I expect us to be in the playoffs next year. We've got a great group of young guys and hopefully it will stay together. I think we can build off the finish we had to this season and do some great things next year. |
I had it marked on my calendar, but I think I was a little anxious tonight. I didn't play as well as I had hoped tonight. Kevin just had a great game. |
I haven't looked at anybody's numbers, not even my own numbers. That doesn't matter. The only number I'm concerned about is us winning these last few games. |
I just want to get out there and help my team win. I can play one, two, three, four, five or sixth man if I have to. ... We're a playoff team, but talent will only take you so far. As a team, we need to get a little more hungry. |
I like Terence Morris, and I like how he plays. |
I really wanted this game because we were playing Detroit and because we really let a win slip away against Milwaukee (on Wednesday). |
I think we could have had a win tonight. Detroit stepped it up on the defensive end and won the game, but the next time, we'll know what to do. |
I want to be here my entire career. |
I was just trying to make a play for my team. The last thing Randy (Magic assistant coach Randy Ayers) told me was to make a play. I just wanted to get down and play good defense. |
I'm a big guy, but he's just a lot bigger than me. He's big, really big. It was a learning experience for me. Really, it was my first time guarding him, and I have to learn how to guard him better. |
I'm happy for my little guy. |
I'm just 19 and I've got a long time left in this league. This is just my second year and I'm still learning every night. |
I'm very surprised that Iverson didn't make it. I think he was one of the best leaders the team had in the Olympics, but I think what they're trying to do for the Olympic team is get a group of guys that's willing to play team ball. I'm not saying that Iverson isn't like that, but I think they're doing a youth movement for the Olympics. I think the older legs are getting brittle, so they might need some young fresh legs out there. |
I've got some work to do. We all do. We've got some time. This will be a good team. We've just got to get it all together. |
It feels good. From the get-go, we knew we could beat these guys. The story all year has been us not playing up to our potential, not playing as well as we can. When we do that, we lose, and that happened a lot earlier in the season. We've learned that we have to come out with the kind of intensity we had tonight every night. |
