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.
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.
Those guys are playing the best basketball. This will be a great test for us at this time of the season.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We did a pretty solid job on defense. We got in the passing lanes, got some steals.
When our guys are getting shots like that, we love 'em. ... But every once in a while, I tell them I'm still there.
We got into a flow in the third quarter. All in all it was a team effort.
We attack the game in many different ways. Some nights it's interior, but a lot of it is our pick-and-roll and finding our shooters. If they're going to play the pick-and-roll a certain way or double team in the post, our shooters are going to have wide-open shots, and we have some of the best in the league.
Unbelievable. It was great. We just stood around and kind of looked at him. He made big shots and got on a roll there.
With home-court advantage, we are in a spot that we want to be in. We are going to do what we can with it. We had a good season. We had some rough patches, but those are the times that we come together and solidify ourselves as a team. Health is the most important thing for us. I am feeling good right now and with that in mind we are really coming together as we head into the playoffs.
