Everybody knows Shaq and everybody knows that Shaq always says that when the playoffs come, he'll be there. So we weren't really worried. We knew after he missed 18 games that it was going to take him awhile to get back. But I think right now is the right time for this team, that around the break time, he has a chance to get back in shape and get his form back.
We moved the ball well tonight. I think we probably didn't swing it, maybe eight times or so. It just looks like you're not moving the ball when you are missing shots,
Some games it's just guys have open shots and they take them, and when they miss it looks worse.
I think us sitting out together, watching the Phoenix game, we really both couldn't wait to get back in and help our team. I think it showed that we missed being out there and we wanted to do whatever we could to help the team get a win.
He wasn't missing and he was looking good. He had that confident look. His eyes were real big and when that happens, you know he's confident.
We're going to miss Eddie a lot, the defense he brought and the way he chased guys around the court. I want to see who's going to do that.
I mean, you can't really celebrate after you hit the free throw. But if you miss the free throw, yeah, it takes the whole and-one thing out the window. Then it's just a basket.
I missed some shots that I normally make, and they really pressured me. It was tough, but when we play them again in April, we'll have some counters for what they were doing tonight.
I missed some shots that I normally make, and they really pressured me.
That's something I'm going to play over and over again in my head and say I should have gone with the left. I got to the basket. I really wanted to go for the three; I wanted to go for the win. But once I came off (the screen) I had attacked the basket. And I got a good shot. It just wasn't meant to be because I don't miss that too often.
The key is being healthy and not worrying about the individual stuff. I had some good shots but I just missed them. The playoffs will be a whole different story. We'll be ready.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
The playoffs are a different mindset and a different season. Our main goal is to go in healthy and we'll be alright.
