You talk about a point guard that can do everything -- that's Chauncey. He can make the 3, he can pass, he can defend, he makes free throws and he scores. |
You want to go in, play solidly for 48 (minutes) and play how you're supposed to play. |
You want to try to win every game you step out, but I think it would be nice to try to accomplish something like that at home. It's one of these situations, when we go in, all 12 guys got to play well because all 12 guys are going to have opportunities. |
You're happy. It's one of the moments where you end up really happy or really sad. |
You're in a situation where the other team doesn't have anything to lose. Their backs are against the wall, and they're going to come out and play with a great amount of energy. They're going to play with confidence from the way they've played their last couple games. You know going in about that situation, so you know you have to go in and have a superior performance. You can't just come out and have an average performance. |
You've got a team that had three days off playing against a team that played four games in five days, in four different cities, and a back-to-back situation. They played with a great amount of energy and they carried that energy to a win. |
You've gotta realize, Chauncey went 6-for-6 and brought us back making threes in the fourth. It's a fine line. |
Zone might be a four-letter word around here, ... but they've been pretty receptive to it. I think it's one of those things that, if we play it and we're successful with it, they'll wrap their arms around it a little bit more. |
