Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well.
I thought he had an excellent mentality in the second half. He came off screens, really got in the middle and really made them pay for playing halfway on me.
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.
Everybody came on. I'm not surprised, but pleased with the focus. Even with the score, they didn't want a letdown. They came in and played hard. Everybody understands. From one (minute) to 48, they did it the right way. All-in-all it was a very solid game.
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 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.
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'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.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
It was just a long night. Things happen, the season happens. Those guys played well tonight; give them credit, ... We compounded them playing well with myself playing very, very badly.
I would have loved to play against Bill Russell. He was such a force.
I'm going to try to fit in where I can and play the way I can.
