I said something to Joe after the game in Chicago. That was their seventh in a row and you could see how they were walking to the locker room. We were walking off and I said, 'You know what? I remember that feeling.' Walking to the locker room like you don't know what's the problem. You're playing hard, but you just don't know. And you try to figure it out. So it's a big difference for us from last year to this year.
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.
I watched my parents battle, work night shift, work two jobs. That's toughness. That's toughness... That's something; it all carries over from your parents, and I was fortunate to have both parents in my life.
I think they outworked us the entire game. They wanted it, they had the motivation and it showed.
People are just trying to think about survival. Everything is boarded up or just flattened.
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.
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.
Not really. I just want to try and get better. Every year. That's my goal.
It's very frustrating. I'm just pushing it through, giving what I can to the team.
The feeling is exciting. You wake up and you want to come to practice. You're ready to play a game. There's no turmoil. There's no bad blood between people . . . the coaches or whatever. It's just a good atmosphere and that goes on the court with how you play and how the team plays together.
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.
It's hard getting into a rhythm but that's no excuse. I'm just trying to do what I can.
We just grinded it out, made a few plays here and there and came out with the win.
It's all about leading by example. Am I going to be perfect? Absolutely not.
