams can't sag off us in the lane.
I just have to step my game up, I just have to get those rebounds - there's no other choice. I've had it all along. It's tournament time now. You feel me?
