I'm glad there was little investigation, because definitely this was not a situation for a technical. I just think sometimes things get too sensitive for referees. |
I'm trying to avoid it. We're going to leave it in the organization ? coaches, owners. We're the players. Our job, go on the floor and play the game. |
In the fourth quarter, we relaxed a little and Washington jumped on our backs. They started pressuring us and we couldn't get the ball inbounds. I'm happy we finished the game out. |
It was great. We had a great conversation, not only in English, in Russian. It was interesting because we talked about a lot of things. Not basketball at all. The grandmother said she hadn't practiced (Russian) for 20 years. She speaks perfectly. |
It's good to win one because if we lost we would have been even further back. |
It's great to win and I think we did a pretty good job, especially in the second half. We were being so focused and we didn't let them score at all. |
It's important to score in those types of positions. I was trying to get open. When I got (the ball) I was trying to finish quick and get the two points. |
It's not our job to discuss coaching positions, owners, what he thinks about coach (Sloan). Our job is to go on the floor and play the game, and if it's possible, bring a win. |
It's so hard to play with a belt when you go a lot of minutes because your ribs start going in and it's hard to breathe sometimes. |
Matt was the only one who was executing our offense. He was hot and we were just trying to get the ball in his hands. |
Maybe it's that we don't need extra motivation against them. They're the best in the league, they won the championship two years ago and (are) playing like champions now. That just motivates us more. |
Memo did a great job in the overtime. |
My game is a more all-around game. I want to do something good, especially in crunch time. |
No doubt, Tracy's one of the best players in the league. We liked it when he was out. |
Nobody knows what's going to happen. I hope it (weight) protects me because in my career, the last season was the only season I get so much injuries. Before I don't have anything. Only an ankle sprain for a couple of games. It was tough to realize you can't play for so much time. Right now, I feel ready for the season. |
