Everybody knows Gilbert. We don't understand how it's possible (for him to be omitted). But it happened.
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.
For him to get snubbed is an injustice. It's not logical. I don't understand it whatsoever.
I think we are really starting to click. We are starting to understand what it takes in order for us to be successful, with everyone getting touches. They don't know who to give all their attention. You concentrate on two guys and there is still another guy who can get 20 points a night. This is a great nucleus and I'm glad it's finally starting to come together.
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.
