It was big, yeah, but we felt all along that we were going to win this game -- all night long. We've been trying to get over the hump on the road. We've had some tough losses, games we thought we should have won. Tonight we weren't going to let someone beat us. |
It's a great place to play -- and a great place to stay also. I fit in here. The offense fits me. |
It's been disappointing being over there on the sidelines, but being 3-0 makes it feel a whole lot better, |
It's been real hard knowing that I'm in a situation where the doctor, the trainer are holding me back and telling me that I can't go out there. So it's hard seeing my brothers go out there falling short, and I think I can get us over the hump. |
It's crazy in the East because are all one game away from being in the four spot or two games away from being in the fifth spot. It's impertinent that we win these games at home and show up on the road with a lot of energy. |
It's great coming out here and getting the first game of the road trip just to keep the doubters quiet for a second. We're looking forward to the challenge of playing the Clippers. This is exciting. |
Mr. Grunfeld and Jordan have accepted us with open arms, ... I've had phone calls, and I've felt like was a lottery pick all over again so I feel great. We're very happy, and I appreciate this. |
My knee is fine. I'm just struggling to make shots. I've just got to keep working hard and stay positive. Good things will happen. |
Now we go to Cleveland. |
Our coaches had us prepared. But when the game started, we did everything they told us not to do. |
Our main thing was to go .500 or better (on the road trip). Now that we've got three wins, why stop now? Let's make up for some of the losses earlier in the season. |
Right now we're winning games. That's all that matters. |
Right now, I'm to the point where I'm getting the first option and the second option but I'm still learning the third option and then sometimes the fourth option, ... Say I'm at the top of the key and I flash through the lane to the wing. Then it's, okay, now I cut over here. Then, I have to cut over here. I'm learning all of the reads. It's one of those things where it will become more familiar the more I'm out there. |
That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season. |
The fan support may have been a little bit better in Storrs. But we still took the mentality in Hartford that this is our court. |
