The good part about this is you get to see what type of character you have as a team. |
The most I got out of it was that guys need to take a challenge to make this team better. He talked about during this bad time that we're going through right now that it was important for everybody to stick together. |
The sky's the limit for him, ... He's a tough guard. He's got the best coach in the world on his side. |
The whole paper is like a book, Tales From the Dark Side or something. |
The whole team learned a lot tonight, ... I was glad to we had that situation where it was a close game and we had to get it done. We had to get a stop. We showed a lot of character there. |
There are a lot of things we're doing wrong or we wouldn't be under .500. It's not like we're doing one or two things wrong. |
There may be one million people who love me, there may be 10 million people who hate me. What do I do? I go to battle for those 1 million people. |
There's a lot of things we're doing wrong, or we wouldn't be under .500. They're a well-coached team and it showed. They execute their plays, get the best shot possible down the court. |
There's no way to explain it. We just got beat up. We're not stop-ping nobody, man. ... And if we can't stop nobody on the defensive end then it's hard to get into any type of running game, easy baskets. Every time they're scoring on us, and we're coming down and playing against a half-court set. |
There's only one thing I still haven't done and that's win (the championship). That's the only thing I want now. |
These guys don't have all the physical ability but they are able to win basketball games because they play the right way. |
These guys don't play it at a level like a Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady or myself, |
They are hungry and they needed to win desperately, so obviously they are going to bring energy and effort. |
They are similar, absolutely. We have leads and we give a lead up. It's been happening like this, the same way. |
They do a lot of cutting, back screens and stuff like that. We weren't ready to handle the back screens and all the cuts. ... They are a well-coached team, and it shows. |
