We got a couple of wins going. We're playing good, passing the ball. If we keep playing like that we'll be on a good roll.
They're a good team. They've been playing with each other a long time and winning championships. And in the third quarter, you could see it out there.
No disrespect to Toronto, but you have to win these type of games.
This stops the bleeding. Things were starting to get negative around the locker room, players were getting on each other. But we get a win like this, it relaxes us. Now, we've just got to come out and play and get the next one.
If we go out there and play defense, we can win games.
I heard coach ask for a new clipboard. You got to love that. He wants to win badly and so do we.
We've got next year to look forward to. We've got a good ball club, and we've seen the whole demeanor of things change.
There are a lot of games left. With the NBA, you never know.
Other teams have started to feel like they're at home when they play in Orlando. We've got to start being more physical and let these guys know that this is our place.
I thought I played him well. We're just making it tough on ourselves. It shouldn't have come to that.
Steve Francis wasn't playing like the Steve Francis we all know. I think he'll show the real Steve in New York.
Steve did an awesome job off the bench. He didn't complain about it. When you've got a superstar like that who comes out and plays hard after being suspended, that says a lot for his character.
That was the difference between having a scoring point guard and a passing point guard out there. Steve is a scoring point guard; Carlos is a passing point guard.
We do want to go to the playoffs, no doubt. But we've got to worry about each team that comes in here.
