I am a little more excited now because we've got some good teams coming in over the next week or so. I am looking forward to that.
He had a tough night against us last time, but he was having a tough night against us in Miami, too, before he got going in that fourth quarter. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to it, though. It's always nice to play them.
We'll be on their turf, where they beat us before, so we'll be looking forward to it.
I know I am looking forward to it because they are the 'other' best team in the league. Of course, you want to play against the best. We've gotten off to a great start, and so have they.
I'm excited to have the USA across my chest. I'm glad they thought I was capable enough to regain our dominance. So I am proud of that, and I am definitely looking forward to it.
It was a big game. We looked forward to it because we felt like they are the other best team in the NBA.
It was a big game and we looked forward to it. It's always big when you are playing the best. I think I did a pretty good job on Duncan.
It's always good when the top teams play. You always look forward to that. Obviously, we have some history with that team being in that tough, grind-it-out series last year. It's going to be fun.
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.
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.
