We're definitely positive. To win a few games obviously would be nice. We'd like to win the series, but being realistic, they're the No. 1 seed. We're just going to try to take a game or two, and on any day, you never know what can happen.
We've beaten Dallas and some other teams when we've had guys out. Every week there's a different guy out. We're used to it now and guys are getting used to stepping up. So it hasn't been a problem for us but it would be definitely better to have (Ford back).
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
I will definitely play in the world championships. We will just go trying to take teams out as the underdogs, and then we will be happy.
I'm definitely honoured to be the No. 1 ticket-holder. I've followed the league since I was a kid and I've got some close friends playing in the NBL.
I'm definitely going to be coming into sport. It will be in Australia. Basketball will hopefully be the priority,
I'm just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the year after ? but it's definitely a goal I have in my sights.
We tried to make him shoot the jumper in the first half and we brought help on him (in the second half). He started to find teammates, and that's the sign of a great player. He didn't try to come out and get 50. He came out and nearly got a triple-double. The smart players know how to do that.
We just need to know what it feels like to win a playoff game. Even if we don't win this series, as a young team to build for next year it's just good to get a playoff win.
We win this game, everything changes. That's the story of our season. We make things very hard on ourselves.
It would be nice to own a team in Melbourne, seeing I'm from here, but whether it's Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, it doesn't matter. I think they're all good markets.
I've never had a buzzer-beating game-winner, but to do it in the NBA against the world champions is a great feeling. The guy I've always looked up to is Tim Duncan . So, to do this against his team is a great feeling for me.
To be honest it is going to be hard for him. Teams are going to sit on him and make him pass the ball. Teams know they cannot allow Michael to score 30 or 40 because it keeps us in games. So they are going to make him pass the ball. At the same time we need more from other players.
There's no way we're going to lose Game 3 and come back and win this thing. There's not going to be any fairy tales. We need to get Game 3.
