I took it to heart. Because, in all honesty, if I was playing well, it would be a different story.
It's a wonderful feeling to have the opportunity make that team. It's something not a lot of players have the opportunity to do.
They put a lot of attention on Gilbert,
Always fun to watch the two teams play. Both teams love to get up and run, put the ball in the basket. Both meetings you definitely got your money's worth. We stole one, they came out and stole one on the road, too. It's one of those things you've just got to put it behind you and get ready for the next game.
We feel bad for Andray but the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off. It's sad that something like this happened to him during his rookie season, but he will be all right. We will continue to pray for him, hope for a speedy recovery and hold down the fort until he gets back.

We know what our crowd is going to do. It's going to be fun.
We know what Juan is capable of doing when he starts to feel it. We know he is going to be in the mind frame to show people why we should have kept him.
We have to give a better showing than that, ... I'm not worried about the offense. We know we can score. Give them credit, they hit some open shots, but we have to do a better job of getting a team out of their comfort zone, stopping their runs early. I know we were missing some guys and we're still trying to find ourselves but we have to play better than that.
We are almost where we were at this point last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team as far as sticking with it. We believe that this is a pretty good team. The way that we are playing defensively and offensively, you can see that we have something special here. I think it's just a matter of time before we get even better.
When we first left, I think the most important thing was to come back and play well, like, 'You should have kept me around,' or 'You should have re-signed me. After that, it's just a point where you want to win, and we were fortunate enough to get the win, but also play pretty good games individually.
I know a lot of people will say we're in the entertainment industry, but we represent franchises that are sometimes among the biggest businesses in that city. I'm fine with a jacket and shirt with a collar and pants that aren't jeans. We're professionals and we should be putting forth a professional image. I don't see what the problem is.
He told me he didn't really enjoy last year because he thought it was going to be something that occurred every year. This opened his eyes a little bit. He wants to go enjoy it and have fun.
We're not a .500 basketball club, ... but we're playing like it.
