That comes down to veteran leadership. It's also coming down to we don't take any team or any game for granted because even though we're having a successful season we've lost plenty of games over four years to always keep it fresh in mind of what it takes to be successful.
I was trying to crowd them and keeping them from shooting the 3 because they are a decent 3-point shooting team. Sometimes we were overplaying them and they were capitalizing, and getting to the basket. Early in the second half, our help defense was so-so, but give them credit they did a good job. They were very aggressive.
We believe that Jerry has been attacked because of his work as a union official and we are committed to do everything we can to get him reinstated.
We capitalized on a few rebound opportunities, fast breaks and transition buckets. It came at the right moment.
Michael is a genius as a basketball player. What he went through physically last year makes him more aware of what he has to do. ... He knows we can?t do the same thing this year.
We didn't have a letdown. It was just one of those games that we just weren't on.
I live in Phoenix, so I get to see him play a lot. I love guys with great energy, and Shawn just works himself into good games every night.
This Miami team has a long way to go if they want to get back to the Eastern Conference finals.
He's much more agile and has more bounce in his step than I've seen in awhile. So I think that bodes well for them going into the playoffs.
I've got to stand further and further back. It's too intense,
These are emotional games when it comes to City.
