When he gets into a rhythm like that where he starts going, it's like you want to sit there and watch him play. You get caught up in what he does and that's probably the worst thing that we can do is just sit there and watch him play, but you get mesmerized by what he's doing.
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.
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.
I thought we really kept our composure, kept fighting. We just kind of found a way to get it done.
I thought we played well enough to win. When you penetrate and pump fake on shots like we did it moves the defense with you. Parker was great tonight like he has been all year.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
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.
Paper doesn't mean anything to us. It's about going out there and playing together. It's about chemistry and people accepting roles. More talent doesn't always mean you're a better team.
They have a solid team. Elton is having a heck of a year. He hurt us last time, so we decided to come after him. We made it difficult for him tonight.
They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
Absolutely, yes, definitely, ... He pulled me out of an incredible hole that I put myself in.
Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. Our game plan was there, but it?s just about putting some balls in the hole.
I think we're all feeling pretty healthy. I'm feeling pretty good. So, with that in mind, it's all coming together and I'm excited about hitting the playoffs.
I was looking before the game and I'm like 91/2 years older than him. That is just crazy. (Howard) is just so talented, so developed. He doesn't look like a 19-year-old. He has so much promise and I'm just glad that I will be out of the league when he is peaking.
