What Larry brings to our team is awesome. He's going to keep getting better.
We had to bring our 'A' game and that's what we did.
Coming off a back-to-back, with a big win last night against Indiana, it would have been easy for us to not bring intensity. Early on, our team didn't have intensity. I saw that and I had to pretty much take over matters. I've been able to take my team on my back.
Coming off a back-to-back after a big win against Indiana, it was easy for us not to bring the intensity tonight. You can't win a big game like that and then lose a game like this.
It was one of those nights where you come out and you just don't bring it. This is what happens. These guys (with the Magic) are in the NBA just like we are, and this is what happens when you don't bring it.
The way he's coached us the first week of training camp and now in the preseason has been great. He has a lot of pressure because he's a rookie head coach, but we don't look at him like that. He's been on championship teams his whole life and he's going to bring that same intensity to us.
There are a couple guys who can't grow too much hair on their face. We're together. We've become a family. That's the most important part of a team.
We will get it together. We know we're a good team.
I don't remember getting elbowed in the chest or pushed. It was something I never felt before.
Those things can damage your eyes something bad. I was standing at the foul line in the fourth quarter when the ref noticed a red dot near my forehead. That's pretty serious.
This was big for us. The guys stepped up. We couldn't go 0-3 against them. They might be a team we face in the playoffs. So we can't let them think they can come in here and beat us.
This was a very important game. We didn't want to get a big win like we did Sunday (against Phoenix) and lose here.
We gave everybody what they wanted to see. He gave it his all and I gave it my all. One of us had to lose. I'm glad I wasn't the one who lost.
We got stops and made shots when it counted. When you hold a team to 38 percent from the field you give yourself a pretty good chance of winning.
