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.
Coming off a back-to-back tough game against Chicago, fatigue set in at the end of the game and that leads to turnovers.
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.
They got a lot of weapons in the offense and they hit a lot of shots -- tough shots in the second half.
Are you gonna be tough, or are you going to be tough?
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.
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.
Man, we're supposed to get wins like that, ... That's a tough loss.
I like Terence Morris, and I like how he plays.
It's sort of like I got it, but I've got to make sure I get a confirmation on it.
I just want to get out there and help my team win. I can play one, two, three, four, five or sixth man if I have to. ... We're a playoff team, but talent will only take you so far. As a team, we need to get a little more hungry.
I'm a big guy, but he's just a lot bigger than me. He's big, really big. It was a learning experience for me. Really, it was my first time guarding him, and I have to learn how to guard him better.
I'm just 19 and I've got a long time left in this league. This is just my second year and I'm still learning every night.
I'm very surprised that Iverson didn't make it. I think he was one of the best leaders the team had in the Olympics, but I think what they're trying to do for the Olympic team is get a group of guys that's willing to play team ball. I'm not saying that Iverson isn't like that, but I think they're doing a youth movement for the Olympics. I think the older legs are getting brittle, so they might need some young fresh legs out there.
