This has been a phenomenal year for him. He's answered the call to just about every task. |
This is a game when Brendan would have helped. The big guy (Yao) earned his check and he put his team on his back and carried them. |
Those are teams that are looking like playoff-caliber teams, so for us, it's going to be a good test. We'll have the opportunity to distance ourselves or put ourselves in a hole. They're going to have the same mind frame facing us. |
To blow a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, that's an embarrassment. There's no other way to put it. |
Tonight was one of those nights when we were short-handed. |
We all know this team (the Warriors) likes to get on the break and play freely. We wanted to make it defensively hard for those guys and move the ball a little bit, and offensively, beat them in their own game. |
We all know this team likes to get on the break and play freely. And we wanted to defensively make it tough for those guys and make them run a set offense and move the ball a little bit. We did a great job as far as staying poised and continuing to play ball. |
We are almost where we were at this point last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team as far as sticking with it. We believe that this is a pretty good team. The way that we are playing defensively and offensively, you can see that we have something special here. I think it's just a matter of time before we get even better. |
We aren't going to sneak up on anybody this year. Last year, maybe there was a sense that yeah, they are the same old Wizards. Now that we had some success, got to the playoffs, people are going to be up for us. We have to be ready for that challenge every single night. |
We didn't play well that game and I didn't play well that game so I really want to find a way to avenge that loss. We need to have a good game in front of our home crowd and get another win. |
We feel bad for Andray but the positive thing is that he is healthy and that his career isn't over before it took off. It's sad that something like this happened to him during his rookie season, but he will be all right. We will continue to pray for him, hope for a speedy recovery and hold down the fort until he gets back. |

We feel like we're going to win. That's what things were like last year with this team. If it was a close game, there was no doubt in our minds that we'd find a way to pull it out. |
We get paid to play ball, but it's good to do a charity game to put a smile on a kid's face and do it all for a good cause. |
We got them to a point where they were scrambling. A.D. made a perfect pass. The thing that messed me up was when I saw [Ryan] fall to the floor because I was so open. It felt good. It just didn't go in. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. The coaching staff did a great job as far as putting us in position to win the game. I had the opportunity to do it. I just didn't come through. |
