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.
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 knew I had to do something but I got into a rhythm.
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.
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.
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.
It just shows you that after all the turmoil we've been through, we are starting to pick it up, and we're almost to the point where we were last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team. We didn't get to the point where we are giving up or the people upstairs are trying to disassemble this team. We believe that this is a pretty good team.
It's hard, but everybody goes through it with the exception of Detroit, who hasn't had any injuries. You've just got to find a way to win with the situation. It's been hard because of late we had played well together. We finally got some great chemistry.
