Everybody, including the coaches, keep looking forward to the playoffs, the playoffs. But we need to focus on one game at a time instead of looking down the road.
I think there needs to be some style improvement but at the same time it has to be with in reasons.
We have no choice. We're in a position where we have to stop looking down the road and start to focus on one game at a time and getting better.
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.
If you have the opportunity to do something you love, pursue it. . . I've never been against education, but at the same time you can't knock opportunity.
I don't want to go through this any more. I think I'm more deserving of a better team and I think the city's more deserving of a better team, coming in here having something that's going to be competitive and having us getting back to the Western Conference finals. But I do know you just can't blink and it's going to happen; you have to actually spend the time and effort. So, we'll see.
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.
You guys, you go to work, and when a new colleague comes in you have to form chemistry and try to work with that. Sometimes that transition is a rough one.
When you lose, the easy part is to see who gives up. Giving up is very simple. You basically take your stuff and walk away. To continue to work and to continue to compete is one of the most difficult things, especially when you really don't have anything to play for other than dignity and self-perseverance. That's when you see who's really with you.
Even though we've been losing and going through hard times, we've kept our morale up.
Everybody from A to Z has to be ready to play, and sometimes that's not the case. It's a little more difficult on the road, dealing with the crowd and different elements, but that's no excuse.
Tonight, you had a more energetic team. A team that was feistier.
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've got a lot of new faces, a lot of variables, ... Can we win? Can we not win? What kind of team it's going to be. Our identity. How different things take shape. We'll find out pretty soon.
