I definitely didn't want to let the team down. I was a little rusty early on, but after that I felt good. |
I didn't see the game, but I saw the highlights. It's still kind of incomprehensible to me. Eighty-one, whew! |
I don't know if it's because he's slim or what, I thought he'd come in a giddy guy. But he's serious. He wants to play, and wants to play well in this league. It's evident in the way he approaches things ... and man can he pass the ball. Sometimes you've got to remind yourself that he's on the court, because the ball could be coming your way at any time. |
I expect a hard-fought series from Denver. We got home-court advantage, and that should help. The Nuggets are a tough club, and so is Dallas. I felt that we matched up well with either. |
I just wanted to get out of Dodge, clear my mind, not think about the disappointment anymore, lie on the beach. I'd rather be in the playoffs any time. |
I thought he might be a little standoffish and not want to be here, ... He's a great guy, he's funny and he's got your back, 100 percent. |

I wanted to set a tone, I really wanted this game. They kept finding me in positions I could score and once they started doubling me really hard on the catch, there were other guys open. I didn't mind sharing the rock. |
I'm not going to try to lose. But if we finish behind Memphis with the sixth seed, we're better off. |
If they want to double-team, that's OK because we've got guys who can score all over the place. Wilcox gave us a great spark off the bench, and that's what we look for him to do every night. We have a lot of confidence in him because of what he does in practice. And when he plays like this, it really helps us out a lot. |
If we had led all the way and let them steal it at the end, it would have seemed like some of last year's woes, ... You don't want to make a big deal out of three games, but it is a great start. |
If we want to contend with the upper-echelon teams, then we have to play well (Wednesday) and expect to win. They're going to be revved up at home, so we got to bring it. |
In a close game, I think we're going to try to win. I think we need practice at that. There's no better time than now. |
In the past, we might have folded, but we erased that 12-point lead and we're up three at halftime. It's a great, great feeling. It's much different than before. |
It feels good, but we still have a lot more to accomplish. But it's a milestone we want to check off. I'm just glad the organization put the pieces around guys to enable us to win and compete at the highest level. |
