Man, we're supposed to get wins like that, ... That's a tough loss.
Those two guys really stepped up tonight. Harrison is really tough to keep out of the low post. He's a strong guy. Granger really hit some big shots at key times, and he really seemed confident in his shots.
They got a lot of weapons in the offense and they hit a lot of shots -- tough shots in the second half.
At first I couldn't grasp why he was always so hard on me. But I realize now he just wants me to be a great player. He knows that in my background no one ever really got on me. But he's not afraid to give me some tough love to make me better.
Coming off a back-to-back tough game against Chicago, fatigue set in at the end of the game and that leads to turnovers.
We're trying to send a message to teams that when they come into our house they are going to have a tough game ahead of them.
Are you gonna be tough, or are you going to be tough?
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.
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 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.
This win was real big. Coach ( Brian Hill ) said that we have three teams coming up with Miami (April 9), Dallas and San Antonio (April 13) and we wanted to get all three teams.
We held Sacramento to nine points in the third quarter.
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.
Playing a top team like the Heat, with all their veterans, really lets us know where we stand. You could see we need a couple more days to regroup.
