I hope so. I don't really know what happened with the sit-down, but I hope it can be resolved because both of them are great guys. They're both competitors, and I just think somewhere along the line there was a loss of communication, and it just didn't turn out the right way.
I think myself and this team are definitely in store for a great season. We're ready to step up and claim that role of being one of the best teams in the East. That's pretty close to a guarantee. I don't make guarantees, but if I wanted to bet, I'd bet we'd make the playoffs this year.
He's the leader of this team, and when he wasn't out there it was evident that we needed him.
We kind of came unglued a little bit,
Winning is going to cure a lot of the things that we're going through as a team, so it makes some of the little stuff seem small, like it should be. If we continue to play the way we're playing, it's going to be a real good new year for us.
We've got to be able to play well the whole game. We can't go up 25 on a team and let them get back in. We've got to try to be consistent the whole game. I mean the win was great, but we could have very easily let it go the other way at the end of the game.
With coach Brown things are liable to change at any moment. You never really know, ... If you're not playing hard or he feels you're not doing the right thing, he's going to get you out. It's ultimately up to him to decide who he wants in the game.
Yeah, I definitely sensed that. And that's why I was so adamant about getting back and trying to help the team as much as possible. I realize I don't have to score to help them, my presence alone, just me being so big and taking up space helps them out a lot.
Y'all pulled out the old stuff, ... This is the vintage stuff. Throwback. This is crazy, man, crazy.
We definitely are playing better, but still have lapses. We still have a ways to go. As long as we go out with a high effort you never know.
Those are some of the things we weren't doing when we were losing.
It is hard to try and find a rhythm when you're only out there for short spurts, but it's fine,
I think I have enough to be successful out there.
I think it's going to continue spreading throughout the league because what players are finding is once they try them they really work. It's not just a fashion thing.
