It was kind of crazy in the first half with all the runs by each team, but we are the type of team that can do what's necessary to come out a establish control. There is a lot of difference between this team and (Portland). We have veterans and guys who compete. It's nice to be here. |
It's hard when you try to gout out there and play well every night and your season's just went down a hill from the beginning. |
It's hustle and energy. That's what we do. |
Oh, yeah. They love me. I know when I get there, they're going to give me a good round of applause. . . . No matter what happened to me in the past, they greet me. . . . People love me because I play hard. |
Once again, they've been talking a lot of trash in the papers. George told us we've got to go out there and do what we've got to do. We're not worried about what they say. |
That might have a little bit to do with it. |
That's the past. People are trying to bring something up from five years, six years ago. I was young. I made a mistake. It's over. |
That's what we get the big money for. We'll get away from here and win some games. We'll be fine. |
That's why he got all those millions -- he just has to be consistent. That's what big-time players do. |
There were a lot of whistles and every foul they were calling. It was tough to get going because they would call stuff. |
They executed their offense real well. We were in the game into the fourth quarter, but they hit some big shots at the end of the game. |
Those are great memories. I learned a lot. Everybody comes out to see you. It's do or die. You've got to win to continue. |
Very frustrating. If it wasn't for Carmelo, we probably would have got beaten by 40. |
We are a little fatigued. It's been a difficult road trip. |
We can't get in a groove like that. One minute, you're starting. The next minute you're coming off the bench. |
