basketball great playing relaxed year
I think he had a great camp. I think it's the first year John's playing relaxed and you can tell by what he's doing out there on the basketball court.
beat chance character composure extra gave great guys incentive kept lead playoff shirts somewhere sustain time wear
We got things done at the right time tonight. Every time we went down we kept our composure and got back into the game. We were able to get a lead and sustain it. We showed a lot of character being that those guys (Washington) already had their playoff shirts made up and wanted to wear them after the game. We didn't give them a chance to do that, now they have to do it somewhere else. We had an extra incentive to beat them and that gave us a great lift. We just did everything right tonight.
advantage against ball chances good great playing teams throw took turned
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
ball everybody great job moved playing
We moved the ball around today. Everybody did a great job playing off each other.
giving great guys players playing realize season today
It's not like defenses are out there just giving guys 50 and 60 points. You have to look at what's going on this season and realize there are just as many great players playing today as there ever has been in this game.
came coach coming dizzy feeling felt good great halftime playing ready sit stopped telling worked
It was a great feeling (to sit out) because I didn't feel good at all, ... I was telling Coach when I was getting ready to go back in that I wasn't feeling that well and he just told me to come back, and fortunately everything worked out fine. I just didn't feel good. I was dizzy out there the whole game. Once I stopped playing at halftime and came back in, I just never felt right. I think I'm coming down with something.
cherish embracing good great people time wanting
It was a great feeling, man. My first time being here, people embracing me the way they were. It's something I'm going to cherish ... It kind of made me more nervous, just wanting to give them a good show.
accomplish franchise great honor knowing meant
It's an honor you know to be able to accomplish something like that knowing what he meant to this franchise and to the league. It's a great accomplishment, but without my guys, there's no way to get that accomplished.
badly ball care great job struggled tracy
All of it is bad. We just struggled so badly offensively. We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. They did a great job with Tracy (McGrady) struggling. Sloppy, we just didn't play well, just didn't take care of the ball.
face good great hand though
I though I got a pretty good look. He had a hand in my face (Andre Miller) but I got a great look.
great player weekend
If that didn't let him know this weekend that he can be a great player in this league, then nothing will. But I think he got the message.
came chris everybody fun game great job putting
It was a fun game to watch. Everybody just came together. Chris just did a great job of putting everybody on his back.
advantage great himself played took
He took advantage of his opportunities. He just got himself involved. He played a great game.
season
We just need everyone to contribute. We feel like this is a whole new season for us.
