No disrespect to the point guards who were here in the past, but Baron's the type of point guard that makes everybody better. He gets in the lane and just finds guys. I been waiting for a guy like him to come and he took my game to another level.
Our guard play is a big key. It's huge, especially when you're on the road.
He is the top guard in the league, and he won the game. He knew they needed buckets, and he took the game over.
Guys really pulled together. Fish came in and stepped up huge. He pretty much played point guard the whole game.
I mean, he's been in the league nine years and he's never had it before where a point guard can pass the ball like that.
The guard positions, those guys got off. We didn't step up. Of course we scored, but that's not what it's about. It's about stopping the other guy.
We said (earlier in the week) we're playing our last five games, and we want to win. If we play the next three like we played the last two, we're going to win.
We're not in a hole yet, but we're digging ourselves into one. Every game we don't win, we get deeper in that hole.
T-Mac is so hard to stop. You just try to find ways to slow him down, but once he gets going, it's pretty hard.
We were thin. Guys have bad games, it was kind of hard to have somebody to come in and lift the team up.
Even though we're not in the playoffs, we still have motivation to go out and play hard. Let people know we're serious, that we're not cashing it in. We still want to win games.
We were due to win a game in Cleveland. Guys really pulled together.
We were down by two but I thought we were down by three. I didn't know, I was just trying to get a shot up. When it went in I just thought we were going to overtime, then realized that we had won. It was a shocker. I was excited about it.
We want to win a lot of games. There are some tough teams coming in here and we're going to some tough places, but we can still win a lot of games.
