Tonight's win was great. It was a win we definitely needed. For the most part we all played together. We played aggressively. The defense was probably what won the game for us.
We knew that if we came in here and played around or didn't play with the right mind set, we were going to get blown out. We came in and took some of their 3-pointers away.
We weren't able to do anything on the offensive end that we were doing in the first half. We were not spacing and moving correctly and we weren't able to figure out what they are doing. They played well when they had to.
It's a great start, everything I anticipated. He was Ricky Davis tonight. He played great D. You know you're getting a high-energy player.
They played well when they had to. Paul Pierce is the best in the business when it comes to hitting fourth-quarter shots.
Our inspiration was coming out and knowing how we played against them in (California). We didn't play our best game, and we were more enthused than anything to get a little payback, if you want to call it that. The fourth quarter was a lot more energetic.
He's the coach. I do what the coach tells me. I can't even remember the last time I played 24 minutes. My knees are thanking Case at this point.
This is a huge win. We needed it more than they did and went out and played that way.
I should have had a little more control than that.
I've never had (a) beef with World. Personally, we were teammates. We understood that. I understood that. As the primary (option) on this team, I felt it was my responsibility to have the ball come through me, and I consolidated and distributed to everybody. I don't know if World was bothered by that.
The zone tonight was a big problem. The zone slowed us down and made us stagnant and not as aggressive.
Even though we've been losing and going through hard times, we've kept our morale up.
The third quarter has been our Achilles heel pretty much the whole year.
I've never been opposed to a reunion. I've always let him know that I'm going to be in Minnesota, and he's always let me know he's going to be in New York. So I guess we've got a problem. Different parts of the world, dealing with the map is probably the issue at this point.
