Last year's second-half stretch was incredible. Hopefully we can come together and do the same thing we did last year. I have confidence in me and my team to step it up.
I feel like it's a fresh start for me. I'm feeling better than I ever felt. I feel better than even in high school or college.
I can't even remember. To me, it's just going to be like practice. . . . I don't even look at it as trying out.
Now we don't have to put too much pressure on ourselves. It was good to come on the road and get this win. I don't think anybody predicted where we'd be where we are right now in three years. This is one of the stages we've been trying to get to. Now that we're here, we want to move forward and win a playoff series.
It seems like we always pull a trick out of our bag when we play a top team in the NBA. If we could do that against the lower teams, then we would be in pretty good shape.
It's a sad story. That would surprise anybody when you hear something like that, especially as one of your peers in the NBA. We've already got a bad rap. The NBA as a whole, we've got a bad rap.
It's a special day to be playing on. I can pay my respect to the man. I dedicate the game to him.
It's a big loss. In my eyes, he's the Defensive Player of the Year.
(It's) going to be a playoff-like game, and we've got to bring it.
It's going to motivate us. We hear a lot of stuff, they want to play us and things like that, and we take that as motivation.
They are scaring a whole lot of teams.
There was no way I could have taken the final shot tonight. They had three people right there, and Earl Watson was wide open.
It's a great honor. It's a team thing. The team should have gotten Player of the Month.
I told him that we needed each other for this team to be good. I need him, he needs me. We got to make it work. If it don't work between us, it's not going to work on the court. Ever since then, it started clicking.
