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.
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.
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.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
I'm just trying to find ways to be more effective right now. I am trying to get a spring back in my step. I am trying to attack the offensive boards and do whatever it takes to get going.
It was great to have him back on the floor. It has been tough for him to not be out there. He is going to get back into it.
On behalf of the Spurs organization and my teammates, I'd like to thank you for your continued support year in and year out. We've had some good times and we'd like to bring another championship back to San Antonio.
Not only does he have an impact directly, but I think it's filtered through the team.
I made a shot or two early, and my confidence kind of blossomed from there. I just kind of held it throughout the game.
I haven't been around him in so long, not for anything other than our paths just haven't crossed. It was great to have some time ... and talk about old times.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball well. We got a lot of guys a lot of minutes.
It was a good night all around. We moved the ball very well and were able to get a lot of guys a lot of minutes. It was a good victory, and now we prepare for the next one.
It was a great defensive effort overall. We had a solid night defensively and that helped keep their score down. We are starting to get things worked out.
I've just tried to do my part as best I can, and down at the end there, I was lucky enough to get that stop, rebound and seal it.
