He can stretch a defense. He's a big threat. They missed him in Game 2.
It kinda caught us off-guard. As the game went along, we started to understand what was open. There was a period where we were just settling, but in the long haul, we made the right adjustments at the right time.
It's great that we won 14 in a row, but I think the big thing now is for us to keep that swagger, that hunger to get better and not get complacent. The big thing for us right now is we've got some good teams that we're about to play. So nothing against Charlotte or Atlanta, but now we got Cleveland coming in, and then we go to Milwaukee and Chicago, so we can't play the way that we have these last two games if we're going to have any chance to win.
Everybody talked about his past or being soft or a guy who doesn't like to compete when it gets tough. He's shown us everything but that.
The big thing was playing defense. That's the blueprint of this team, if we're going to have any success is getting stops. We did that at the right time.
Our defense the one thing that stands out the most. Our offense will come and go, but we are stopping people at the other end.
We didn't show up. We didn't play any defense.
It shows the growth and how fast we turned things around. It shows we are going back in the right direction.
I rather it happen now than Game 7 in the Finals or an important game. I am not trying to downgrade this game as not important but those type of things happen. We have counted on Vince in the two years that he has been here and he has room for error.
My job is not to scream and yell, my job is to cheer you and be positive. If you miss four shots, I'm still going to pass to you.
Every team that I've gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that's what I've been put on this earth to do, to fix it.
The business always gets in the way of basketball.
The 76ers currently play very good basketball, and we don't. However, we are still only one win behind them. If we continue to improve, we should be on the top of our division at the end of the regular season.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
