We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions.
We haven't really clicked. That's frustrating. But our defense has really picked up.
Obviously, I'm going to miss Joe a lot. He wanted to try something else. What can you say? You wish him the best.
We got a lot of great character guys and some great players that bring a lot of experience and toughness, ... Those things go a long way. If you're going to lose Joe Johnson, you can only make so much happen. We did about as well as we could do, minus the Finley deal. We're ready to make it work. I'm really excited. I'm happy with the moves we made.
It's not real hard to play with Kurt.
It's out of our control, so we've got to go out and make the most of what we have and not worry about the piece we're missing. We'll try to build our team and hopefully be a better team when he returns.
We want the best for him. We want him to be as healthy and happy as soon as possible. But it's out of our control. With a veteran group, you realize that more than doom and gloom.
We share the ball. We play the game in a way that allows everyone to be at their best. We're fairly unpredictable in a predictable sort of way.
When I was in my last year in high school, I decided I wanted to try to make it in the NBA. So I went to college and figured out I could do it. Once I figured out I could play in the NBA, I also figured I could be an All-Star. I knew I could do it.
