We know what we have left, and we just have to kind of get it done. We still have a chance to end up with one of our best seasons yet, so we just have to turn that corner and get back on a roll before the playoffs come around.
We were turning the ball over and we were giving up offensive boards. We needed to stop giving the ball up and blocking out better.
We have to throw a lot of bodies out there on the back-to-backs. We have to have a lot of people perform. It was absolutely a big win, but this start looked like it was going the wrong way.
We don't sell anything to anybody. You either want to play with us or play against us.
We dont see that the lease was breached,
The problem they have is convincing advertisers it's a viable medium. I think that's a big hurdle.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
We have a lot of guys who are a little beat up and a little stressed out at this part of the season. It's great to have this break, let everybody get away and then come back refreshed.
We are not worried about the hype. (The Mavericks) are a good team and we know that. We are going to be playing them on our home court and we know that. We are going to play hard and whatever happens, happens.
We did what we always do. We stuck with it. We understand the amount of time and possessions left and we play each possession. It's all about getting stops. If we can get stops, we can make things happen.
What it's about for us is playing 48 minutes. Whether they got tired or not, I don't know. But we wanted to keep the pressure on them and keep pushing it back at them.
It was a huge key. He really hurt us last time. We decided to come after him and make them change their game a little bit.
He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that.
I didn't know if there was going to be enough time. I turned to shoot and then saw him at last second and tried to fire it to him real quick. I probably should have shot the ball.
