It made it an extra challenge because guys coming back needed the reps. The schedule is what it is. We're about to go through another stretch after this two-day break. |
It opens up the game a little bit for us offensively. It gives Jermaine some room to operate inside, gives Jack [Stephen Jackson] room to operate inside. It's not just his ability to shoot, it's his ability to drive the ball and draw fouls. |
It seemed like we were throwing it to the guys in orange the entire first half. We were (lazy) with the ball and on defense and they were able to build a double-digit lead. Second half, we were able to buckle down, get some stops, get the lead, and hold on for a much-needed win. |
It was a big bounce back game for our team. I thought Jermaine set the tone for our team early in the game. The way it unfolded, it appeared he had a pretty good sense on how to establish himself. |
It was a deceptive final score. It was obviously a very difficult game. Our bench struggled, but the guys that started held it together. Anthony Johnson played just a tremendous all around game. He's really playing at a high level right now. He is getting the job done, simply as that. |
It was a disappointing performance, I'll leave it at that. ... We've got two games now where we've had disappointing stretches. We have to do better than that to keep any legitimate playoffs hopes alive. |
It was a good effort by our team. Very solid and our shot making was there. We feel like it was a really good win for us, especially coming off the West Coast road trip. |
It was a special experience, and I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to come [to Virginia]. They took a chance on me because I was a guy who played at a mid-major level in a very obscure conference. |
It was a terrible performance. It's as simple as that. |
It was a terrible performance. It's as simple as that. We'll have to bounce back in a big way. It's a disappointing performance. I'll leave it at that. |
It was clear that having him out there tonight would be the wrong thing to do. He just wasn't able to cut on it and move the way he needs to. |
It was clear to me he knew the situation. He knew to spread the floor and look for an opportunity to break down the defense. He made a great play. |
It was one of those games we needed everybody to play well and they did. |
It was very tight the whole game and it couldn't have been closer. A couple of breaks went our way at the end. We know we got lucky today because we know Vince Carter is not going to have another (game like Sunday), because he's a great player and he's going to make his shots. |
It'll be one of the questions when you look back in history. How good could this guy have been? I'm not sure that there was any limit to his potential. It was just not to be. |
