I'd be all for it. I know that's up to management, not us. But we might have to bring him back. We definitely need him right now. I know it's something that would have to be handled in-house. And Kwame would have to come back and demonstrate to them that he'll do what is necessary. But I'd love to entertain the idea. I might suggest it myself. He has the size and strength and toughness we need right now.
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.
It's hard to say after a loss, but we made some good strides on the defensive end. We had a couple of breakdowns, but as a whole you can find some positives in our play.
It shows a lot about the character of this team, as far as sticking to it and not giving up or people upstairs trying to disassemble this team. We didn't think it would take this long to do the things we thought we were capable of doing.
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.
You don't want to come across a scenario going into the end of March or beginning of April when you have to win eight out of 10. This is a great opportunity for us to create some distance and climb up in the standings now. You don't want to continue to be around .500, one or two games above, one or two games below, and then in the last month or so you really have to turn it on.
It is very disappointing. Tonight was a great opportunity to win. Unfortunately it didn't happen that way. We got a big game against Milwaukee on Wednesday. They're chasing us for that fifth spot, so it will be like a playoff game. Everybody needs to step up their game, and hopefully we can do something there.
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 always good to play so well when you have the family and friends come out and see you play. It's always a good feeling.
It's always good to have my family and friends come see me play.
