I was surprised to see them here. I was like, 'Man, we beat Kentucky, and the fans come out.' It was great. This is the most people I've seen at Georgia. Last year, it was like a ghost town in here. |
I'm not even sure why I still need to go. I might as well stay home, because we've got our guy. |
I'm not getting pushed around as much, and I still have the quickness I've always had. |
I've told every one of these guys to make the most of this. You never know when you're going to get back. |
If he goes 0-for-100, I still want Chris taking that shot. Great shooters make that shot. |
If these guys couldn't play, they wouldn't be here. And I think that's what people forget. Everybody buys into the hype that comes out of the Cleveland media, and nobody here in Denver has truly sat back and evaluated the situation. If they did, they'd say it's a great thing Denver did. |
It doesn't mean anything. I want to win the whole conference. That's our goal. We've got three games to do that, and that's what we're trying to do. We'll just keep going one game at a time. |
It feels really good. We wanted to beat teams like Florida and Kentucky in the SEC, but we also want to win championships. To be No. 8 in the nation is hard to believe. |
It sends the message that he's ready to work and do whatever it takes to win. Him staying up all night scouting, we can believe in him because he's got our backs. The first time I saw that, when he worked out with us, it was great, because we're all in this together. |
It's been that way ever since I've gotten to Denver. It goes with the territory now. It's almost like being a college coach again. If you can do a good job of talking players into coming to your team, it kind of helps you. |
It's one thing when you play a team with a big back and it's going to be him packing that thing 40 times. You get ready for it. But they only give you Bettis for 15 and Parker for 25. That's a big adjustment the defense has to make. |
J.J. makes a lot of open 3's and off of picks. C-Lo just discourages defenses because guys will be hanging all over him, and he's still going to make it. He's a tough cover for anybody. |
My first experience truly around professional players was the New York Giants in their Super Bowl year with Lawrence Taylor and that great front that they had. Seeing how much of technicians these guys were, they were students of the game. So that was a great place for me. |
Our line should get a lot of credit. We've been saying all week that we wanted to have the eye of the tiger and we did that. We want to have it all year. |
Our main focus has been getting better every time we get on the floor. We don't look at where we're playing or who we're playing. We just look at it as five-on-five and that we're going to work harder. |
