We have our hand on the neck of the golden goose and we're squeezing hard.
Whether you want to put faith in them or not, they do what they do and they do what they want to do, ... It's not my team. Glen Taylor, he and Kevin McHale try to put together a plan and I guess for whatever reason try to enforce it. But I don't think I'm the person to ask.
I'm so locked in that I was thinking we had more time. I should have fouled earlier. I'm thinking we had had him (Blake) trapped in the corner, but not thinking that he's sitting there waiting to be fouled with the clock running. It was stupid on my part.
Usually we get a better boost from our bench. It's been a rough 48 hours, personally. For the most part today, we withstood every blow, and then the fourth quarter came and they were a lot more aggressive.
From here on out until April, all these games are important. But this was a division game, so it was even bigger.
I don't sign anybody's checks, but you have to be committed and ready to play.
I don't know, man. This whole thing is an adjustment. I'm just trying to figure it out as we go.
I am happy that I can help make a difference in the communities, and blessed to be in the position where I am able to lend support.
I have faith in Glen that he'll do the right thing.
Ricky's not new to the league. I've seen him play. He's seen me play. We lose a lot of games being robotic. We haven't had any practice time. But it's basketball at the end of the day. It's beautiful.
Last year was last year, ... We have a lot to prove. ... If you sense a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, it is. Because last year wasn't really pleasant. The finger-pointing. I felt like people didn't really look at themselves in the mirror. It's a new year. A new day. Happy to be back in the gym and get after it.
We're just finishing games off of pure talent, not knowledge. We're just making it difficult for ourselves. Miami's a good team. They're going to make a run, and they did. We held it off the best we could and won the game.
We're not consistent for 48 minutes in what we're doing, and it's our fault. We can't blame Case. We can't blame anybody but ourselves, starting with me.
makes us, at times, unstoppable because the break is going so fast.
