We're just trying to win all the games we're supposed to win, and not play down to the level of the competition.
We enjoy the challenge of beating teams on their home turf. The fans will be going crazy and screaming for them like they should, and the Bucks will be feeding off that. We enjoy that level of competition.
We enjoy that challenge of beating a team on their own turf, when their fans are going crazy and screaming for them like they should. We enjoy that challenge and that level of competition.
Watching him is unbelievable. The kid is a freak of nature.
Watching him is unbelievable. His team's one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, he gets the MVP of this game with all these great players. It's unbelievable. The kid is a freak of nature.
We're going to run some decoys for him. We're not going to run plays for him.
We're going to miss Larry Brown, but so many times it was just about Larry. It was always, 'Larry did this, Larry did that,' with the result that I don't think the players got enough credit.
When we come to him late, he always delivers. Tonight he hit some huge shots. It's huge for me and everybody on this team to know that when it comes down to these situations, it doesn't have to be me.
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 just an entirely different team in the fourth quarter. We're so mentally tough and we've seen every different situation so many times that when we face something, we know which way to attack it.
We're just looking to be consistent now. Hopefully we can keep being good defensively and keep working offensively. That started a few games ago; we had a good win last night so we just want to keep it going.
We're battle tested. We're been in that situation so many times. We just had our confidence.
When he gets a tech, he always seems to be a little more in tune with what's going on. We ran his plays a little more after that, trying to keep him going.
When he don't bounce right back, you know he's hurt. I don't know what it is, but I don't worry too much about that guy.
