What is needed changes from night to night. It depends on who is healthy or how different guys are playing. If you put guys in a position where they know they will get their opportunities, then guys get the job done.
We have maintained for some time that Spinifex Ridge is rapidly emerging as a mineral project with solid prospects for a mining operation. With the continuing high world molybdenum prices there is a need for an early completion of feasibility work. WorleyParsons' industry experience, delivery of projects of similar scale, innovation and capacity to move through to a bankable study within tight timeframes, were key criteria in securing this contract.
This was a team win tonight. We needed it. I was just trying to get to the rim and I did.
That's our roadblock. So even though we could be down a couple bodies, I think it's definitely a good way for us to really get a feel for where we are.
It takes some feel-good with you to the All-Star break.
It's just in terms of our team -- the talent that's been put together, the contracts that have been put out -- whether or not the timing is going to allow for him and us to continue to mesh. That's the only pressure.
It's a belief in progress. Wins like (Tuesday's) help build that belief and that confidence that you can win against good teams in their building. Road wins always give you that extra belief.
It tells you something about this team that we were able to start the season off correctly after that first half,
It not just going to fall into our lap. We're going to have to go out and earn it.
We're having to work so hard to stay in games. If we didn't have to fight back from 10 down, 12 down ... it takes a lot of energy.
When the opportunities are there, I'll probably have to be a little more aggressive offensively, instead of just waiting for a shot in the corner.
We remember how we lost that last game. That's why you have to play every second. This has historically been a tough trip, having to come to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or whatever combination.
We're still learning as a team how to finish a game. We had an opportunity but didn't get it done. We have to keep learning from these setbacks.
I've discovered new parts of my manhood, places I couldn't get to without loving someone else unconditionally and putting others before myself.
