You have to change in the playoffs. Even though we wanted to score, we knew we had to play at least some decent defense to have a chance to win the game. So we made a valiant effort.
What I've heard is that he doesn't have a lot of heart. If I don't like what I see, I'll say, 'Hey, you can't let guys run over you.'
What I've heard is he doesn't have a lot of heart.
Every game is important in the last 20 games; you have to win as many as you can. Whoever is playing the best basketball is going to go to the playoffs. We have to get every win we can and play well.
When you are playing a team like that, it is tough to come back. You got to have enough legs to win the game. Burks and (forward Hakim) Warrick came in and played great but it wasn't quite enough.
We wanted to tell the younger guys it was just one game.
We don't want to give teams easy baskets. That mindset is going to help us in the playoffs. It's who we are.
I was shocked at how they played us and the confidence they had. They were arrogant and that's how you have to be. They had that mentality of 'I'm going in the arena and beat their (butts).' We didn't have that.
We also sponsor the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday celebration every third Monday of January.
It gets us ready for everything in the world.
That was huge for them. And they kept that momentum into the third quarter.
It hurt real badly. I couldn't even run.
If it's going to help you, I don't see why (you can't use it). If you're wearing it for a fashion statement, I can see why the league might have a problem with it. Me, I wouldn't wear it if it didn't help.
He's deserving of it, man. He's a great guy, great coach, was a great player. People said he wouldn't win the championship with the San Antonio Spurs, and he proved them wrong.
