I don't think either team walks away thinking they have a major edge. I think they know if we play really well we can beat them, and we know if they play well that they can beat us. |
I felt like this was a game we had to have because we're trying to do the most we can do, as far as playoff seeding. |
I guess I was pretty surprised by it. The league made a decision, I guess, based on the information that we all had, but they didn't see fit to suspend Reggie. Personally, I thought he would be suspended. |
I guess it's true. But (as a player) I never felt it. I was in great shape. I never thought about it. |
I had no idea he did anything. I didn't realize it was even a possibility. |
I haven't lost any games yet. When I lose that first game, I'll be wishing for a Christmas list. |
I just looked at playing and winning games for us. We really shouldn't have been paying attention to (the playoff picture) all season long. |
I just thought we didn't take care of the basketball. The first biggest thing is turnovers. Tonight was the most turnovers we have had all year long or close to it. We were much better in the second half than in the first. Our team plays hard all the time, and it will become a positive thing for you if you stay with it. |
I knew his back was bothering him a little bit, but tonight he didn't feel like it was good enough to go. It was literally right before the game. |
I like it, because I think it makes us impossible to guard. You've got three point guards on the floor in Baron, Fish and myself. You've got J-Rich. You've got Murphy. Everybody can shoot, everybody can pass, and that's just a fun way to play. |
I love our effort at the end of the game. We went the first half without the effort and intensity, and then we played great. Our guys have to decide what they really want. They have to learn how to play smart to beat the good teams, or we will come up short. |
I love the fact that we have a 2-0 lead because that's what we're supposed to do at home. Now, it's a different frontier. You're going to get a crowd that's like no other crowd you've seen in the regular season. |
I loved him the two years I had him, and, of course, I wanted to keep him, |
I never, ever looked at him as a loser in any sense of the word. |
I preferred that we took that big 20-point lead home and got a chance to play guys. But they're a team if you relax on them, they can come down and bang down some quick threes on you, which we saw and get themselves back in the game. So, you can't relax with that team. |
