We just grinded it out, made a few plays here and there and came out with the win.
I've learned that creating a healthy, active environment for kids helps build the foundation for a successful future.
We're a favorite now. I think teams know Milwaukee is good now. We've got to be more prepared ourselves because teams are going to be more prepared for us.
I think so. I'm pretty sure it came up in their locker room. It came up in ours. I'm pretty sure Pat let them know, you've got to send a message to these guys because we might see them in the playoffs.
You can deal with some of the jump shots he made, he's been making them all season. But he kept making daggers, a dagger here and a dagger there. At the same time, we were digging ourselves in a hole by not making shots.
I got in today and it was pretty sore, but I just played through it. It's basically what I have to do in the game.
Nobody would want to think it. But it happened.
Me and Lindsey go way back. Me and his brother grew up together and I spent a lot of time at their house. Lindsey kind of took us up under his wing.
I look up to him man, I do. Being a basketball player, coming from the same city the same town, he set the mold for us to shoot for.
We have sent a message to those guys. You are going to see them come in with an attitude in Game 4. They probably felt like they were going to sweep us and get some rest for the second round. Now they know we have confidence. They know we think we can beat them. They are going to come after us and try to put us away. But we've got a lot of confidence now. That won't be easy.
We're trying to get to the point where coming down the stretch we know what we want and know how to get to it. I think it's just our inexperience coming down the stretch. . . . Everything's tight. The pressure's on us and a lot of times we've got to make plays. They're a championship team and we're trying to get where they're at.
It's all about leading by example. Am I going to be perfect? Absolutely not.
I took 1,500 jump shots a day this summer. It's much better.
You think you're playing well, then you look at the score and you're like, 'We're down 15.' That's the sign of playing a good team. At times, we just have mental lapses. Most teams do, but good teams really don't. That's the difference.
