Phenomenal. He's playing the way he's been playing all year. He got it going and he tried to let Caron (Butler) and myself get it going. We kind of struggled a little bit, but the guy's playing awesome, man.
Let's face it - when myself, Gilbert and Caron step up, we play a lot better as a team.
Oh yeah, ... Playoffs for sure. We could definitely make a lot of noise. We could make a run to win it all.
I had a step on everybody. So it was difficult for anybody to block the shot.
We knew if we lost this game, our back was really going to be against the wall. It was another show of character as far as fighting and finding a way to get a win.
You hear it every week: 'This is the most important stretch of the season. But, in reality, this is definitely the most important stretch.
We all know this team (the Warriors) likes to get on the break and play freely. We wanted to make it defensively hard for those guys and move the ball a little bit, and offensively, beat them in their own game.
We all know this team likes to get on the break and play freely. And we wanted to defensively make it tough for those guys and make them run a set offense and move the ball a little bit. We did a great job as far as staying poised and continuing to play ball.
Tonight was one of those nights when we were short-handed.
We would get down, find a way to get close or take the lead, and they'd come on a nice big run. Those are the things you have to stop on the road. Every time it seemed that we got over the hump, they did a good job of staying poised and running their offense.
We're not a .500 basketball club, ... but we're playing like it.
For him to get snubbed is an injustice. It's not logical. I don't understand it whatsoever.
It's one of those things where you always want to get better, you always want to improve, ... Every season, you want to be working on something in your game and that's something, along with my defense, that I want to improve on this season. That's the approach we need to take as a team.
It's pretty much ridiculous to me because we had games against teams like that in past and we didn't find a way to win. If you ask me, it's the opposite way around. We play well against the best teams in the league and played poorly against the average teams. We just need to get our act together.
