against character far fighting finding knew lost
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.
adrenaline feeling knew
I knew it was good. I had the adrenaline going and I was feeling it. I didn't hesitate.
coming half knew second
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.
knew
I knew I had to do something but I got into a rhythm.
bunch conference couple decent eastern five home knew steal teams weeks winning wins
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.
barely good guys half initiate involved knew order player scary second took type
The first half was unbelievable. He knew in order for us to win, he had to initiate the offense, look to get guys involved and then in the second half, he took over. Those are things you see him evolve, day-in and day-out and it was good to see him do the things he did tonight. But I think everyone understands the type of player that he is. The scary thing is he's barely scratching the surface.
badly easier everybody game home knew knows month playing road toughest
You've got to get them how you can get them. We wanted to end the month with at least a .500 record. We knew this game was the toughest one of their road trip. They wanted it just as badly as we did. Everybody knows that playing at home is a lot easier when you get that win.
close good job nice poised running seemed staying stop time
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.
basketball playing
We're not a .500 basketball club, ... but we're playing like it.
definitely hear stretch
You hear it every week: 'This is the most important stretch of the season. But, in reality, this is definitely the most important stretch.
close doubt last minds pull year
We feel like we're going to win. That's what things were like last year with this team. If it was a close game, there was no doubt in our minds that we'd find a way to pull it out.
against easy miami stuff swept whatever
Being swept by Miami was kind of an eye-opener. It shouldn't have been as easy for him to do what he did, especially without Shaq out there. But there he was, doing whatever he wanted to against us. That kind of stuff can't happen.
everybody knows possible understand
Everybody knows Gilbert. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted). But it happened.
benefit everybody help knowing knows lights possible understand voted whatever
Everybody knows Gilbert. My thing is whatever lights your fire, use it to help you and benefit your team. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted), but it happened. You don't know who voted for him and who didn't. Knowing Gil, it doesn't matter.
