city class definitely entire meant outside
What he meant to his game, not just to this city but to the entire league, with his sportsmanship and his class and his character, it doesn't come around often. Just the things that he did outside of this court, I think it's long overdue. He's definitely deserving.

We're definitely going to see those guys down the road. They're one of the elite teams in the league, so at some point ... we're going to lock up.
both came coach couple definitely dominate game grown happy marriage medium perfect playing sacrificed score since struggles understand waiting
You know what I mean, just waiting to collide. There were some struggles in my first couple of months. There were definitely some struggles with Coach Brown. But we both sacrificed a lot. We came to a happy medium and it's been a perfect marriage ever since then. My game has definitely grown playing for Coach Brown. I think I look at the game in a different light. I understand that I can dominate a game now without having to score as much as I usually do on most nights.

We are definitely going to have to work it out where all of us are on the floor together. We've got the man that is in control of it, so we should be able to work that out.

They're a good team, a lot better than the way they played this year. Of course they beat us already. I think they match up pretty good with us. They have a good mix. They're definitely a team we might have to see down the road some time.
aggressive certain definitely game shooting step tough
It was just one of those nights. Sometimes the game is going a certain way, and I feel like I've got to try to step up and be aggressive shooting the ball. These have definitely been two tough games.
ball couple defense last transition weeks
When you have to take the ball out, you can't run. This last couple of weeks our defense hasn't been the same. When you have to take that ball out, you can't get transition baskets.
against feed love people playing quiet
We love playing on the road. We love the idea of 14, 15, 18,000 people all being against you and being able to quiet the crowd. We love that. We feed off that.

We're never out of the game. You can just never measure pride. We're never out of the game, no matter what the score looks like. Tonight was a great example of that.

We knew that they would come in fighting. We had control of it, but we kind of let up a little bit in the fourth quarter and they brought it back, but we pretty much controlled the game.

We knew it was going to take time to mesh. We're starting to get our swagger back.

We're not into it. Because we know once we do get into it, it's a long grind. We've played until June the last two years, and that's long. That's three months. When it's time, we'll be ready.
