I think the energy we play with at home, we need to bring that on the road. That's what it's all about.
I think we stayed hungry. But ... we can't put ourselves in a position to be down 20 (points) to be able to start playing basketball.
I saw an opening and I took it. It was important for us to get a win like this. Every time we win one like this it makes us stronger for the future.
He has a smile almost every day, and just his game speaks for himself. You can tell he's having a great time.
My situation couldn't get any worse in Detroit. I was playing what, six minutes? I was just there. I was a little annoyed, you know? But I got through it. Our job is to maintain ourselves ready to play, take advantage whenever called. Hopefully I will get that opportunity here.
I love playing the game and to me, that?s part of being creative. People come out to see a show and be entertained so why not? It?s part of being the point guard and understanding the game and how it?s played.
I have nothing to say to him. I mean, we didn't talk when I was here, so, why talk now?
I never ran into somebody that big. I'll be all right.
After the season, he'll go for it. I'll be there, front row.
In the first quarter we were a little slow to get into our motion. Our job is to come off the bench and provide energy.
I didn't think it was going to be kind of weird, but it (was). I was having fun. I love those guys and I miss them.
Hopefully he's still hungry, and he's going to get a chance here. It's up to him to take advantage of it.
He's very quick and fast on the break. Very crafty and he gets his teammates involved. Every time you get a player like that, he's hard to stop.
This has given us confidence. Next year is going to be great.
