He's a very explosive scorer off the bench. With him back, our bench gets more production. It should be fun. |
He's been playing phenomenal since the All-Star break. His turnaround (jumper) is money. |
He's demanding, but he was demanding as a player, too. |
He's improved so much over his three-year career already. It's amazing. The sky is the limit. |
He's one of the best shooters in the league and we found him in transition. He ran right to the line and when he gets his feet set, he can shoot with the best of them. Those shots kind of put (Portland) away. |
He's their leader and he got so much better over this year. He can pass, shoot and score, he can rebound, so he can hurt you in a lot of ways. They can spread the floor with all of their shooters around. That's their strength. |
I almost blocked it in. That would have been a heartbreaker. |
I didn't think 18 was going to stand up. Ray has been doing it, and he won the contest before, so I knew he was going to have a good second round. I wasn't 100 percent sure but I'm glad it lasted. |
I felt I had to make a couple of more shots if we were going to win. Josh has been carrying us, and the whole team had to pick it up. I got some good looks and made some shots. |
I got two calls there and it kind of took me out of the game a little bit. But once I came back, guys were looking for me. I got open a couple of times. It just felt great. |
I have to do more on the court that I didn't have to do when Steve was here. I want to get my team involved more and more in the future. I think that's something that comes with experience. Hopefully I can be in this position for a couple more years and just get better at it. |
I honestly think Doug can help us a lot, but for that to happen he has to stay healthy, ... I'm not one to judge a player on his age. It all comes down to whether he is good or not. |
I just try and be aggressive. That's what my team needed. I missed a lot of shots in the second quarter but I tried to keep battling. |
I like our chances on the road, and we're a good road team. We have guys who can hit big shots down the stretch, and we've won big games on the road. It's another good test. |
I looked at the clock, I tried to hoist them up there as quick as I can. I don't know if it should have counted. |
