both foul hard trouble
It's hard when both of us are in foul trouble. If one of us is in foul trouble, the other can play but, when both of us are out, it's hard.
academic bishop choose few hard high key kids magnet maintain next school unless
It's hard to maintain in high school unless you have your own feeder system. We have a lot of kids going to Academic Magnet or who choose to go to Bishop England. The next few years, we could do well, but the key is to keep getting the kids in.
dealing guys last says situation
It's a situation we've been dealing with the last two years, not having our whole team. Guys have been in and out of the rotation. This says a lot about this team.
hurricane thankful
It was frustrating because I didn't know what they were going to be able to do. I'm thankful I was able to get them out before the hurricane came.
It's been up and down, up and down. I know we can do it. . . . We've done a lot of talking, we've made a lot of excuses. It's just about doing it.
both definitely ends foul games hard played playing win
It's amazing. We're out there playing basketball, playing hard on both ends and sometimes games get real physical. It's a part of the game. We could have played a lot better. It's definitely hard for us to win when me and Jermaine are in foul trouble.
bring continue good orlando playing positive though
It's a big win, even though Orlando wasn't playing for anything. We wanted to come out and be playing positive and continue to do some good things and try to bring those good things to the playoffs.
ball best both eight five four game gives job shared speeds
We shared the ball and it's not just one person getting into a rhythm, it's four or five guys. The game speeds up a little bit. But at the same time, we're like eight times better with (O'Neal) because it gives us the best of both worlds. It's a little faster, but he makes our job a lot easier.
ball danny defense drive jump line proper rather shoot situation straight wish
We didn't think Danny was going to give it up that easy. It was just a straight line drive and we'd rather him take a jump shot. A situation like that, when he has the ball at the end of the game, you know he's going to shoot it. We just didn't play the proper defense on him. I wish I was guarding him. I probably would have made it a little tougher.
happy
We're just happy to be in the playoffs. We'll play anybody.
age age-and-aging attacking chains code dress guys jewelry known today upset wearing wore
A lot of the guys who are wearing chains are my age and are black, ... I wore all my jewelry today to let it be known that I'm upset with it. It's one thing to have a dress code and it's another thing if you're attacking cultures.
fourth played quarter
They played that fourth quarter like they had something at stake, like they wanted to go to the playoffs. And we played like we didn't want to go to the playoffs.
came certain cross dealing lines man trials
There's certain lines you (don't) cross when you're dealing with a man who came up like he did and who's been through the trials and tribulations like he did in his life.
far help leaders pick replace
As far as being a leader, I think we all have to pick it up, ... One person can't replace Reggie, we just all have to be leaders on the court. We have to help each other as much as we can.
