Our coach said before the game, we got three good teams coming up in Miami, Dallas and San Antonio. We want to go out and try to beat all three teams. We started off tonight with a good win.
I expect us to be in the playoffs next year. We've got a great group of young guys and hopefully it will stay together. I think we can build off the finish we had to this season and do some great things next year.
He's a tough guy to guard. Sometimes you can't do anything about him scoring. You just have to run back down the court.
He knows when it's crunch time, he's going to get the ball and do what he needs for his team to win. He's the MVP.
He's back and I'm glad to see him on the court with us.
We knew they were undersized down low, so we wanted to take advantage of that. Tony played really big for us and was a big key in the win.
We're gaining a lot of confidence in each other, in the new offense and with the coach. Things are looking pretty good for us right now.
We really needed a win tonight, especially on the road. My mind-set tonight was to really focus in on bearing down and getting a win. I wanted to do everything in my will to get that win tonight.
We can win games at home. But we seem to lose focus on the road.
We'll figure this out. We'll make it work in the future.
We're not trying to get into the playoffs. We're just trying to win games.
We can't let losing stop us from believing. We're a work in progress.
We just didn't give up. We were down 29, even though that's a big deficit, you know you never throw in the towel. We made sure we gave a better effort in the second half and try and come back and win the game.
We can still make a big run. We can steal games because the All-Star break is coming up. We just have to keep chipping away and fighting for that eighth spot, and I really think we can make it.
