He's excited, man, ... I'm excited. I can't wait to get started tomorrow. |
He's never really stopped coaching us; he's never thrown in the towel. If he does [feel the stress], he does a good job of hiding it and being a professional. |
He's so smart. And he makes plays for everybody, including himself. He thinks the game. He knows the game. It will be a lot easier with him on the court. |
His wife and kids were up there. If you see your family in harm's way, you're going to go protect them. You're the man of the house, and at that point you're thinking like a regular human instead of an athlete. |
I can't really say I've seen him show signs of stress because he's never really stopped coaching us. |
I felt overwhelmed by ticket demands and people wanting something from me. I said, I've got to get me a home team. |
I got a little sense of that. |
I guess I throw it in the air a bit. |
I honestly put the team at a disadvantage when I'm not aggressive and that's nobody's fault but my own. |
I honestly thought we were going to play another overtime. Then when I watched Gordon's shot, it was like slow motion. I have seen him do that a couple of times before, so we got them last time and they got us this time. We will just have to try and get them next time. |
I just think guys are playing well. They're starting to execute. Different guys are stepping up each night. Tonight it was Jalen (Rose) and Eddy (Curry). Another time it could be Q (Quentin Richardson) and myself or any combination. We're a deep team. There are going to be a lot of games like tonight where we have seven in double figures. |
I just try to make the right play. Every night isn't going to be your night to score. I can do that, but I'd rather do whatever this team needs to win. |
I kind of got Chauncey with the cross over early. So I wanted to keep going straight without hesitating. My teammates did a great job of setting me up and coach drew up a great play. They did a great job of getting me open and I had the easy part of knocking down the shot. |
I kind of got Chauncey with the crossover early, so I wanted to keep going straight without hesitating, No, no. There was a little contact, but his momentum kind of carried him a little bit. |
I like them. I want to keep wearing them. |
