I don't want to get hurt. And I don't want to hurt the team either. Hopefully we both will do well. |
I just don't want anything to mess up this team right now. We have something really good going. |
I was feeling good, but it was teamwork that made it happen tonight. We helped each other all night. We executed well, we knew who was hot, we just put it all together. |
It should have been like yesterday's game. We should have knocked them out. |
It was a good team effort. Hopefully, we can continue like this and get another win against Sacramento (on Saturday), too. |
It was tough. I couldn't really find my rhythm. Maybe I was thinking about my ankle. |
It's a lesson for us. I hope we learn from it, because we've got better teams coming right now and we get the chance to get these kinds of leads, you know we have to keep them, because it's really hard to do against a good team. |
It's really important for us to see how far we can take this now. We're just trying to keep winning and see what happens. |
It's what we needed. Winning this kind of big game, building our confidence. Building a team for next year is going to be really huge. If you look at it, we beat Dallas and now Detroit. |
My teammates know if they are going to use Raja Bell and Eddie House on me, it's a mismatch and they are gonna get me the ball. |
Steve Francis was out and they were doing a good job against Dwight Howard , so I had to take over and do something to help. My teammates and coach kept giving me the ball at the end and had confidence in me and it's really nice. I'm just happy to be in that role. |
Those games are going to be playoff-caliber games. By the time that comes it's going to be really deciding - who's going to make it and who's not. |
We didn't have a realistic shot a few weeks ago. But if you look at it now, we're a few games behind. |
We hit really big shots, I did, Pat did, everybody did. We have to take the winning streak further. It's really big for us to have a team effort like we did tonight. |
We really played great during our streak, and it's a good memory. I'd like to make it up next year from the beginning. Even though we were eliminated from the playoffs, we didn't give up. We battled until the end and had a chance in the end, but I blew it. I should've made the free throw and we would've had nine in a row. |
