Billy enforced it from the beginning and got it going. Now we have to maintain it. I can't say guys didn't gripe about it, but we're managing. It just means you have to spend a little more money on suits instead of jeans. |
Everything [Woodson] has instilled, the running, it's going to get you in shape. And guys respond much better when they're going through it if they have a ball in their hand. |
I don't think that playing Milwaukee ... is going to be easy. I think we knew that going in, and especially with Milwaukee because they've got guys that are capable of getting 40 points against us. We just have to be careful with them and take care of home-court. |
I got my ties out and it was like `Man, who is going to tie them for me?' ... He was a great guy to be around and someone we're going to miss. |
I heard they're trying to work it out where we can wear a coat with jeans, a stylish look that's both casual but professional in this day and age, |
I think God had a lot to do with it. A lot of prayer by a lot of different people. I just continued to be professional and not really get upset about the situation that was taking place in Atlanta and continued to keep working hard. I knew, at some point in time, I could help a team out. |
I think it had to do with me playing a lot of minutes. Just getting an opportunity, though, I have to make tough shots. Hopefully that will come around again. |
I think it's going to help us even more, knowing that we have another guy that's capable of scoring and we don't have to put so much pressure on our starters. Guys coming off the bench have to make plays and make shots. |
I thought Lindsey came in and gave us a big lift as well as Mo. Bench play was key. I think it helps in the playoffs, like I said, when you have guys come in that you can depend on. |
I've been back there with smaller guards. It's exciting because you have two guys that can play defense and really get the offense going. Lindsey's experienced and it helps me out when I'm on the court because he can help me with the plays. |
I've heard (Gwen's) team is really good this year and they've got a shot. I'll be pulling for her and keeping my eye on it. Tell (Gwen) to keep working hard. |
It really is (tough). It's one of the things where you come in the game and you have to try and pickup the same intensity, but it takes guys like us a little while to get going because those guys out there, they're in a rhythm. |
It's certainly the best way to prepare for the young guys, |
My agent and I felt this was the best fit for me. I definitely wanted to have the opportunity to potentially play for (a championship), hopefully get to the Finals. That's what I'm thinking about, and I think with this team, we're definitely capable of doing that. |
Over the years we've learned so much about the sickle cell disease. |
