Did we run out of gas? I don't know. They hit some big shots. |
Elton hasn't just been good lately, he's been good the whole season. He's the reason I came here. He makes the job easy. |
Even early in the season this was a huge gut check, |
Getting the first game is super huge. That's what the home-court advantage is for. |
Glen is the guy we look to for guidance. He's the guy we look to help us out in certain situations. Glen always says he's going to be there when it counts. |
I feel for him. I wish I could help him, but he'll be all right. It's just hard to play against him because we both know everything about the other's game. |
I guess I won't be doing any photo shoots for a while. There's a lot of love between us, but sometimes funny things happen in a battle. |
I had 12 a whole bunch of times, 11 a whole bunch of times. Steve used to steal them from me. |
I just try to do the things that will help the team. We were able to control the tempo. It's good when you win by 15 or 20 points, we need more of that. |
I learned the system and got better with it through the year. But I was only there, what, like four months? Those guys had been together for three years. |
I never expect to lose. I know you have to lose sometimes. But you let two go that you should win, you can't do that. |
I told the guys in training camp, `We're a good team, ... We've got a nice bench and we've got a nice starting combo when we're all on the court -- Sam, myself, Corey, Elton, Chris [Kaman] -- that's a nice squad right there. If we just keep playing together like we've been doing, we'll be fine. |
I was trying to work my way in, not trying to do too much crazy stuff, |
I wasn't going to come to some place where we were going to lose, ... I knew we were going to be good. We got guys who can win, who have won. But talk to me at the All-Star break. |
I'm excited. I'm ready to roll. |
