It's six games, and pretty much everybody we're playing is a quality team. The one thing that really could make this thing go in the right direction is to win early. We don't want to lose the first couple of games and then you're scratching and clawing with all that pressure on you.
The one thing that could make this thing go in the right direction is to get a couple games early. We don't want to do like we did the first road trip when we lost the first couple, and were scratching and clawing and putting pressure on ourselves.
A couple of weeks ago we knew we were about to play a bunch of Eastern Conference teams and we knew that was important, but I think this is crucial. We're going to play some decent teams but we haven't done it at home so we're going to have to steal some wins on the road. For us, this is a very important stretch. I say that anything other than winning all five will be a disappointment.
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.
I knew it was good. I had the adrenaline going and I was feeling it. I didn't hesitate.
I knew I had to do something, but I got into a rhythm. Gilbert told me coming out in the second half to just let it ride. He shouldn't have to tell me that.

I'm just trying to figure out how in the world this guy wasn't taken in the first round. He doesn't play like a guy who is right out of high school. It's too early to tell and you don't want to put a lot of pressure on a young guy but I think he has a chance to be a very good player.
Everyone pretty much knows that the season is all downhill after the break. So this is real important for us.
Everybody's talking about Detroit, Detroit. They'll slip up and see the Dallas Mavericks with the best overall record when the season's over with.
I want to make it. Don't get me wrong; my loyalties are with this team and doing everything I can do to make this team better. But I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't want to make it. I'm staying positive about the whole situation. My job is to get as many wins as possible, and hopefully that will help out in the process.
I wanted them to learn about the difference experiences that I went through, and the different things that go on in my life
It's what we should have done a long time ago. It's what we expect.
It's been this way for the last week and a half. We didn't want it to come down to the last game, but this is fun.
